“Talk Louisiana” host Jim Engster conducts first interview about upcoming memoir

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Baton Rouge, LA — August 18, 2025 — Award-winning journalist and broadcast veteran Jim Engster recently spoke on live radio with author Jeremy White about his upcoming memoir, InHumana: An American Healthcare Story. During White’s 21-minute interview on the August 14 edition of “Talk Louisiana,” the only child opened up about being conscripted into a war with a soulless monstrosity that repeatedly tried to throw his widowed mom’s life away with the surreptitious aid of unregulated artificial intelligence.

Months after a stroke and two seizures robbed White’s mom of use of her right side, a federal judge ruled her the victor of their war against Humana for wrongfully denying critically needed care. Their battle, which involved multiple hearings and appeals, is one that fewer than 10% of denied Medicare Advantage Plan members like her bother fighting, despite a 90% success rate for appeals. A Pulitzer-nominated investigation and two class-action lawsuits would eventually demystify Humana’s wanton gaslighting by revealing the shocking truth behind their inhumane decisions.

InHumana is a timely examination of the medical-industrial complex from the belly of the beast that explores what it means to be human and eviscerates the farce of corporate personhood. White’s genuine humor buoys heavy topics and hard-learned lessons about a nebulous appeals process. His epilogue — which addresses “Deny,” “Defend” and “Depose” — was prompted by a surge of interest in InHumana following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Weeks before his mom’s stroke, White independently published The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery, detailing how his wife, Edie, discovered her biological family in 2018. Before the tenured cynic penned a hopeful book, Jeremy and Edie founded the award-winning satirical publication Red Shtick Magazine, as well as its digital progeny, The Red Shtick, which served as an $800 clue in the 2022 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions.

White Lines Press will publish InHumana: An American Healthcare Story as a 172-page paperback, ebook, and audiobook on October 7. All three versions are available for presale through a host of booksellers, including a growing number of partnered independent bookstores across the country, all listed and mapped at InHumanaBook.com.
