Car insurance is an important safeguard, but at what cost? Nicole Beck of The Zebra, a leading insurance comparison website, tells us what the company has found in its recent report on the state of auto insurance in Louisiana.

Earlier this month, Governor John Bel Edwards announced the creation of a new task force on Statewide Litter Abatement and Beautification, but some residents aren’t going around to wait around and let the trash pile up. WRKF’s Karen Henderson spoke to Jennifer Richardson about her volunteer cleanup organization, Keep Tiger Town Beautiful.

On this annual day of commemoration, the UN urges every member state to honor the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazism. On today’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, we listen back to an interview with late survivor Iriving Roth.
