About No Matter the Water
No Matter the Water is a five-part audio documentary about what it takes to stay rooted on the Gulf Coast, even as the land and weather change around us. Through intimate, place-based storytelling, the series follows five South Louisianans as they share stories of ingenuity, faith and community. From floating homes to restoring land, each episode highlights how people are protecting what matters: their families, their traditions and their way of life.
This series brings listeners into kitchens, churches and backyards to encounter neighbors helping neighbors, local knowledge leading the way and communities doing what they’ve always done: adapting, working hard and looking out for each other.
Whether you're interested in disaster recovery, preserving your heritage, or simply hearing how everyday Americans meet hard times with clear-eyed determination, No Matter the Water is a tribute to the strength and wisdom of people who call this place home.
