Life Raft: 'Is It Ever Gonna Be Too Hot To Live Here?'

Laura Sanders

In this debut episode of Life Raft we’re digging into extreme heat: Is it ever gonna be too hot to live here?

Hosts Lauren and Travis talk to a doctor about what happens to the human body when it starts to overheat, and to a New Orleans resident on a mission to cool off her neighborhood by planting hundreds of trees. They share laughs with both.

The question for this episode came from New Orleans-based comedian Kamari Stevens (IG: @supermaribro).
