Summary

This hour, Newell is joined by Don Dubuc, former host of the WWL Outdoor Show, to discuss the recent black bear sightings on the Northshore, explain why young bears sometimes wander into areas such as St. Tammany Parish, and share practical safety tips for residents who may encounter one as Louisiana’s bear population continues to grow. Then, Dr. Gil Hebert, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Tulane University, joins the show to talk about new research suggesting popular GLP-1 drugs may also affect the brain’s reward and impulse-control systems.
