Liam and Cal aboutta make a name for themselves here as they take a trip around the multiverse to visit a Cajun version of Killer Croc in a review of The Batman's season two episode entitled "Swamped." Killer Croc takes a page out of the No Man's Land/Matt Reeves' The Batman playbook in looking to turn Gotham City into his own personal flood zone, and Batman must work to stop a much more physically formidable opponent. The hosts discuss a rather straightforward plot, some fun visuals include a very different looking Croc than what the DCAU did, why Batman hates pet crocodiles, and Ron Perlman doing a Cajun accent. All of this and a preview of next month's theme celebrating the Girl of Steel's return to the big screen on this week's DCAU Review Elseworld's review!Please Consider Supporting the Podcast:Become a monthly or one time supporter of the pod at https://buymeacoffee.com/DCAUReviewSubscribe to the pod on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and please consider leaving us a 5-star reviewSubscribe to our new YouTube Channel Support the pod by picking up some merch at our shop https://dcaureview.myspreadshop.comFollow us: Twitter/X @DCAUReview Instagram @DCAUReviewFinal Scores:Plot: Cal: 5/10 – Liam: 5/10Visuals/Animation: Cal: 7/10 – Liam: 7/10Music: Cal: 6/10 – Liam: 5/10Voice Acting: Cal: 7/10 – Liam: 6/10 Bonus Point: NoneFinal Tally: Cal: 25/40 – Liam: 23/40

In the mid-1700s the Acadian people had been settled in the Nova Scotia region of Canada for over 100 years. When the area was transferred to the British, it was encouraged that the Acadian people take an oath of allegiance to the Crown. While many battles and political moments contributed, which is encouraged for everyone to research, the unrest in the area lead to the British forcibly removing the Acadian people from their homes and lands, causing many to be deported and made to settle elsewhere. It is do to this moment - or The Great Upheaval – that Louisiana now has the Acadiana region and the vast number of Cajun descendants. One person that can trace their roots to Nova Scotia is writer Marianne Sulser. Marianne has written a book titled “Like Snow Before Sun,” which takes a fictional approach to this time period, and a look into some real-life moments of the people that lived it. This week Marianne chats with me about her book and why she wanted to tell this story .

Saturday's election results came as a shock to some amid rumors of voter discrepancies in the closed primaries. Some analysts view the results as a major pushback against Gov. Jeff Landry, whose five amendments were all rejected. Capitol Access reporter Brooke Thorington joins us with more.In the Spring of 1960, Black residents boycotted stores along one of New Orleans' busiest shopping stretches to send a message. They refused to shop at businesses on Dryades Street that took Black dollars but refused to hire Black workers.This story from the local Civil Rights Movement is recounted as part of the Historic New Orleans Collection exhibition, “The Trail They Blazed.” Exhibit curator Eric Seiferth joins us for more.In honor of America's 250th birthday, the Smithsonian is collaborating with 40 festivals across the country between March and November that highlight different U.S. subcultures on how they celebrate community, cultural exchange and civic engagement.One of the featured festivals will be Louisiana's very own Festivals Acadiens et Créoles, which returns this October 9-11.

