As Hurricane Katrina churned across the Gulf of Mexico in late summer of 2005, Steve Grimm of Picayune was busy attending to the daily challenges of running Highlands Community Hospital (then Crosby Memorial Hospital).  While the storm ravaged the Gulf Coast on the morning of August 29, he and his staff tried to save medical records and equipment as the roof blew off the building.

In the episode, Grimm describes the situation they faced the morning after including, no security, only backup generators for power and shortages of food, fuel and other basic necessities of life.  He explains how they began to pick up the pieces and prepare for the next time even as they struggled to return to something close to normalcy.

According to Grimm, lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina will not be wasted.  He is proud of how his hospital staff stood up to adversity and confident that they will be better prepared moving forward.

NBA Finals are almost over. Is Lebron actually better than MJ statistically? listen to find out why. Is Lebron more like Crosby or Tiger? The Warriors complete the perfect season, but are they as good as Bulls, Lakers, or Celtics of all time? And what will become of Cleveland?

David Pritchard and Tai Crosby, co-founders of SilVR Thread, which is a cutting edge company delivering virtual reality experiences, discuss developing  immersive first-person virtual reality with their proprietary cameras. 

Nat, Mike and Dan will drink your style down straight, no chaser, but sometimes they get bored of style and go looking for substance. No, not around the back of Lidl, they look for the things which really matter, the big questions: what power will TT be granted this week? Who's next up in the big job at Miami? And will they hire Condi Rice to take over Special Teams?

Christmas music is a divisive subject this time of year, and not just for music aficionados. It's an inescapable part of the holiday season that some choose to embrace, while others strive to avoid. In this podcast, we go through our favorite Christmas songs, our most hated, and our favorite 10 Christmas albums.

This was a special episode we recorded using BLAB featuring a panel discussion with Connie Crosby (@conniecrosby) and Kim Vallee (@kimvalee)

Hey everybody!  I'm Jennifer Vickery… so glad you’ve joined us for another Inside Music Row.  We have lots in store for you today, so let’s get started.  The guys from Florida Georgia Line are giving new meaning to their six time platinum hit song “Cruise.”  Instead of a Chevy with a lift kit, they’re moving on up with their own “This Is How We Cruise” music festival at sea.  Look for Nelly, Thomas Rhett, Colt Ford, and plenty of other special guests to get in on the “Cruise.”  Fans are welcome to join them by signing up at F-G-L Cruise dot com. 

Legendary newsman Dan Rather recently spent some time in Music City, and was welcomed by the Grand Ole Opry as a special guest announcer.  After taking the microphone, he recalled growing up as a fan of the Opry and country music in Texas.  The Opry is currently looking ahead to the 90^th anniversary celebration next year, so I wouldn’t be too surprised to see him back soon.

Charlie Daniels is celebrating the release of his new “Off The Grid” album with a new national tour.  Look for the music legend to perform about a hundred dates around the country through the end of the year.  Charlie says that ‘having new material to play on the live show is like pouring a little hot sauce on your morning eggs, just adds a little extra zest to the set.’

Cassadee Pope didn’t waste any tears as she was presented with a platinum plaque at the Grand Ole Opry.  She performed her debut hit “Wasting All These Tears” on the hallowed Opry stage as well as her new single “I Wish I Could Break Your Heart” before being surprised backstage with a plaque and special heart-shaped cake.  Look for Cassadee on the road this summer when she joins Tim McGraw’s “Sundown Heaven Town 20-14” tour.

Top wedding website The Knot dot com has posted its “twelve hottest wedding songs for 20-14,” and Lee Brice’s “I Don’t Dance” was the number one pick.  The song was originally written as a wedding gift to Lee’s wife Sara when they were married last April.  Written about a shy groom’s first dance, they say the song is perfect for dancing, despite the title.

Now it's time to go “Inside The Song.”  Rob Crosby co-wrote a cool track with Rose Falcon and Eric Paslay, which Eric took all the way to number one.  Rob told us all about how “Friday Night” got started.

Eric Paslay is no stranger to number one hits.  He’s already earned number ones with hits like “Barefoot Blue Jean Night,” “Even If It Breaks Your Heart,” and “Angel Eyes” as a songwriter, but he recently hit the top spot on the charts for the first time as an artist with “Friday Night.”  Co-written with Rose Falcon and Rob Crosby, “Friday Night” is Eric’s third single released as an artist since signing with EMI in 2011.  Kelly Lynn caught up with the honorees at a party at the Country Music Association to celebrate that song’s success.

This is Christmas. Well at least per Drunkards Call it is. This is another in our line of DC Echo's shows where we drop a sound track in for a short discussion on, well whatever comes up. This week we endure Christmas music. If this show doesn't get you in the mood for Christmas it's definitely going to take you out of it.  Happy Holiday's and cheers to ya!
