Food is not content. It's memory. It's identity. It's standards. Leigh Wilson, Marketing Director of Creative Loafing in Tampa Bay, grew up in a small Cajun bayou town in South Louisiana where everything happened in the kitchen. The family hunted. They grew their own food. Decisions were made at the table. When you grow up ten minutes from the water, you understand that food is not a trend. It's survival. It's culture. It's truth. Now she helps shape how an entire region talks about restaurants, chefs, and hospitality. What gets covered. What gets promoted. What earns attention. In studio, Chef Michael Collantes, one Michelin star, brings a different level of accountability. Precision. Discipline. Standards that don't bend. When you cook at that level, hype doesn't matter. Execution does. This conversation pulls back the curtain on: • Cajun roots and kitchen culture • The responsibility of food media • The difference between hype and honesty • The turnover and volatility inside hospitality • What Tampa Bay is getting right • What needs to be better It also marks the beginning of a deeper collaboration between Creative Loafing and Walk-In Talk Media, aligning editorial reach with documentary-driven storytelling to elevate the people who truly move the industry forward. This isn't about influencers. It's about standards. It's about substance. Welcome to the conversation.

Du Panama à Paris, en passant par l'Arizona (où Harry...) ; 3 artistes, un solo guitare-voix et un duo accordéon/sax-clarinette, grand choix ! Notre 1ère invitée est Michelle Blades pour Where To ? Artiste aux multiples facettes, Michelle Blades revient avec 'You're The Mother, You're The Man', morceau d'ouverture et premier extrait de son nouvel album Where To? à paraitre l'année prochaine. À la fois intime et universelle, cette chanson compte parmi les plus anciennes du disque. Elle a été écrite en 2018 à Mexico, bien avant que le reste de l'album ne prenne forme en 2023. Née d'un souvenir d'enfance et d'une réflexion sur le rôle de parent solitaire, 'You're The Mother, You're The Man' s'est d'abord imposée comme un mantra poétique adressé à la mère de l'artiste, elle aussi née au Mexique. Musicalement, l'écriture s'est nourrie de deux influences majeures : l'expérimentation des silences comme éléments rythmiques mais aussi l'inspiration de Book of Days de Meredith Monk, dont l'approche vocale et spatiale a profondément marqué Michelle Blades depuis son arrivée en Arizona en 2010. Réinterprétée au moment de l'enregistrement de Where To?, la chanson a pris corps à La Bergerie, dans le sud de la France, au cours de neuf jours d'hiver. Entourée d'Emmanuel Mario (alias Astrobal), Nina Savary, Gaétan Nonchalant et Vincent Guyot, Michelle Blades a enregistré guitare et voix. Gaétan Nonchalant y a ajouté des touches de Rhodes, brisant le caractère répétitif du mantra pour y glisser des éclats de mémoire. Des couches vocales sont ensuite venues s'entrelacer, créant un équilibre subtil entre densité et dépouillement. Le clip, réalisé par Ilan Zerrouki, accompagne ce morceau fondateur. Née au Panama dans une famille de musiciens, Michelle Blades a grandi aux États-Unis avant de développer une esthétique unique, entre expérimentation et sensibilité pop. Après ses débuts DIY en Arizona, elle s'installe à Paris et collabore durant dix ans avec Midnight Special Records, publiant notamment les albums Ataraxia (2015), Premature Love Songs (2017) et Visitor (2019) et l'EP Nombrar las cosas (2020). Exploratrice musicale, elle multiplie aussi les collaborations : bassiste aux côtés de Pomme en tournée, arrangeuse sur le dernier album de Flavien Berger (Plouf!), membre du groupe éphémère La Brume, ou encore chanteuse au sein de La Femme, avec qui elle a parcouru le monde. Avec 'You're The Mother, You're The Man', Michelle Blades ouvre une nouvelle page de son univers artistique, entre héritage personnel, recherche sonore et désir de transmission. Titres interprétés au grand studio : - Dear Friend Live RFI  - You're the mother, You're the man ? extrait CD - I Missed the Dance Live RFI. Line Up : Michelle Blades (guitare, voix) Son : Benoît Letirant, Mathias Taylor. ► Album Where To ? (Escargot Musique / IDOL 2026). Instagram - YouTube.   Puis nous recevons Robin Fincker et Janick Martin pour la sortie de Vison Visu. « Les deux hommes s'assirent vison-visu. Pierrot eut vaguement l'impression d'avoir déjà rencontré ce type-là quelque part. » Raymond Queneau, Pierrot, 1942 Face à face intime et interpellant, Vison Visu réunit l'accordéoniste breton Janick Martin, figure d'une génération de musiciens issus des musiques traditionnelles dont ils réécrivent sans cesse les contours et le saxophoniste et clarinettiste Robin Fincker évoluant depuis une vingtaine d'années sur les scènes de jazz contemporain et musiques improvisées européennes. Musiciens avides de mélodies, fascinés par la formule magique qu'elles peuvent contenir, Vison Visu aspire les airs en profondeur, qu'ils soient d'aujourd'hui ou d'un autre âge, et en déjoue les phrasés conventionnels. Jouant de fractures et de