HOUR ONE: Love, money, divorce, anger, and murder. One Pennsylvania family had it all and then some in the late 1800's. (The Butler County Tragedy) *** Count Saint Germain and Jacques Saint Germain, John and Wayne Carter, the Casket Girls of New Orleans. Despite many years between all of their lives, they all still have one grisly thing in common. All were thought to be, and possibly were, real vampires tied to the Big Easy… a place where real blood-suckers continue to live and roam the streets even now in the twenty-first century. (Vampires of New Orleans) *** They have a long history in the United Kingdom, stalking the moors and fog-carpeted streets in the night. But it appears hounds from Hell have also made their way to the Americas. (American Hellhounds)==========HOUR TWO: On a barren field in the U.S. state of Georgia, five granite slabs rise in a star pattern. Each of them weighs over 20 tons and on top of them, there is a capstone. Nobody knows who built it or why they were placed there, but one popular opinion that their purpose is to guide humanity after a predicted post-apocalyptic event that will come in the not so distant future.  (The American Stonehenge) *** When you think "fairies," what comes to mind? You probably picture an adorable and sparkly creature akin to Disney's Tinker Bell, a lovely - and above all, friendly - presence. You may even want to make contact with them. Unfortunately, glittering humanoids with butterfly wings are the stuff of children's books. Retrace faerie folklore, and you'll discover their secret scary origins. (The Dark Side of Fairies) *** In the Summer of 1949, a geologist named Vadim Kolpakov discovered a strange feature on the surface of the earth in the Bodaibo, Irkutsk, region of South-Eastern Siberia.  Encircled by a largely treed area, this anomaly is oval with a conical crater that contains a small ball-like mound in its middle.  The geologic mystery has baffled scientists who are uncertain of what caused this weird formation. (What Caused the Patomskiy Crater) *** Is there any truth behind the enduring legend of the werewolf?

In “There's No Business Like Hansen's Sno Bliz-ness,” Gravy producer Eve Troeh takes us to New Orleans, home of the sno-ball. In the South you need strategies to beat the summer heat, and ice plays a big role. Street vendors used to shave big blocks of ice by hand and add flavored syrup—a treat that became known as a sno-ball in the Big Easy. In the late 1930s, a local man, Ernest Hansen, invented a machine that changed the tradition. Sharp blades, encased in metal, turned chunks of ice into the most fluffy, fine “snow,” and he eventually patented this creation. While he kept his day job in New Orleans' manufacturing industry, Ernest's wife Mary ran with her husband's invention. She set up shop at home and eventually moved to a brick-and-mortar, dishing up fresh “snow” and dousing them with signature flavored syrups that she made by hand. They called their place Hansen's Sno-Bliz. Remarkably, Ernest's hand-built machines are still in use today, as are many of Mary's syrup recipes, and the business continues to cool off customers with some “air-conditioning for your tummy.” Hansen's Sno-Bliz is now in its 86th year, with Ernest and Mary's granddaughter, Ashley Hansen, at the helm. Ashley's was a long and loving journey to take on the business. She learned alongside her grandparents day by day. In a city that practically worships tradition, she honors her family and her customers by maintaining not just the original 1930s ice-shaving mechanics and syrup recipes, but also by cultivating the warm hospitality her grandparents always extended to anyone who entered. The cinder block corner shop on New Orleans' Tchoupitoulas Street looks humble, but you'll always find a line of customers stretching outside around the corner. The James Beard Foundation even bestowed Hansen's with its prestigious title of American Classic. New Orleanians from every corner of the city—and visitors from all around the world—eagerly line up to experience Hansen's, and form an of-the-moment community with each other as they choose their flavors and chat. In this cool edition of Gravy, Ashley Hansen shares the history, innovation, and spirit of her family's institution, always with Hansen's Sno-Bliz motto in mind: “There are no shortcuts to quality.” Learn more about your ad choices.

We get into a secret partnership between the New Orleans Police Department and Project NOLA, a private nonprofit organisation that owns and operates an extensive network of cameras blanketing New Orleans. For years, Project NOLA has been running live facial recognition through their cameras and sending automated notifications to the police when a match is made using Project NOLA's privately maintained list of “wanted people.” By going through an unofficial private partner, police have been able to sidestep and undermine legal prohibition on their use of AI technologies like facial recognition. We get into the history of using New Orleans as a testbed for policing technology, the dangerous precedent being set by this public-private relationship, and how this surveillance nightmare is on track to become even more expansive and unleashed thanks to potential policy changes. ••• Police secretly monitored New Orleans with facial recognition cameras https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/05/19/live-facial-recognition-police-new-orleans/ ••• A bad facial recognition match costs Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joe Lopinto's office.

