Then, Kevin Callison, PhD, Associate Professor/Program Director of the MPH in Health Policy & Management at Tulane University, joins the show to discuss Medicaid cuts in Louisiana.

In Louisiana, proposed Medicaid cuts, including a reduction in federal funding and new rules like work requirements, could have significant impacts on the state's healthcare system and residents. These changes could lead to reduced access to healthcare, potential hospital and clinic closures, and increased uncompensated care costs for providers. Kevin Callison, PhD, Associate Professor/Program Director of the MPH in Health Policy & Management at Tulane University, joins Newell to discuss the issue.

The Grand Isle International Tarpon Rodeo is scheduled for July 24-26, 2025. The event will take place in Grand Isle, Louisiana, and will feature a fishing tournament, live music, food, and arts and crafts. It's known as America's oldest fishing tournament. Jason Bergeron, Terrebonne Parish President & Tarpon Rodeo President, joins Newell to talk about it.