mélismes, de danses et d'improvisations, le duo aux timbres sonnants échange avec passion et intensité. Les deux musiciens se sont rencontrés au sein du quintet Finis Terrae du violoncelliste Vincent Courtois avec lequel Robin Fincker collabore depuis de nombreuses années et ont très rapidement noué une complicité évidente. Suite à une invitation du festival de Jazz à Dissay ils ont élaboré un répertoire faisant cohabiter les compositions originales du duo avec des mélodies venues de Bretagne, d'Ecosse ou du pays Cajun. Véritable croisement des langages traditionnels et contemporains, le duo tisse ainsi un récit où le jeu et la spontanéité se nourrissent de ces mélodies simples au fort pouvoir évocateur. Grâce au soutien du producteur de musique contemporaine Marc Thouvenot (fondateur du label Quicatl), du collectif Le Grand Pas et du studio La Buissonne, le duo s'est vu proposer l'opportunité d'enregistrer son répertoire de manière directe et sans artifices. Installés dans la grande salle du studio, les pièces ont été enregistrées sans coupures, d'un seul jet et en quelques prises seulement permettant au duo de laisser libre cours à son goût de l'imprévu et de la recherche sonore. Mixé par Gérard de Haro et masterisé par Nicolas Baillard à la Buissonne, Vison Visu laisse entendre dans sa musique une expression non-linéaire du passage du temps, faite d'allers-retours de cycles et de jeux de mémoires où le plaisir du jeu et de la narration prévaut sur tout plan préétabli. Titres interprétés au grand studio : - Vison Visu Live RFI - Écoutez la plaisante histoire, extrait de l'album - Al Lann Melen Live RFI. Line Up : Janick Martin (accordéon) et Robin Fincker (sax, clarinette). Son : Benoît Letirant, Mathias Taylor. ► Album Vison Visu (Le Grand Pas / L'Autre Distribution 2025). Instagram.

Some businesses don’t just sell a product — they sell a feeling. They create an experience you can’t fully describe on a website, because the magic is sensory. It’s atmosphere. It’s memory. It’s the thing that makes you walk into a space and instantly feel like you belong there — or like you’ve been there before. From a business standpoint, that’s a tricky thing to build. You can’t ship “vibe” in a box. But you can design it — intentionally — through the details: the ingredients, the storytelling, the setting, the community you build around it. Johanna Divine sits in for Christiaan Mader on this edition of Out to Lunch and hosts two guests who make their living creating experiences that are hard to explain, but easy to feel. Rochelle Campbell is the founder of Pure Intentions Candle Company, a small candle business based in Youngsville specializing in clean-burning candles — and candle-making experiences that are part product, part party, part community event. Yvette Landry is a musician, educator, author and interpreter, who – between playing shows, teaching and writing books – has also built a successful business hosting Cajun music and history tours in the Atchafalaya Basin. Candles and music are two very different products, but both Rochelle and Yvette are in the business of creating a feeling people want to come back to. Rochelle is building a product line around clean ingredients, seasonal storytelling, and in-person experiences that connect people to her brand. Yvette is proving that culture can be both art and enterprise — through live performance, books, teaching, and tours that translate Acadiana to the world. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Tsunami Sushi in downtown Lafayette.You can find photos from this show by Alisha Zachery Lazard at itsacadiana.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

News of this week’s passing of former University of Southwestern Louisiana (now UL-Lafayette) basketball star Dwight “Bo” Lamar sparked a lot of memories.  Lamar was 74 and passed away at a nursing home in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio. College basketball in Louisiana when Lamar played during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s was filled with dominant scorers and very little defense.  The word “defense” seemed to have been banned during this period. Explosive offense had become the name of the game. This brief period was defined by expert marksmanship and crowd-pleasing showmanship.  The high scoring antics of college basketball players like LSU’s “Pistol” Pete Maravich and the University of Houston’s “Big E” Elvin Hayes (born in Rayville, Louisiana) captured the imagination of fans. Less than an hour west of Pistol Pete Maravich and LSU, Bo Lamar and the USL Ragin’ Cajuns were entertaining fans in front of packed basketball arenas, too. Lamar was a virtual basketball scoring machine for the Ragin’ Cajuns from 1969-1973.  He averaged 31.2 points per game over his entire four-year college basketball career.  A first-team All-American as a senior, he was joined on that squad by future basketball Hall-of-Famers Bill Walton of UCLA and David Thompson of North Carolina State. The 6’2” Bo Lamar had one of the best jump shots I have ever seen. He elevated off the floor with ease and then lofted up a high arcing shot from long-distance.  