This podcast is your front-row seat to the world of intellectual thought, creative expression, books, ideas, and thought-provoking conversations with some of the most brilliant minds and celebrated authors of our time.
In this gripping and emotionally charged conversation, author Jared Fishman and Judge Calvin Johnson unpack the horrifying case of Henry Glover in post-Katrina New Orleans and the federal investigation that exposed corruption, violence, and systemic failures inside the New Orleans Police Department. Fishman reflects on his journey from international conflict zones to the DOJ, revealing how war, race, policing, and power intersected in one of the most disturbing civil rights cases in modern American history. Together, they explore police cover-ups, the “blue wall” of silence, the moral cost of institutional corruption, and how the Henry Glover case ultimately helped force reforms inside the city’s police department.
