OFFBITES: Killer umbrellas and the dying Dead Sea

Full Show 6/9/2026: We are addicted to fake saviors, and the solution is more ritual to induce more agency

On today's show, Ian Hoch has on Andrew Doss, a local and international climate governance lawyer, playwright, and soon-to-be Episcopal priest, to discuss why he decided the questions he cared about most were spiritual ones, Russell Honoré, retired Army Lieutenant General, to urge people to get prepared for hurricanes and emergencies with the expectation of not looking to FEMA for assistance, and Joe Heeren-Mueller, coordinator at the Louisiana Advocacy Coalition on Homelessness, to discuss a bill that would make unauthorized camping on public property a crime.

Hour 3: Louisiana lawmakers have passed a bill that would make unauthorized camping on public property a crime

This hour, Ian Hoch is joined by Joe Heeren-Mueller, coordinator at the Louisiana Advocacy Coalition on Homelessness, to discuss a bill that would make unauthorized camping on public property a crime.

The "Streets to Success Act" may pave a road to disaster

Louisiana lawmakers have passed a bill that would make unauthorized camping on public property a crime. Supporters say it’s about restoring order and pushing people toward services. Critics say it punishes people for having nowhere else to go. Do we have the shelter beds, treatment options, and housing to make this work?

Hour 2: How does it change your readiness plan knowing FEMA may not show up in the way we've come to expect?

This hour, Ian Hoch drops the 2 O'clock News Bomb and covers the U.S. Apache helicopter shot down by an Iranian drone, new renderings of one of the most famous train stations in the country, and President Trump's reception in Madison Square Garden during the third NBA Finals game. Then, Russell Honoré, retired Army Lieutenant General, joins the show to urge people to get prepared for hurricanes and emergencies with the expectation of not looking to FEMA for assistance.

FEMA ain't FEMAing like it used to, so it's up to you to get prepared for hurricanes as effectively as possible

Hurricane season is here, and it is not too late to prepare your home and your family for what could come, especially with FEMA operating at greatly reduced capacity, leading to slower prep and weaker response. How does it change your readiness plan knowing the federal government might not show up in the way we've come to expect? Russell Honoré, retired Army lieutenant general, joins Ian Hoch to talk about it.