This came nearly 20 years before college basketball would adopt the three-point shot.  He would have averaged over 40 points per game with today’s three-point line. Bo Lamar glided down the basketball court with ease in leading USL’s frantic fast breaks.  He bombed-in a school-record 62 points during a game against Northeast Louisiana University (now UL-Monroe). Scoreboards routinely registered more than 100 points during Ragin’ Cajun basketball games in this era. A 1984 Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Fame inductee, Bo Lamar opted to play professional basketball for the ABA’s San Diego Conquistadors in 1973.  He scored 50 points in one game during his rookie year while averaging nearly 21 points per game. After several years in the pro ranks, Lamar later became part of the radio broadcast team for Ragin’ Cajuns basketball games. Mike Green at Louisiana Tech became one of Bo Lamar’s biggest foes If you have watched current NBA star Kevin Durant of the Houston Rockets, he looks and plays like a modern version of former Louisiana Tech basketball star, Mike Green.  The 6’10” Green played for the Bulldogs from 1969-1974. Mike Green was listed as a center but possessed an incredible outside shooting touch to stretch the opposing defenses. Like Bo Lamar at USL, Green was a prolific college basketball scorer.  He averaged 31 points per game as a senior at Louisiana Tech.  Add a 15.4 rebounds per game career average, and you understand why Mike Green earned the AP’s Small College Player of the Year award in 1973. He was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Fame in 1996. A friend of mine attended Louisiana Tech in 1971 during the Mike Green basketball era. He recalled a highly anticipated home game against high-scoring Bo Lamar and the nationally ranked Ragin’ Cajuns.  Fans lined up for hours hoping to gain entrance to watch this game.  Mike Green scored 22 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, and blocked numerous shots as the Bulldogs raced to 103-94 win at Tech’s Memorial Gymnasium. Future Louisiana Tech Hall-of-Fame women’s basketball coach Leon Barmore also witnessed that encounter.  He recalled, “It was the greatest game ever at Louisiana Tech – bar none!” While he was a sophomore, Mike Green’s Louisiana Tech team averaged 101 points per game for the entire season. Defense?  What defense? Mike Green passed away in 2018 at the age of 67. Time to celebrate Centenary College center Robert Parish! Shreveport’s 7’1” center Robert Parish took Louisiana’s top college basketball player baton from Bo Lamar and Mike Green during the early 1970’s. Robert Parish played high school basketball in the late 1960’s during a difficult time when federal integration mandates forced some schools to close.  Parish and his fellow Union High School students suddenly found themselves being bussed to nearby Woodlawn High School. Though this period caused angst for both students and teachers, Woodlawn’s basketball team morphed into a state powerhouse with the addition of talented center Robert Parish. He led Shreveport’s Woodlawn High School to the Class 4A state basketball title as a senior in 1972.  Parish was named a national high school All-American. To the dismay of national college recruiters, Robert Parish chose to stay in Shreveport and attend Centenary College.  As a freshman, Parish lined-up to play in one game against Louisiana Tech’s talented senior big man Mike Green. Green dazzled the crowd by scoring 40 points on the young Robert Parish. Robert Parish continued to work and improve his game every year.  He collected a school record 33 rebounds in one game.  Parish’ gifted shooting touch produced 25 points per game for Centenary.  His dominant offensive and defensive play as a senior led to a first-team college basketball All-America selection. Parish became a first round draft choice of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors. Traded four years later to the Boston Celtics, Robert Parish (along with Larry Bird and Kevin McHale) won three NBA titles and played 21 seasons in the NBA.  Parish was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Naismith Basketball Hall-of-Fame in 2003. Have you heard of Olympic gold medal winner Glynn Saulters? Today’s story about talented Louisiana college basketball stars of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s wouldn’t be complete without mentioning an Olympic gold medal winner. In the year 1968, Northeast Louisiana University (now ULM) basketball star Grady Glynn Saulters was nearly invisible on the national college basketball stage. The Lisbon, Louisiana native didn’t possess the blazing court speed of Southwestern Louisiana’s Bo Lamar or the shot-blocking skills of Louisiana Tech’s Mike Green. Oh, but Glynn Saulters could shoot a basketball with the best of them. He became a prolific college scorer. Saulters averaged a nifty 31 points per game as a senior in 1968 to lead the Gulf States Conference in scoring.  