Whether it's through television, books, or blogs – Louisiana's food culture is reaching audiences far beyond our borders. On this week's show, we meet three unofficial ambassadors who represent our state and cuisine on the world stage. We begin with Chef Isaac Toups of Toups' Meatery in New Orleans' Mid City neighborhood. In 2016, we discovered just how much the camera loved Isaac when he was voted fan favorite on Bravo Network's "Top Chef." In the years since, Isaac has successfully promoted Cajun cuisine and culture thanks to his popular cookbook, "Chasing the Gator." George Graham has called Acadiana home his entire life and has made it his mission to preserve and promote Cajun and Creole culture through stories and recipes. George shares his obsession through his nationally recognized blog and book, "Acadiana Table: Cajun and Creole Home Cooking from the Heart of Louisiana." Finally, Chef Kevin Belton tells of his journey from a child growing up in New Orleans to PBS cooking show host – a job that has him introducing the cuisine of the Bayou State to countless foodies.

It's been just over a week since President Donald Trump took office for the second time. One of his first orders of business was signing pardons to all individuals convicted of offenses related to storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, including some Louisianans. But the pardons were met with mixed reactions from the state's politicians, with Republican Senator Bill Cassidy speaking out against it. Mark Ballard, Washington correspondent with The Advocate Capitol News Bureau, joins us to discuss their response. Ten years ago, New Orleans passed its smoke-free casinos ordinance. It might seem like the status quo, but many remember when restaurants, bars, and casinos allowed for smoking and separate sections.Onjewel Smith, southern states strategist for Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights, tells us more about this landmark ordinance and what it meant for workers' rights. An event highlighting the historical cultural connections between Louisiana and Ghana will take place in Baton Rouge on Sunday. The West African nation is responsible for some of the integral elements of Louisiana culture, including dance, food and music. Musicians Andrew Wiseman and Jeremy Thomas tell us more about this upcoming event, “Roots of Our Own: A Legacy Project,” which will take place at the East Baton Rouge Parish Library main branch at Goodwood. —Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

Robbie was sitting down about to have a banquet at the Hunters Ball in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe when he received a text message. Now that is a feat unto itself, since Zimbabwe does not have a cell carrier that is compatible with Verizon, but somehow Robbie had connected to WiFi and got this text message. All it said was - "Louisiana State Record Whitetail has been broken." The pictures on his phone halfway around the world made his mouth drop. As Tyler Jordan says in this podcast, "probably the biggest typical whitetail that is likely going to be seen." Well, of course we had to podcast about it. It's not often that you get to record right after a history-making buck hits the ground, but that's exactly what we did. Robbie catches up with Drew and Tyler out of the Bayou State about their incredible achievement harvesting the new state record whitetail of Louisiana, a record that has stood since 1939. Hear their incredible story, the heart of the hunt behind it, and the incredible conservation work that goes into producing state record animals for us to enjoy. Do you have questions we can answer?

It's been a long, hot summer, but fall has finally arrived in Louisiana! As temperatures and humidity go down, the Bayou State comes alive with a colorful array of autumn events and festivals. On this week's show, we enjoy a taste of fall. We begin on the Northshore, where the annual Abita Fall Fest is about to kick off, bringing national acts and local artists to the quaint town of Abita Springs. We meet festival co-founder Anthony Essaied at his restaurant and bar, Abita Brew Pub, to learn about the charming town he calls home. The arrival of October also means Oktoberfest. Chef Horst Pfiffer joins us to talk about the authentic German-style fun on tap at both Middendorf's Restaurants in Manchec and Slidell. Bavarian brews aside, there's perhaps no drink that better complements the joys of fall than a crisp hard cider. At Kingfish Cider in Jefferson Parish, Colleen Keogh is crafting and serving this bubbly alcoholic drink all year-round. Colleen gives us a tour of her cidery and taproom and explains why cider makes a refreshing alternative to traditional options.

Opioid overdoses are on the rise in the Gulf South, driven largely by an increase in fentanyl. At one school in Louisiana, medical students are learning how to use Narcan to prevent overdose deaths. As the Gulf States Newsroom's Drew Hawkins reports, many of the students have been touched by the opioid crisis themselves.