In this episode, "Robots, Werewolves, and Wonder: Picture Books that Celebrate Imagination and Culture," Jed welcomes two sets of brilliant guests who show just how magical—and meaningful—picture books can be. First, author Jose Lourenco and illustrator James Braithwaite join us from Toronto to celebrate their best-selling debut picture book, Billie Builds a Robocorn. Jose explains that Billie, a kid navigating a move and new school, builds a homemade robotic unicorn—"Robocorn"—to ease her loneliness. James shares how their early idea started as a bedtime book and evolved into a richer introduction to Billie's world, shaped by a larger creative team. They talk about designing a robot that kids could actually build from household items, their unusual author–illustrator partnership, and the long collaborative journey from shared studio space and BLT-fueled brainstorming sessions all the way to the Bologna Children's Book Fair. Then we travel to the Louisiana bayou with Johnette Downing, musician, storyteller, and author of My Parrain is the Loup Garou. Johnette reimagines the traditionally scary Cajun werewolf (the loup garou) as part of a loving, adventurous bond between a boy and his godfather. She talks about turning fear into fun, preserving Cajun folklore, and blending music and story—many of her books are singable, and this one even has its own song on her new Zydeco album. Johnette also shares stories from performing for children on five continents and why seeing the world through a child's eyes keeps the magic alive.
Uncle Si jumps the gun to make everybody watch a viral attack video he caught on the news, sending the boys down one of the wildest rabbit trails. Martin isn't totally buying the “official” story surrounding the attack, and Jay Stone shares what it was like meeting a bona fide Cajun outdoor legend who still hand-builds duck calls the old-school way. John-David is dead-set on fact checking today, and Si digs his heels in and decides there are certain Louisiana delicacies that just aren't for him.

Then, we dig into some 2026 updates as candidates for state level office report what they raised and spent in the last critical quarter before the primary election on June 30th. Next, even though Republicans have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the governor's race, that doesn't mean their primary is any less entertaining. We report from the cheap seats as the gloves come off for who has the privilege of losing to Phil Weiser or Michael Bennet this November, and we've got a few other down ballot updates for you as well.But first, she made the topline on the ballot through the Democratic caucus and assembly process and wants to be the one to run Colorado's gold-standard elections for the next four years after spending the last four years making Jeffco, home of the podcast, the best place to cast a ballot.

In this episode of the Frenchie Podcast, we explore the remarkable transformation of Cajun French from a language discouraged in Louisiana classrooms during the 1920s to a valuable military asset during World War II. Featuring rare archival audio discovered at the Center for Louisiana Studies, listeners will hear an extraordinary conversation between two legendary Cajun veterans and Louisiana National Guard leaders—Gen. Bob LeBlanc and Gen. Curney Dronet. Together, these two Acadian citizen soldiers discuss language, identity, military service, and the emergence of a new pride in being Cajun during and after the war.
Megan Constantin sits in for Christiaan Mader on this edition of Out to Lunch Acadiana. When I say the name "Jourdan Thibodeaux…" You’re thinking of a musician. He’s hard to miss on stage at a festival as a fiddler and frontman for Jourdan Thibodeaux et les Rôdailleurs. But Jourdan is also a business owner. In Henderson Swamp outside Breaux Bridge, Jourdan and his partner Scott LaGrange own and operate Cypress Cove Landing — a marina, dance hall, restaurant, bait shop, and alligator hunt outfitter. Born on Cypress Island, Jourdan was raised speaking French by his grandmother, self-taught on a pawn shop fiddle. Everything he does is a kind of cultural advocacy. So you’re probably not surprised that he thinks of Cypress Cove Landing as a cultural hub. And a hub it certainly is. Cypress Cove offers boat slips, houseboat rentals, guided alligator hunts, fishing, and weekly Cajun dances that regularly draw five to six hundred people. The venue also hosts music tour groups through SOKO Music Tours. It's deliberately family friendly — all ages, all parts of the property. For Jourdan, it’s a place that exists because he got tired of watching authentic Cajun culture get replaced by a commercial version of it. Cypress Cove is a mission driven kind of entrepreneurship. But, as Jourdan will tell you, that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Cypress Cove employs ten people, and Jourdan puts whatever the business earns back into the operation and the community. Real estate broker Beau Bourque, has always wanted to run something of his own. He grew up in New Iberia, studied business at UL Lafayette, and came out of school looking for work with an entrepreneurial edge. He found it selling beer and liquor for Crescent Crown Distributing — out front, making things happen. Then real estate called. Beaux joined a commercial team at Van Eaton Romero in 2011, built a niche in mobile home parks and industrial properties, and in 2020 launched Beacon Realty — his own commercial brokerage in Lafayette. Beacon serves local and national clients. It completes an average of a transaction every couple of weeks, which is impressive for a company that, so far, runs lean. Beau has brought on a second commercial agent and sees room to grow to five or six. About eight out of ten deals come through online leads, though Beau still makes at least an hour of calls every day and mails letters to prospective clients. The fundamentals, he'll tell you, don't go out of style. 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.