Not too shabby. The Olympics games were being held in Mexico City a few months following Saulters’ senior season.  The year 1968 was an extremely politically charged period as Dr. Martin Luther King and presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy were assassinated.  Several top college basketball players such as Lew Alcindor and Elvin Hayes decided not to even try-out for the US Olympic team in 1968. That opened the door for NLU’s 6’2” guard Glynn Saulters to qualify for the Olympic basketball team. His competition included stars like high-scoring Pistol Pete Maravich of LSU and Niagara guard Calvin Murphy.  Surprisingly, neither Maravich nor Murphy made the final cut.  Ditto for Kentucky’s Dan Issel and Purdue sharpshooter Rick Mount. But Glynn Saulters from tiny Class “C” Lisbon High School in north Louisiana made the US team. Legendary college basketball coach Hank Iba’s “No Name” US Olympic basketball squad was comprised of several small college role players and just a few top college stars. Future NBA Hall-of-Fame forward Spencer Haywood and guard JoJo White led the US team in scoring.  Glynn Saulters and the US Olympic team went a perfect 9-0 in Mexico City to bring home the gold medal. Glynn Saulters was inducted into the ULM Sports Hall-of-Fame in 1978 and into the Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Fame in 1981. Don’t forget “AJ from the Parking Lot!” New Orleans’ Cohen High School basketball player Aaron James journeyed northward from the Crescent City to Grambling State University to begin a memorable college basketball career.  The 6’8” sharpshooting forward poured in more than 32 points per game as a senior at Grambling to become the Southwestern Athletic Conference Player of the Year in ’73-74.  He earned the nickname “AJ from the Parking Lot” for his uncanny accuracy on long-distance shots.  Aaron James was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2012. Minden and Webster High School product Louis “Sweet Lou” Dunbar was another prolific high school scoring sensation.  This 6’9” big man also possessed a sweet jump shot.  Dunbar received numerous college scholarship offers and left his home state to play for the University of Houston in the early 1970’s.  He averaged 22 points and eight rebounds over his career with the Cougars. Louis Dunbar would join the Harlem Globetrotters and play for the next 27 years!  “Sweet Lou” is one of only eight Globetrotters to have his jersey (#41) retired.  Dunbar was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2020.   Let’s not forget Shreveport Valencia High School basketball star Roosevelt Fuller.  This silky-smooth high-scoring guard torched the nets for 64 points in a Shreveport high school basketball game in the late 1960’s.  Fuller averaged an incredible 44 points per game one season at Valencia High. He played college hoops from 1970-1972 at Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, TX. He still holds the school scoring record of 53 points and posted a 28 points per game average as a sophomore.  Roosevelt Fuller was inducted into the Trinity Valley Sports Hall of Fame in 2025. No, it wasn’t just Pistol Pete Maravich exciting Louisiana’s basketball fans during the late 1960’s into the early 70’s. This week’s passing of Dwight “Bo” Lamar served as a reminder of just how special his era of basketball was in the Pelican State.

From Cajun Country to the French Riviera: Louisiana Meets France takes you on a lively, honest, and sometimes surprising journey through France with Annie Sargent and her guests, Renee Poche and Dixie Poche, a mother-daughter duo from Cajun Country in Louisiana. Listen to this episode ad-free This episode explores what happens when Cajun French culture meets modern France. Renee and Dixie share stories from their first trip together to Nice, Paris, Reims, and small towns along the way. They talk about expectations versus reality. They compare food, daily rhythms, and cultural habits. They reflect on what feels familiar and what feels very different. You'll hear about staying in a former convent in Nice. Walking the Old Town. Riding elevators up cliffs. Watching the noon cannon fire. There's champagne tasting in the Champagne region, with honest opinions about Reims versus Épernay. There's Versailles, with practical advice on timing and energy levels. There's Paris, explored slowly, on foot, with cafés, cemeteries, shopping, and a night at the Moulin Rouge. Food plays a big role in this conversation. Annie, Renee, and Dixie compare Cajun boudin and French andouille. They talk about sauces, spices, portions, and meal times. They also discuss how French fashion, walking culture, and city layouts influence how visitors experience France. This episode is about more than an itinerary. It's about traveling together. It's about mother-daughter dynamics on the road. It's about noticing small details. It's about how shared French roots can feel both close and distant at the same time. If you're curious about Cajun French culture Louisiana vs France, planning a first trip, or thinking about traveling with family, this episode will resonate.