549. This week we're happy to have Louisiana's current poet laureate Alison Pelegrin visiting us. 'Alison was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. She received an MFA from the University of Arkansas. Pelegrin is the author of Waterlines (Louisiana State University Press, 2016); Hurricane Party (University of Akron Press, 2012); Big Muddy River of Stars (University of Akron Press, 2007), which received the 2006 Akron Poetry Prize; and The Zydeco Tablets (Word Press, 2002). About Pelegrin's poetry, Martha Serpas writes, “Alison Pelegrin is one of the sharpest wits to come out of the Bayou State in a long time. She can conjure Louisiana's present-tense, unapologetic, tragicomic drama with authenticity.” She teaches at Southeastern Louisiana University and lives in Covington, Louisiana. In 2023, she was appointed the poet laureate of Louisiana through 2025' (Poets.org). This week in Louisiana history. November 18, 1719. The ship Les Deux Freres brings first mass-arrival of Germans to Louisiana. This week in New Orleans history. Royal Street Branch Library Opens November 25, 1907. The Royal Branch at 2110 Royal Street (Royal at Frenchmen), funded by a grant from Andrew Carnegie, was the first NOPL branch to open, on November 25, 1907. Two other branches, Algiers and Napoleon, also built with Carnegie funds, opened shortly afterward and continue to serve the public today. The Royal Branch was a one-story and basement structure of the Doric style of architecture. It was fire-proof, the exterior and interior walls being of pressed brick and the floors of concrete. It occupied a lot 65 by 98 feet, and sat upon a low terrace. The interior space was divided into reading, attendants', janitor's, storage and toilet rooms. The reading-room was 40 by 50 feet with a ceiling height of sixteen feet which had no interior columns or other obstructions — giving the impression of an even larger room. This week in Louisiana.

The voters of Louisiana put the Demoncrats on notice. Over the weekend, the Republicans won three major seats in the state's run-offs. In addition to the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor, the Republicans now control the Attorney General's Office, the Secretary of State, and the Treasurer. This is the first time since 2015 the Republicans control all state wide offices in a state that has more registered Demoncrats than Republicans. Mike Church reveals how the Republicans won the state with the help from Old Time Democrats and Independents. He will expose why they voted the way they did and how this election is special for Louisiana, and why a New Catholic France is rising in the bayou state.
This summer, the energy company First Solar began construction on a new facility in Iberia Parish in south Louisiana. The $1.1 billion facility marked the beginning of what some say could help turn Louisiana into a robust energy powerhouse rather than just a fossil-fuels economy. Terrence Chambers, director of the Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Energy Center at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, joins us to talk about the future of solar energy in Louisiana. It's an exciting time for hockey in Louisiana! Not only did we recently saw the sport's return at the minor league level with the Baton Rouge Zydeco, but just weeks later, the first Bayou State native made his debut in the National Hockey League. Baton Rouge-born Mason Lohrei, of Baton Rouge, plays for the Boston Bruins and his father, David Lohrei, once coached Baton Rouge Kingfish, a team that played here from 1996 until 2003. Mason and David Lohrei joined Louisiana Considered's managing producer, Alana Schreiber, for more on their journeys in the sport and what it means to finally have a Louisianan on the NHL ice. Last Saturday was Veterans Day, and one way to honor former service members is to learn a bit more about their history in our region. For many Black soldiers returning from World War I, health care was hard to come by. That changed in 1923, when the Veterans Bureau, now the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, established a hospital in Tuskegee, Ala., to treat Black veterans from around the country. One hundred years later, it's still in operation. NPR's Debbie Elliott paid a visit to learn more. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

