First of all, welcome to Louisiana! You will fall in love with the people and unique culture of the Bayou State.
Secondly, it has become somewhat fashionable to trash Jindal on the radio for some reason. I think he’s doing a pretty good job taking on the teachers’ unions and upsetting the apple cart, so to speak. Shreveport and the I-20 corridor in general is a pretty conservative area. Moon is a pretty solid radio guy but he does say things at times just to be outlandish and controversial.
Thanks. I have been here for 24 days and so far...I do like it.
I mostly agree with the previous poster. Shreveport is a lot more like East Texas than it is like Southern Louisiana. More conservative socially. Crime is HORRIBLE in certain neighborhoods and therefore drives the crime stats of Shreveport up, however, if you stay out of those areas it’s a very safe place to be.
710 is a good station. Almost all the hosts are conservative. Griffon is just an ego-maniac though. His hatred of Jindal is mostly because he expected to be a large influence on policy and he really hasn’t been. Jindal has done a great job as compared to Blanco who he replaced. Just ignore that blow hard when it comes to anything he says about Jindal. He gets it right on most of the others though.