There’s an old saying you’ve probably heard before: Those who can’t do, teach. Well, that’s total BS. If you’ve ever tried to teach someone anything — how to play a guitar chord, how to dance a two-step, how to do just about anything — you know that saying has it exactly backwards. Teaching is hard. Being good at something and being able to teach it are two completely different skills. When it comes to traditional crafts, teaching is maybe the more vital skillset. If we’re going to preserve what we do for generations to come, we need folks skilled at passing it on. Sometimes, when there’s no one around to turn to, you need to be an autodidact, like Garret Rosen, owner of Rosen Guitars. Garret is a Lafayette native whose path to guitar building and teaching took a few interesting turns — including degrees in English literature, music theory, and a master’s from Oxford University in philosophy, politics and economics. After years teaching history, Garret opened Rosen Guitars in 2025 — a shop where every instrument is handmade by him. The business combines custom guitar building, original inventory, and lessons for players from beginners to professionals. His goal isn’t to be a big-box music store. It’s something much more personal — the person who builds the instrument is the one who teaches you how to play it. Harold Bernard is the owner of Glide Dance Studios in downtown Lafayette. Harold has been teaching dance since 1985, but his relationship with dance goes back even further: his mother was dancing the jitterbug while pregnant with him. He grew up in the golden era of Cajun dance halls, later touring across the U.S. and Canada teaching dance alongside bands like Balfa Toujours and Steve Riley. Today, at Glide Studios, Harold teaches Cajun, Zydeco, jitterbug, waltz — and even wedding choreography. He teaches almost every night of the week, often working with couples or small groups, and relies almost entirely on word of mouth. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Tsunami Sushi in downtown Lafayette.You can find photos from this show by Alisha Zachery Lazard at itsacadiana.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We start by discussing the National guardsman who forgot his M4 in a hotel bathroom in New Orleans... every veteran just felt that. We then shift to El Paso where the FAA shut down nthe airspace for some pretty peculiar reasons. Next we go to Australia where the 6th of a group of satanic pedophiles has been arested. Back to America where one of the leaders of the Benghazi attack was "extradited" by US forces, to America to stand trial. Speaking of international relations NATO has agreed to shift 2 command positions to European leaders. Kier Starmer is facing mounting pressure to resign after the connections have been made between an ambassador he appointed and Jeffrey Epstein. We then discuss how Pam Bondi is floundering while being questioned by the House Judiciary Committee... it's not a good look. Then we talk about the armored car robbery that took p[lace in Italy this week. And we finish with the Ring camera commercial that just played during the super bowl and what that might imply for our future.To join in the conversation next week come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

It's one of our favorite episodes of the year when we welcome in Kendall Roger's to discuss the upcoming 2026 Cajuns team.

In this episode, the journey takes a dramatic turn as Brian's podcasting career reaches new heights and dangerous new lows. What begins as a powerful collection of witness encounters from across the country — a conservation officer in Minnesota's Boundary Waters, a Mississippi fisherman on the Big Black River, a West Virginia coal miner who found something living deep underground, and a Cajun folk healer who speaks of the loup-garou with reverence rather than fear — quickly evolves into something far more consequential.A television producer named Amanda from Meridian Productions returns with an offer to bring Sasquatch Odyssey to the screen as a legitimate documentary series. Brian agrees, but only on his terms: editorial control, no sensationalism, and absolute respect for the witnesses. The production takes the team from the Olympic Peninsula to the Ozarks and back to the Pisgah National Forest, where the mystery of Austin Reeves still lingers in every shadow and hollow.But the closer Brian gets to the truth, the harder certain forces push back. A devastating act of arson destroys his home, his studio, and nearly everything he and Daniel have built together. The local investigation is a sham, but an ATF agent named Sarah Brown finds evidence of professional-grade incendiary devices and a cover-up that reaches far above her pay grade.Rather than retreat, Brian and Daniel rebuild — bigger, stronger, and more determined than ever.The episode also explores the emotional toll of this work through quieter moments: the frustration of sorting genuine encounters from fabrications, the patience required to find voices like eighty-two-year-old Lucille Marsh from rural Georgia, and the steady, grounding presence of Daniel through it all.From Wisconsin dairy farms to Nebraska sandhills, witnesses from the American heartland reveal that these creatures aren't just hiding in remote wilderness — they've adapted to live alongside us in the margins, watching from the edges of our everyday world.The documentary airs, reaches millions, and ignites a national conversation. The community grows. The threats continue. And the odyssey pushes forward, one story at a time.

This is going to be a fun, laid back episode as the boys get together to discuss all things UL. We chat about the transfer portal, Walker going to Ole Miss, our NIL situation, and give our take on what our ideal UL Athletic Department would look like. It's an open dialogue about ALL things Cajun!

LW Nixon of Cajun Lights-Cajun Outdoors is headed to the Winter Classic in Batesville, Mississippi. LW and Chris catch up and discuss the upcoming Winter Classic, hunting the Great Dismal Swamp and coastal North Carolina. As Houndsmen we often overlook great historical land masses that are so crucial to our heritage and future as hunters. Folks from Coastal Carolina and eastern Virginia certainly know about the Great Dismal Swamp and its history. LW and Chris discuss this historical wild land of the coast. Chris and LW also talk some product and service topics that will interest listeners such as what is coming from Cajun and the outdoor industry. ►Get Your Houndsman XP Info, Gear & More Here!www.HoundsmanXP.com►Become a Patron of Houndsman XP!

