613 Part 1 of out chat with Ana Croegaert about the removal of Confederate monuments. We also talked to her about her participation in second line parades around the city. “In 2017, the City of New Orleans removed four segregation-era monuments celebrating the Southern Confederacy and valorizing white supremacist ideology. As in other cities, efforts to remove such monuments are not new, and historically have been connected to collective challenges to racialized inequality, and more recently to transnational postcolonial struggles. Given the longstanding activism in favor of removing such monuments I ask, Why now? In exploring this question, I examine the circulation of images, talk, and text about the monuments in relation to the city's post-2005 political economy and find that people's expressed sentiments regarding the statues illuminate the ongoing challenges faced by New Orleans' multiracial working-class and poor residents. I argue that the city administration's framing of the monuments as emblems of an unequal past decouples the monuments' removal from the urgent need to meaningfully address present inequalities.”   “I am a Chicago-based anthropologist working with ethnography, performance, and artmaking to expand awareness of people's creative efforts to deal with the aftermath of harm and to craft hopeful futures. From coffee cultures to public memorials, my work spans kitchen cupboards, urban gardens, and city streets to record how people make meaning in their daily lives.” Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

Higgin's boats, built by New Orleanians and used during World War II, and particularly in the D-Day Invasion of Normandy, prompted Dwight D. Eisenhower to say, "Andrew Higgins...is the man who won the war for us...If Higgins had not designed and built those LCVPs, we never could have landed over an open beach.

PART 1 of Amy's chat with Camille Alston is about 'How I Built This' - Camille made other people's dreams come true in the music industry for 15 years (managing artists like Kelsea Ballerini & Brett Eldredge) and then she stepped away from her career to follow a passion for classic & witty gender-neutral style. In 2020 she founded N.B. GOODS and people are loving her nostalgia-driven brand that specializes in accessories, apparel, and gifts in Nashville, TN. Her story will encourage you to also chase your dreams & remind you that nobody knows what they're doing.....we're all just figuring it out as we go! FUN FACT: Camille and Amy were on 'Building Roots' together (season 2, episode 2) when Amy's sister and her husband brought their show to Nashville. If you missed the night it aired on HGTV the episode is called 'A River Runs Through It' and you can stream it on HBO MAX. PART 2 This will air next week and will focus less on business and more on Camille's personal life (specifically, the loss of her father and how he's very much still with her, guiding her in spirit.) It will air next Thursday. Such a good chat. You won't want to miss it.  HOST: Amy Brown // RadioAmy.com // @RadioAmy GUEST: Camille Alston // @shopNBgoods // shopNBgoods.com hello@shopnbgoods.com725 Porter RoadNashville Tennessee37206 United StatesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Country Music artist Frank Ray joins Rooted Recovery Stories with Patrick Custer this week to discuss his improbable and tumultuous path into the country music scene, the intense trauma and moral complexities he encountered as a police officer of over 10 years, fulfilling childhood dreams and the release of his major debut album. Frank Ray is a former police officer, Texas chart-topper, and bilingual recording artist opening doors for a modern Latino Country movement. Growing up both enriched in his Mexican culture, three miles from the border in New Mexico and surrounded by Country music in Texas, Frank was immersed in the best of both worlds and has been harmonizing the two since. Described as “easygoing contemporary Country with pop-soul hooks and a dash of Southwestern spice” (Rolling Stone) Frank's music is a blend-drawing influences from '90s Texas Country, Latin, R&B and Pop. As an entertainer, Frank delivers engaging, high-energy performances that have a little something for everyone. It's with this cross-cultural appeal and his panorama of influences that the Los Angeles Times proclaims Ray “is looking to stretch Country music's cultural boundaries.” In the three short years since embarking on his musical journey full-time, he has racked up two No. 1 singles and three Top ten singles on Texas Country Radio, become a staff songwriter, landed Frank Rogers as his producer, signed a record deal with BBR Music Group/Stoney Creek Records and much more. In addition to being named an “Artist to Watch” by Rolling Stone, Ray has appeared on USA Network's Real Country, been profiled in the Los Angeles Times and on NBC's TODAY. He has also toured the nation and shared stages in support of artists like Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Brett Eldredge, Luke Bryan, Kip Moore, LANCO, Old Dominion, Hunter Hayes, and more. Frank Ray's EP "Getcha Some" is out now! We would love to hear from you!

Karina had an absolute blast talking to one of her favorite country stars, Tyler Rich!! Listen in as they talk dogs, Disney, life on the tour bus, and everything in between. Authority Magazine Article: https://medium.com/authority-magazine/meet-nashvilles-rising-stars-tyler-rich-56afc4fab749 Raised in Northern California, Tyler Rich found his love of music gathered around a Christmas tree alongside family singing holiday classics and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Fast forward to graduating college with a degree in Economics, Tyler moved to LA to pursue a different game of numbers — music — exploring various genres with songwriting and bands before taking the leap as a solo artist. His fanbase has grown organically from Sacramento to Nashville where in 2017 he signed a record deal with The Valory Music Co. and a publishing agreement with Big Machine Music. While introducing his amplified sound and infectious energy coast to coast, the 2018 CMT Listen Up and 2019 Pandora Artist has toured with Brett Young, Justin Moore, LANCO, and Dustin Lynch, plus shared bills alongside Sam Hunt, Brett Eldredge, Cole Swindell, Dan + Shay and more. Enlisting Tyler as one of their “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know, Rolling Stone touts him as “the newest member of country music's radio-minded incoming class, with a homecoming king's swagger and a valedictorian's songwriting smarts.” SiriusXM chart-toppers GOLD-certified single “The Difference” and “Leave Her Wild” set the tone for his debut album TWO THOUSAND MILES, a reference to the distance between Los Angeles and Nashville as both he and his wife, actress Sabina Gadecki chased their dreams and embraced a bi-coastal relationship before officially settling in Tennessee. While inspiration has been specific, the collection reflects feelings all people have in common — the need for acceptance, devotion, and places to call their own. Tyler connected virtually, recording the aptly-titled “Feels Like Home,” from a makeshift home studio as musicians added parts from their respective spaces and finding an overwhelming response of 3 million+ views on TikTok with a demo of “Better Than You're Used To.” His latest single has now amassed over 28M+ global streams to date and reminds others to remember your value. His empathetic spirit extends to animals too with Rich Rescues, an initiative he began while on tour to raise awareness for pet adoption. In addition to joining Chris Lane on the road, Tyler brought his own TWO THOUSAND (MORE) MILES TOUR nationwide. Visit TylerRich.com for dates or follow on Instagram and TikTok.