It's no secret that 2023 has been a big year for sports in the Bayou State, as Louisiana State University took home two championship titles in women's basketball and baseball. But LSU's accomplishments aren't the only ones worth celebrating, as the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame (LSHOF) gears up to induct this year's class honoring some of the best athletes, coaches and journalists the state has ever seen. Walter Imahara is a six-time USA National Weightlifting Champion and longtime resident of Baton Rouge, where he runs a gardening and landscaping business. He joins us for more on his athletic career that led him from a Japanese internment camp to becoming a six-time national weightlifting champion. The Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame doesn't just honor former athletes, but all those who have contributed to the sporting world, including coaches, agents, journalists and broadcasters. For more, we are joined by two other 2023 LSHOF inductees: Paul Mainieri, former LSU baseball coach who led the Tigers to their 2009 championship win, discusses his love of working with young people. And Lori Lyons, sports reporter for The Advocate, L'Observateur and current journalism and multimedia teacher at Riverside Academy, discusses the trail she blazed for women in the industry.

Louisiana native Charles Marsala has done a lot to promote the history of Italian life in the Bayou State. From creating hours of documentary videos to a mobile app that provides a free walking tour of over sixty Italian American points of interest in and around the Crescent City, the President of the American Italian Federation of the Southeast never rests in his efforts to promote the immense Italian heritage of his home state. His latest project is one that clearly has a special place in his big Sicilian heart because Charles is one of the many Louisianans who can claim an ancestor amongst the 60,000 Sicilian immigrants who were recruited between 1870-1920 to work as sugarcane harvesters on the plantations and farms of South Louisiana. And now, this proud descendent of those tireless laborers is returning to one of the area's historic sugar plantations with plans to build a monument in their honor. In this week's episode, Charles returns to the Italian American Podcast to tell us the story of the proposed monument to the Sicilian Sugarcane Harvester. Designed by Franco Alessandrini (creator of New Orleans' beloved Monument to the Immigrant), this stunning piece of public art will forever memorialize the Sicilian experience on the grounds of a former sugarcane plantation. Charles explains how this monument will be located in the heart of the “river parishes” in Louisiana and why sugarcane, the cash crop of the post-Civil War south, attracted so many Sicilian immigrants to a life of back-breaking toil. We're discussing remembrances of our ancestors and why each generation stands on the work-weary shoulders of those who came before. If you are interested in contributing to fundraising efforts for this monument, visit www.sugarcaneharvester.org. This episode is sponsored by Mediaset Italia.
The rustling and murmurs started with the tales unveiled on the artist-formerly-known-as Rod Melancon‘s full-length debut Parish Lines (2014), almost like ghosts of past and present from the Austin transplant’s childhood home of Vermilion Parrish.

How does a recipe become a retail offering? On this week's show, we track the path of great dishes and drinks from restaurant to retail. We begin with the Bayou State's spiciest new business, Louisiana Pepper Exchange. Founder and CEO Chris White tells the story of how a particular engineering feat of his led him to launch the new company. Then, we visit with research and development chef Ross Robertson, who is often tasked with turning a restaurant's signature drink or dish into a retail commodity. That's a dream that Warren Chapoton, founder of Juan's Flying Burrito, is currently pursuing. Warren and co-owner Jay Morris tell us the story of the New Orleans-based Creole-Mexican institution, and why they will soon be introducing their very own spice line. Finally, Christa Cotton of El Guapo Bitters shares how her company is manufacturing bitters and syrups so that every home bar is capable of mixing professional-style cocktails.