For at least nine months in the twelve, the people of this rare old town live out of doors nearly all the waking hours of the twenty-four. For the remaining three months of the year, December, January, and February, they delude themselves into the notion that they are having a winter, when they gather around a winter-time hearth and listen to imaginary wind-roarings in the chimney, and see through the panes fictitious and spectral snow-storms, and dream that they are housed so snug and warm. But when the day comes the sun is shining and there is no trace of white on the ground, and the grass is green and there are industrious buds breaking out of cover, and the earth is sleeping very lightly. Open-eyed, the youngsters sit by these December firesides and listen to their elders tell of the snow-storms in the long ago that came so very, very deep, when snowballs were flying in the streets, and the earth was white, and the 'banquettes,' or sidewalks, were ankle-deep in slush.

Ash's Cajun roots fuel the voice of his shows, from food and festivals to the rhythms of Gulf Coast talk. He's intentional about balancing local flavor with wider appeal, sanding just enough to travel while keeping the soul intact. And yes, we talk AI. Ash rejects the shortcut culture that treats prompts as authorship. For him, AI is a power tool: great for fake toy ads and parody promos that break the acts, never a stand-in for writing, acting, timing, or direction OR for the cartoons he creates.. he does those by hand. That ethic pairs with a strategic home base—public access TV—so he can air five nights a week, retain ownership, and iterate until the season is ready for broader platforms.https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWmXNniUqygl5WML44m6z8eiMZ3SD8sRI&si=2fjxLYNUlc5SOIsGVoiced by Brian Plaideau Have you been injured?

LSU’s athletics department released data a few weeks ago showing that Louisiana’s flagship public university raked-in more than $200 million in sports revenues over the past year.  The athletics department also spent all but $3 million of the money.  It turned a profit of $3 million. About 40 miles west of Baton Rouge, the athletics program at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette is currently fighting for survival.  The school’s athletics department recently cut 35 staff positions to trim its budget from $46 million to $42.7 million per year. Why is UL-Lafayette’s athletics program losing money? The Ragin’ Cajuns’ athletics programs have lost upwards of $5 million in each of the past few years.  Much of the shortfall can be attributed to the school’s football program. The UL-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns have fielded winning teams in four of the past six football seasons.  Local fans are quite aware that their local team had become a top competitor within the Sunbelt Conference. UL-Lafayette (like so many mid-major and smaller universities) is having trouble keeping pace with the rising costs in college athletics.  Fan support at home athletic events has not significantly increased as costs have skyrocketed. Big money support from the school’s alumni and corporate base has also failed to move the revenue needle enough to cover the increasing costs. In fact, the Ragin’ Cajuns have a lot of company in dealing with a growing phenomenon called “donor fatigue.”  It is the economic reality that most mid-major athletics programs simply cannot expect to compete for national titles with the giants of major universities. UL-Lafayette’s annual athletics budget is 25% of nearby LSU LSU’s rabid fan base fills-up 102,000 seat Tiger Stadium for most football games.  A seemingly never-ending demand exceeds the annual supply for prime seating in Baton Rouge.  LSU athletic donors are effectively bidding against themselves for better accommodations by donating more and more money into the school’s athletic funds. A quest for national championships by LSU in football, basketball (well, at least the women’s team), baseball and gymnastics has driven sports fanaticism.  LSU’s athletic supporters have (thus far) been willing to dole out incredible amounts of cash to support that drive for success.  Of course, those same donors get to retain prime seating accommodations at the school’s athletic events. The incredibly deep pockets of key athletics donors agreed to cover LSU’s massive $54 million buy-out of football coach Brian Kelly last fall. That same huge war chest of funding helped to guarantee the hiring of new coach Lane Kiffin at a price of $90 million over the next seven years. Louisiana’s second-largest public university is struggling to pay the bills UL-Lafayette has nearly 20,000 students.  It is the second largest public university in Louisiana behind only LSU (34,000 undergrads plus 7,000 graduate students). The football team for UL-Lafayette plays in the $65 million recently-renovated 30,000 seat Cajun Field. This ambitious stadium upgrade took nearly two years to complete and was put into service last fall.  The football stadium was originally constructed in 1971. The revamped Cajun Field offers better outdoor seating options, luxury boxes, and other improved aesthetics to provide a better fan experience.  Funding for this upgrade came from the school’s largest donor groups and a few key corporate sponsors. Donors were provided the opportunity to spend money for naming rights within the upgraded stadium. You could have placed your name on the stadium’s new scoreboard for $3 million. The “SwampSwamiSports.com” concession stand would have cost me a cool $250,000 to have my name on it (ha ha – good luck with that one!). You could even place your name on the stadium’s four oak trees for a pledge of $50,000. Last fall’s initial season in the Cajuns’ upgraded football stadium produced an average home attendance of 19,981 per game.  