When New Orleans native Ed Haslam began his research into the curious life and shocking murder of brilliant Tulane medical professor Dr. Mary Sherman, he didn't imagine that his inquiry would reveal a secret lab connected to some of the city's most unusual and historically significant citizens—Lee Harvey Oswald, David Ferrie, Guy Bannister, mob boss Carlos Marcello, medical titan Dr. Alton Oschner—and forces high up in the government. Nor did he expect his discoveries to change our understanding of the polio vaccine and AIDS, or the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.His book, “Dr. Mary's Monkey,” lays out the weird nexus of medical research, the CIA, Castro, and Oswald that all came together in the summer of ‘63 in the Big Easy. The plot he discovered is especially relevant today for its notable absence in the recently declassified JFK documents.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

In this episode, we talk with Christopher Nobles of Piety & Desire Chocolate in New Orleans.I visited New Orleans a very long time ago on a college road trip, and a lot of my images from that trip are still so sharp and clear. My impression of the city was that it didn't feel like it could exist in the United States, like it existed in a parallel version of the US or in a foreign country. The buildings and the foliage and the cemeteries—it all felt like it was just draped in this elegant decay. I haven't been back, sadly, but would love to revisit it now after having seen a lot more of the world and see how the city has changed, but more importantly, how I've changed and how my impressions of a place change with that.Christopher Nobles is a lifelong New Orleans resident, and at Piety & Desire Chocolate he brings elegance and indulgence to his range of bars and confections. In true Big Easy style, many of them incorporate alcoholic beverages from some of the city's new generation of producers. We talk about the flavors of New Orleans, its personality, and how it all makes its way into his chocolate.You can learn more about Piety & Desire Chocolate and order their bars on their website, or follow them on Instagram.

There are countless myths and reports throughout human history of places where spirits come down to earth. Where the intangible meets the material world. In the US, there are few places that better demonstrate this crossroads than New Orleans. People have tried to explain how the joy of living here triumphs over everyday things like dysfunction and potholes, with slogans like “The Big Easy,” and “The city that care forgot.” One of the locations you can witness this triumph of the spirit is the corner of Napoleon Avenue and Tchoupitoulas Street. No, not Rouse’s. Across the street. At Tipitina’s music club. Keith Spera from the Times Picayune has called Tipitina’s, “a sacred space.” Dr. John called it, “The church of the funky saints.” And Jazz Fest co-founder Quint Davis has referred to it as, “The Vatican of New Orleans music.” Tipitina’s was founded in 1977 by a bunch of young people who knew nothing about business, music promotion, running a restaurant, a bar, or a radio station – it was the original home of WWOZ. These folks just wanted a place that celebrated New Orleans musicians and gave them a stage to play on - and a guarantee they’d actually get the money that people paid to come see them. In 2018, history repeated itself when the members of the New Orleans band Galactic bought Tipitina’s. Musicians are not typically known for their firm grasp of the music business, but the doors are still open and the revenue streams have diversified, including a record business called Tipitina’s Record Club. Robert Mercurio is the bass player in Galactic, part owner of the legendary Tipitina’s music club, and Co-Founder of Tipitina’s Record Club. Besides music, there’s another strand of New Orleans where art meets commerce, and where, literally, the rubber meets the road. Motorcycle design and manufacture. It’s a lot less celebrated than our place in the history of music, but if you know a thing or two about motorbikes you’ll know my other lunch guest today, J.T. Nesbitt. J.T designed and was part of the team that produced motorcycles called The Wraith, the G2 Hellcat and The Magnolia Special, for Confederate Motorcycles, and later an electric bike, The Curtiss One. They’re all elegant works of art and powerful machines. Today, JT is designing and building a new line of bikes under the banner of his own company, Bienville Studios. Currently he’s building a bike called the Magnolia 4. We find out all about it in this edition of Out to Lunch but for now all you need to know is Jay Leno has one on order. The Tipitina’s logo with the half-peeled banana is a New Orleans icon. For locals and live music lovers everywhere it’s as recognizable as the Nike swoosh or the Mercedes hood ornament. Nike and Mercedes spend millions of dollars each year to keep their brands in front of people. Tipitina’s brand is spread mostly by people paying them – to buy a T-shirt or baseball cap. The lesson being, when you have a product people genuinely care about and cherish, it sells itself. The same philosophy can be applied to the motorbikes coming out of Bienville Studios. Robert Mercurio and J.T. Nesbitt are both at the helm of very different but equally unique and valuable New Orleans pieces of art and commerce. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