Spring is in bloom in the Bayou State, which means festivals, outdoor gatherings and, of course, Easter! If you grew up in the Gulf South, there's a good chance your Easter basket was filled with treats from Elmer Chocolate – our state's very own heritage candy company. On this week's show, we hop over to Ponchatoula to tour the factory where Elmer's prized Gold Bricks, Heavenly Hash, and Pecan Eggs are made. Then, we participate in "The Slowest Second Line on Earth" at Brennan's in the French Quarter, where we meet ten terrific turtles and a rapping judge. Finally, we brave the rain for a rollicking cocktail tour, conducted by Richard Read, Elizabeth Pearce, and Allison Alsup – authors of The French Quarter Drinking Companion.
Ellen Whitfield and I discuss how she went from being a reader to a copyeditor to a book reviewer to a publicist with BOOKS FORWARD. We talk specifically about budget numbers for authors preparing to promote their newest launch, strategies for promoting backlists, entering awards contests, what every author should include in their email signature, working with a publisher's in-house publicity team, and so much more. Ellen balances her understanding of “the other side of the desk” when it comes to media pitching, with a true love of an avid bibliophile. She was part of the journalism community for more than seven years, working at respected print and online media outlets including The Dallas Morning News, The Advocate newspapers of Baton Rouge and New Orleans (where she coordinated book coverage), the Waco Tribune Herald and others. Her experience on the editorial side of the travel, community and lifestyle sections of newspapers, along with her social and online media savviness as a popular Bookstagrammer, is to the benefit of authors across genres. She has an eye for design and a passion for detail. Ellen provides daily mentorship to the Books Forward team and trains incoming publicists to provide expanded services to our growing and beloved Books Forward family. A Louisiana State University graduate, Ellen lives in the Bayou State with her newspaper-executive husband, bright-and-spirited daughter (we know where she gets that from!) and an ever-growing collection of 550 books.

Then, we visit with research and development chef Ross Robertson, who is often tasked with turning a restaurant's signature drink or dish into a retail commodity. That's a dream that Warren Chapoton, founder of Juan's Flying Burrito, is currently pursuing. Warren and co-owner Jay Morris tell us the story of the New Orleans-based Creole-Mexican institution, and why they will soon be introducing their very own spice line. Finally, Christa Cotton of El Guapo Bitters shares how her company is manufacturing bitters and syrups so that every home bar is capable of mixing professional-style cocktails.

Across the Bayou State, people are taking their destiny into their own hands and pursuing entrepreneurial dreams of owning their own business. On this week's show, we encounter a Louisiana-style cornucopia of self-starters who forged their own path to find success in the sphere of food. We begin with Alfonzo Bolden, who, along with his brother Troy, is co-CEO of Cajun Nation Cajun Seasoning Company, based out of Lafayette. While there's no denying their food talents, Alfonzo and Troy's true genius lies in knowing just when to trademark a name – which for them, often precedes the product concept.