That is 2/3 of capacity.  UL-Lafayette’s game against nearby McNeese State produced the season’s largest crowd of 26,067. Ten years earlier, UL-Lafayette’s 2015 average home football attendance was 21,596 per game. In other words, the athletic support from the school’s home market seems to have remained relatively flat from year-to-year. The Ragin’ Cajuns $40 million annual athletics budget is near the bottom of the Sunbelt Conference UL-Lafayette has been a member of the Sunbelt Conference since 1991.  The league was comprised of 14 members last fall for the 2025 football season. Last year’s Ragin’ Cajuns athletics budget of more than $40 million placed it ahead of only Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Southern Miss, and in-state rival UL-Monroe ($20.9 million). The Sunbelt expanded in the year 2022 to include James Madison University and Old Dominion University in Virginia plus Marshall University in West Virginia. A road trip from Lafayette, Louisiana to each those schools requires more than 1,000 miles each way.  That means that air travel is needed for not just football but basketball, baseball, softball, and other team sports playing on the road at those destinations. One source estimated that the increase in travel costs to play the recently-added Sunbelt members added a few million dollars in transportation expenses (mostly via air) for the Ragin’ Cajuns. Should UL-Lafayette try to increase athletics revenues, cut costs, or both? Playing in the Sunbelt Conference brings both UL-Lafayette and in-state rival UL-Monroe more than $2 million apiece in media revenues from ESPN and other sources.  A departure out of the Sunbelt Conference to drop back into the FCS level would mean an immediate loss of media revenue for athletics. A very significant near-term problem for Louisiana’s mid-major football programs is the SEC’s decision to play nine conference football games beginning this fall.  Going from eight to nine SEC games leaves just three non-conference opportunities available in the football schedule for LSU and other regional SEC teams. The LSU Tigers have been quite generous in scheduling Louisiana-based teams to come play at Tiger Stadium for non-conference games in recent decades.  Those road teams generally pocket more than $1 million to become “Tiger Bait” for their three hour fall visit to Baton Rouge playing in a non-conference football game against LSU. UL-Lafayette’s Ragin’ Cajuns played only one big “money game” last fall at the SEC’s University of Missouri. In-state Sunbelt rival UL-Monroe played two payday road games in 2025 – at SEC powerhouse Alabama and at the Big Ten’s Northwestern University.  The Warhawks’ athletics war chest (half the size of UL-Lafayette) depends heavily on at least two money games per year to keep the school’s athletics budget adequately funded. SEC football teams will now have one less spot to fill in their football schedule.  That means increased competition among today’s mid-major football programs seeking for the chance to land one or two payday games every season. This will likely to drive the monetary guarantees for these games down in the years to come. LSU Director of Athletics Verge Ausberry will have even more football teams knocking on his door to fill future non-conference games in Baton Rouge.  Those paydays are likely to decrease for Louisiana’s current Sunbelt Conference members such as UL-Lafayette and UL-Monroe. Do students want to pay additional fees to help cover the growing costs of athletics? UL-Lafayette’s last increase in annual student fees dedicated to cover athletics came about 20 years ago.  It added just $10 per semester per student. Sunbelt member James Madison University (21,000 students) is similar in size to UL-Lafayette.  The Virginia-based school charges students a whopping $2,456 (correct) per academic year to pay for college athletics. This provides JMU with $50 million directly from students – whether they attend sporting events or not. Even UL-Monroe passed an increase in student fees dedicated to athletics from $20 to $75 per year beginning in 2025.  It will add about $600,000 annually to the Warhawks athletics budget. Getting UL-Lafayette’s students to kick-in additional cash for athletics may be a hard sell.  Don’t go looking-up many of the school’s primary athletics donors, either.  They are proudly pointing at the Ragin’ Cajuns’ $65 million renovated football stadium as proof of their recent philanthropy. What is happening at UL-Lafayette is not unique.  It is occurring all across the country as many universities struggle to determine if they should remain playing in the upper tier of college athletics. The rising costs necessary to sustain expensive college athletic programs are causing university administrators to (finally) take a much harder look at the economic realities. Many college athletics programs are currently on life-support. Who’s next? The post UL-Lafayette cuts 25% of Athletics Staff after Revenue Shortfalls appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Ducks. Food. Hunting. More food. Friendships. Family. Traditions. And open doors. That's what cajun hospitality is all about. Big John Hebert and I wrap a 3- or 4-day duck hunting tour of his homeland with a conversation covering all of it---the local lay of the land, a never quit mentality but why marsh hunting is a young man's game, the perfect gumbo trio to include his dad's famous "grassy gumbo," sweet potato versus potato salad sides, making family-recipe hoghead cheese, labeling ducks simply as "northerns", why naming blue-winged teal "god's birds" fits local culture, local call makers and early influences, and how some things have changed--but some things never, ever will--and more.

