This week on Behind the Lens, a dozen insurance companies went belly-up after the 2020 and 2021 hurricane seasons with even more companies announcing they will no longer provide insurance in the state in the intervening years. Now, politicians are stepping in with different proposals they say will help homeowners.

Reporter Marta Jewson reflects on the sometimes painful process of reporting on education in New Orleans.

Our guests this week are Lens reporters Delaney Dryfoos, Marta Jewson and managing editor Katy Reckdahl.

Theme music by Podington Bear. Additional music Spring Solstice by Podington Bear soundofpicture.com.