When does environmental protection become regulatory overreach? As part of the "Great Reset" agenda to "Build Back Better," Biden's new America the Beautiful report outlines plans to conserve 30 percent of the nation's lands and waters by 2030 – reversing many sensible reforms to the Endangered Species Act, for example, that have occurred over the last four years.Remember the infamous Louisiana frog case? Federal agents in the Obama administration deprived a landowner of property by designating 1,500 acres of his land as "critical habitat" for the dusky gopher frog... a creature that hadn't been seen in the Bayou State for more than 50 years. Thankfully, Pacific Legal Foundation successfully defended the landowner in a 9-0 Supreme Court victory.Now, the federal government under Biden is overreaching once again – weaponizing environmentalism against property rights. The Endanger Species Act may have good intentions, but its implementation has caused untold harm to countless human beings, while distorting incentives for achieving actual conservation.I was joined by Damien Schiff to discuss the Biden administration's despotic approach to environmental regulation. Damien is a senior attorney at Pacific Legal Foundation. He leads its environmental practice group, a unique initiative that draws broadly from PLF's expertise and success in property rights and separation of powers litigation. Over the years, Damien has represented hundreds of landowners and property rights advocates to defend their liberties against heavy-handed and unwarranted environmental and land-use regulation.Find out how you can help in the fight against federal overreach on the show of ideas, not attitude.
INONDATIONS : LA TRAGÉDIE ALLEMANDE – 16/07/21 Invités PHILIPPE DESSERTINE Directeur de l'Institut de Haute Finance EMMANUEL BOCRIE Prévisionniste – Météo France FRANÇOISE VIMEUX Climatologue – Directrice de recherche à l'IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement) SOPHIE FAY Journaliste au service Économie – « L'Obs » EMMA HAZIZA – En duplex Hydrologue Arbres arrachés, routes inondées, maisons détruites… De violentes intempéries ont frappé l'Allemagne, la Belgique, le Luxembourg et les Pays-Bas ce jeudi 15 juillet. Du jamais vu depuis 20 ans. En Allemagne, sur la commune de Erftstadt-Blessem, près de Cologne, un spectaculaire glissement de terrain, consécutif aux crues, a emporté de nombreuses maisons et créé un trou béant. Plusieurs personnes sont décédées et d'autres portées disparues, ont annoncé les autorités locales. Cet événement alourdit le bilan des victimes dans cette région de Rhénanie du Nord-Westphalie, la plus touchée par les intempéries meurtrières, avec celle voisine de Rhénanie-Palatinat. Ce vendredi, le bilan est monté à plus de 100 morts. La Belgique, elle aussi, est durement touchée par ces inondations : une grande partie du sud et de l'est du pays s'est réveillée sous l'eau, jeudi matin. Au moins quinze décès sont à déplorer à ce jour. Le réseau ferroviaire du pays, Infrabel, a annoncé, jeudi, qu'il suspendait le trafic dans la moitié sud du pays, compte tenu de la situation. La situation pourrait encore s'aggraver sous l'effet d'intempéries persistantes. Une situation catastrophique en Europe qui n'est pas sans rappeler la tempête Alex. En octobre 2020, au cœur de la haute vallée de la Roya, des inondations défiguraient le département des Alpes-Maritimes. Mais, 9 mois plus tard, comment se passe la reconstruction de la vallée ? Les travaux avancent mais l'accès à cette zone reste toujours compliqué. Pour l'heure, routes et ponts n'ont pas tous été reconstruits alors que la saison estivale bat son plein. Et certains habitants, qui ont perdu leur logement, n'ont toujours pas été indemnisés totalement. Aux États-Unis, le littoral d'une région risque de disparaître : celui de la Louisiane, surnommée le Bayou State. Les bayous, c'est ce subtil mariage d'eau et de terre qui s'étend sur une dizaine de milliers de km2, depuis la frontière avec le Texas jusqu'à celle avec l'Etat du Mississippi. Chaque année, 62 km2 de terre disparaissent, soit la superficie d'un terrain de foot toutes les heures. En cause ? Le réchauffement climatique qui fait grimper le niveau des océans. Mais, surtout, l'action de l'homme : l'écosystème du bayou est bouleversé par la multiplication des puits de pétrole dans la zone depuis le début du XXe siècle. Une réalité que certains Américains de la région préfèrent ignorer. Quelle est la situation en Allemagne et en Belgique après les inondations ? Comment la vallée de la Roya se reconstruit-elle après la tempête Alex ? Pourquoi l'État de la Louisiane, aux États-Unis, voit-il son littoral disparaître peu à peu ?

Louisiana is one of the states that are most badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the real estate market has really felt the brunt of the crisis. With the current rate of foreclosures – among the highest in the nation – short sale deals are starting to increase, but many investors are backing out because of market uncertainty and high rates of delinquency and forbearances. Scott Carson gets into the details of these significant developments with Cecil Rose, a real estate agent and investor who has specialized in short sales and other creative financing strategies for the last nine years. Focusing on the New Orleans and Baton Rouge markets, Scott and Cecil discuss the current state of the Louisiana market, what investors are looking for and what the future holds. It will be a rough ride for the Bayou State, but there might still be opportunities if you know where to look for them.Love the show?

On this episode, we are joined by Ronald Haley, Esq. attorney for the family of Trayford Pellerin, a 31-year-old Black man killed in a hail of 17 bullets by Lafayette Parrish (Louisiana) police officers as he was walking away from them. Pellerin was killed two days before the world learned of another 29-year-old Black man, Jacob Blake, who was shot in the back seven times by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, leaving him paralyzed. While Blake’s case went viral, Pellerin’s case remains noticeably out of the headlines. Mr. Haley updates us on the details of the Pellerin case and the steps he and local activists are taking to bring justice to those responsible for his death.