Today we're putting The Tonearm's needle on pianist and composer Noah Franche-Nolan.Noah's latest album, Rose-Anna, is named after his Acadian great-grandmother, a church organist from Grand Falls, New Brunswick. The Acadians are French-speaking people with deep roots in Canada's Maritime provinces. The Acadians were expelled from their land by the British in the late 1700s and many of them migrated south to Louisiana where they became known by their more famous name, the Cajuns. Noah's family connection runs deep through the record and he even plays organ on two tracks, honoring the woman who sparked his musical heritage.The album pairs him with bassist Jodi Proznick and drummer Nicholas Bracewell in a trio that displays deftness with groove-driven chops, tender hymns and free exploration. The music conjures thoughts of home, family, and what gets passed down through generations.Noah's also one half of Arid Landscapes, an ambient electroacoustic project with guitarist Dan Pitt, that takes a totally different approach—live looping, processing, and soundscapes that feel vast and open. My November 2024 talk with Dan for The Tonearm is linked in the show notes.Noah and I talk about both projects, his work as a church music director in Vancouver, and what it means to make music that honors the past while pushing into new territory.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Noah Franche-Nolan's album Rose-Anna)–Dig Deeper• Artist and Albums:Visit Noah Franche-Nolan at noahfranche-nolanmusic.com and follow him on InstagramPurchase Noah Franche-Nolan's Rose-Anna from Bandcamp or Qobuz and listen on your streaming platform of choiceNoah Franche-Nolan on All About JazzVancouver Guardian profile• Arid Landscapes (duo with Dan Pitt):Arid Landscapes released September 2025, available on BandcampDan Pitt — official siteDan Pitt on BandcampBetween the Lines of Dan Pitt's 'Horizontal Depths' (The Tonearm)• Collaborators and Ensembles:Jodi Proznick — bassist, Noah Franche-Nolan TrioNicholas Bracewell — drummer, Noah Franche-Nolan TrioRaagaverse — JUNO-nominated Indo-jazz fusion quartet led by Shruti RamaniShruti Ramani — vocalist and bandleader, RaagaverseJaya (Raagaverse debut album) on BandcampNick Fraser — Toronto drummer and University of Toronto faculty; Noah's former teacher• Recording Labels:Cellar Music Group — Vancouver label founded by Cory Weeds; 2023 Grammy Award winnerCory Weeds — Cellar Music Group founder and artistic directorFrankie's Jazz Club — Vancouver jazz venue run by Cory Weeds (Rose-Anna release show venue)• Film Scoring:Häxan (1922) — Swedish-Danish silent horror essay film directed by Benjamin ChristensenThe Cinematheque — Vancouver independent film institute that commissioned Noah's live score for Häxan• Educational Institutions:Vancouver Community College (VCC) — where Noah teaches jazz pianoVSO School of Music — Vancouver Symphony Orchestra's school; Noah teaches in Jazz and Classical Theory/CompositionUniversity of Toronto, Faculty of Music — where Noah and Dan Pitt studied jazz• Venues and Spaces:The Tranzac — Toronto's not-for-profit community arts venue; central to the city's improvised music sceneBrentwood Presbyterian Church — Burnaby; where Noah serves as coordinator of musicking and where Arid Landscapes was partly recorded–Dig into this episode's complete show notes at podcast.thetonearm.com–• Did you enjoy this episode?

A new strain of cryptozoology is howling across the internet. It's less about stuff like “undiscovered birds” and more like “Bigfoot is interdimensional.” This week, we are joined by guest writer Jack LaRoche follow that trail straight into Louisiana's swampy heartland to meet the Rougarou: a Cajun loup-garou legend shaped by Catholic ideas about sin and control, then transformed through centuries of cultural mixing into something that's been feared, joked about, and even embraced as a local mascot. Along the way, we rewind to medieval France to untangle where “werewolves” actually come from, detour through the shaky math and moral panic of the werewolf trials, and trace how the Acadian diaspora and Indigenous storytelling traditions helped remake the monster on American soil. It's sometimes a trickster, sometimes a warning, sometimes protection. We end by asking what these stories do: how folklore polices behavior, manufactures outsiders, and rhymes with modern conspiracist fearcraft.