New Orleans is one of the oldest cities in America, but its acclaimed cuisine is hardly stuck in the past. Today, the local food scene is bolder, more diverse, and more inventive than ever. That's what food writer Beth D'Addono discovered when researching her latest publication, "City Eats: New Orleans." Offering an extensive overview of the local restaurant landscape, the book also provides over 50 recipes from the Big Easy's top chefs. Beth joins us to discuss this talented new guard of chefs and restaurateurs – many who found their footing during the pandemic. Then, we dig into two restaurants featured in Beth's book. From Addis NOLA, we hear from Dr. Biruk Alemayehu and Prince Lobo, the mother-and-son team bringing their authentic Ethiopian dining experience to historic Bayou Road. That includes injera bread and honey wine that have been served in the Horn of Africa for thousands of years. Finally, we take a field trip to the kitchen of GW Fins, an upscale seafood restaurant in the French Quarter, where we learn about Chef Michael Nelson's innovative work with dry-aging fish. The result is an elevated dish that is denser, more tender, and more flavorful. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

Laissez les bons temps rou This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief is taking you on a wild ride to New Orleans—home of soul, spice, and some of the best whiskey around. He sits down with Kieran Walsh, the co-founder and owner of Big Easy Whiskey, to dive deep into what makes this drink an absolute game-changer. This isn't your run-of-the-mill, ready-to-drink cocktail. Oh no—this is liquid magic. The foundation? A bold 5-year-old whiskey crafted with a traditional mash of 81% corn, 15% rye, and 4% barley, bottled at a perfect 86 proof. What does that mean? It's bold, boozy, and balanced—bitter and sweet—with a punch that'll have you feeling the spirit of New Orleans in every sip. Infused with their signature Old Fashioned blend of herbs, spices, botanicals, and fruit, this whiskey lets you skip the hassle while still delivering that rich, complex flavor.

“At the end of the day, the Pro Bowls and All Pro's are cool and stuff. But you know, I came in the league wanting to have a gold jacket." Nik Bonitto    Kicking off Super Bowl Wknd and getting ready for the big game with a player who faces the Chiefs twice a year and played with Philadelphia's quarterback at Oklahoma. In this episode of The Pivot Podcast, Ryan, Channig and Fred sit down with first time All Pro, Denver Broncos linebacker Nik Bonitto as he talks about his journey to the NFL, adjusting to life in Denver, facing Patrick Mahomes, playing with Jalen Hurts in college, his support of Broncos teammate Patrick Surtain II winning the Defensive Player of the Year and why people hate the Chiefs! Love them or hate them, you have to respect them says Bonitto about the Chiefs, especially Patrick Mahomes who always seems to find ways to win and is a true leader on and off the field. It's not about magic, cheating or any of that, it's about the formula for a winning DNA that KC has! Bonitto also talks about the same things that made Jalen Hurts great in college are what make him the special leader he is today with the Eagles. Bonitto gives his Super Bowl prediction and also recognizes his own teammate Patrick Surtain for being a technician on the field and winning the league's Defensive Player of the Year award as well as the future for their QB Bo Nix. Switching gears to his own career, Bonitto talks about his time as a Bronco and how adjusting to the altitude in Denver was a brutal reality check—Bonitto jokes that he thought he might get cut after his first rookie minicamp. He also speaks on the Broncos' disappointing culture in his rookie season the arrival of Sean Payton brought a much-needed cultural shift, as the veteran coach emphasized accountability and championship habits as the Broncos try to compete with a tough AFC West division.   Bonitto opens up about his struggles early in his career, particularly the frustration of not getting playing time despite being Denver's first pick. He credits his faith in God for keeping him focused, knowing that bigger things were planned for him and his hard work ethic of staying ready.   He also discusses his personal goals, gives Channing some fashion advice and who his pick is in this year's Super Bowl LIX matchup between Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. Enjoy this conversation Pivot Fam as we get ready for the Big Game in the Big Easy!