For our latest episode of The LaPolitics Report podcast, longtime Bayou State politico and LSU professor Bob Mann sat down for an in-depth interview about his career in newsrooms, on Capitol Hill and in the classroom. In an entertaining and revealing discussion, Mann spoke about his early political experiences (as a Republican, no less) and the path that eventually took him through the offices of Russell Long, John Breaux and Kathleen Blanco. Mann also gives his early thoughts on the 2019 governor's race and what is ahead for the candidates, although he is avoiding an outright prediction. “I learned last time not to make any predictions,”he said. “I've never been happier to be wrong about something than I was about that race.” Plus we get a congressional update from Adams & Reese's Zach Butterworth and look back on ads from the career of former U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu.

Duck Dynasty star Tim Guraedy is best known to the show's millions of hard-core fans as “Mountain Man,” the slow-talking air-conditioning repairman/radio host who is a neighbor to the Robertsons, the Louisiana family that made a fortune from its best-selling duck calls, around which the show is based. Mountain Man is the only semi-regular cast member who is not a Robertson family member or employee of Duck Commander. Now in its eighth season, Duck Dynasty has become A&E's most-watched series in the network's history. While he was born in Louisiana, Guraedy moved around a bit in his youth, spending time in Minnesota, Tennessee, and Indiana. But the lure of the Bayou State was too strong, and Guraedy returned to Louisiana, which has been his home for the past twenty-five years. He lives in Monroe, LA, the small town made famous by Duck Dynasty and Duck Commander. Guraedy's weekly radio show on local station Z107.5, Big Z Country, has become popular all over the globe, with people tuning in via the Internet to hear Mountain Man's delightful mix of common sense, sports, music—and usually a Bible verse or two. To know Mountain Man is to know a man whose Christian faith is a big part of who he is. “Life's not easy, but I have God in my life and it's so much better. So much better,” he has said. “I love being able to actually go to schools and give speeches about bullying, drugs, and abstinence. It makes my soul feel good.” Guraedy is also an avid outdoorsman who enjoys both fresh and salt water fishing, as well as hunting everything from wild boar to, well, ducks, of course.

Jeff Singer of Daily Kos Elections joins to discuss politics in the Louisiana
Louisiana is losing chunks of its coast at a remarkable rate. The erosion threatens to destroy most of the US offshore oil and gas production, much of its seafood industry and millions of homes. Should the fossil fuel industry foot the bill for restoring the coast? Or should taxpayers pony up the full amount?
Since most Louisianans are nurtured to embrace an extraverted social life, getting together is second nature to life in the Bayou State. But as often as bombastic parades and revelries help build our communities, spending time over at ya mom's house is just as important. On this week's show we're joined by a group of guests who want nothing more than for you to be comfortable in your own home. Nancy Vienneau tells us how the monthly gatherings at her house turned her neighbors into friends; David and Lesley Solomonson help build an inexpensive liquor cabinet; and Johnette Downing keeps the kids entertained with upbeat songs about Louisiana cuisine. SWEET POTATO BISCUITS from Nancy Vienneau s Third Thursday Community Potluck Cookbook 2 medium sweet potatoes to make 2 cups cooked sweet potatoes 4 cups self rising flour 1/3 plus 1/4 cup raw sugar such as demerara or turbinado , divided 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk, divided 10 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces 1/4 cup pecan pieces optional Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Place them on a baking sheet in the oven and bake until soft, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove, allow them to cool, and then scoop out the insides. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl add the self rising flour, 1/3 cup sugar, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Add the sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup buttermilk, and butter pieces. Working with your hands, mix all the ingredients, rubbing the butter pieces into the flour. Work quickly; soon it will all come together in a mass. If it is too sticky, add a bit more flour. Beware of overworking the dough it will toughen. Dust a cutting board or counter with flour. Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thick and cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter. Place on the baking sheet close together sides touching is fine . Place pecan pieces into a food processor fitted with a chopping blade. Pulse the nuts until they become finely ground. Pour into a small bowl. Add the 1/4 cup sugar and whisk until well combined. Brush the biscuit tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons buttermilk and sprinkle them with the ground pecan and sugar mixture. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 3 dozen 2 inch round biscuits. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own. Add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice to the same quantity 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of whole milk. You may omit this step if desired.