Deep in the Louisiana bayou, where Spanish moss hangs like funeral shrouds and cypress trees rise from black water, Cajun parents have been warning their children for generations: don't stay out after dark, don't wander too far from home, and never, ever ignore the call to come inside. Because if you do, Père Malfait might find you. And when this moss-covered demon wraps its arms around you in a crushing bear hug, there's no escape—just the slow, agonizing pressure as your ribs crack, your lungs collapse, and the swamp claims another victim. #FreakyFolklore #PèreMalfait #CajunFolklore #LouisianaBayou #SpanishMoss #CajunBoogeyman #SwampLegends #FolklorePodcast #CreepyTales #SouthernGothic #BayouHorror

676. Part 2 of our conversation with Frances Kolb Turnbell about Spanish Colonial Louisiana. Frances recently published an important history entitled, Spanish Louisiana: Contest for Borderlands, 1763–1803. What happens when a fading French colony is handed over to a Spanish Empire determined to impose order? In this episode, we dive into Frances Kolb Turnbell's landmark book, Spanish Louisiana. We explore a Mississippi Valley that was far more than just a line on a map—it was a "fluid zone" where Spanish governors, defiant French colonists, Indigenous diplomats, and enslaved people seeking manumission constantly negotiated the terms of their own freedom. From the violent New Orleans Revolt of 1768 to the secret trade networks that fueled the American Revolution, Turnbell reveals how the people of the borderlands often shaped imperial policy more than the monarchs in Madrid ever did. Frances Kolb Turnbell is a historian of Early America and the Atlantic World with a specialization in the eighteenth-century Lower Mississippi Valley. She earned her PhD from Vanderbilt University and currently serves as the editor of the Tennessee Historical Quarterly while teaching at the University of North Alabama.

There's a version of life in Acadiana that most of us only see from a car window. We live in something of a paradise, it’s just sort of removed from your day-to-day reality. That’s in part because Louisiana’s natural beauty isn’t always so easy to see. Louisiana is flat. Famously so. We don’t have mountain vistas to behold. So, if you want to really drink in Acadiana’s splendor, you probably need to get on the water. Don’t have a boat? Don’t worry about it. Reed Rudasil has you covered. Reed is the owner of Wanderlust Rentals, a startup that rents kayaks, right on the water. He grew up in Lafayette and studied civil engineering at UL. But he figured out pretty quick he didn't want to sit in an office. He tried landscaping, he managed a crawfish restaurant, he started buying rental properties. Eventually Reed founded a property management company called Experience Louisiana, focused on short-term rentals that often put guests close to waterways. Renting kayaks came naturally from there. Many of the properties he manages sit on the water — and guests kept asking what to do once they arrived. Reed's answer was Wanderlust Rentals, Louisiana's first multi-point service kayak rental system. The concept is straightforward: kiosks placed by the water, stocked with single and tandem kayaks. Customers sign a waiver, pay, get a code, and they're on the water. No staff required. No waiting. The whole transaction happens just feet from the bayou. Don’t have a car to get the bayou? Maybe try an e-bike. They’re everywhere, in case you hadn’t noticed. The electric bike market in the United States was worth $2 billion in 2025 and is projected to more than double in the next decade. Gerri Simon is a serial entrepreneur who’s cashing in on that market. She owns eBikes Plus, a one-stop shop for electric bike sales and repair here in Lafayette. She grew up in Vermilion Parish — not far from the water, and not far from the kind of hands-on problem solving that runs in Cajun households. Gerri's dad, she'll tell you, was an engineer who never finished high school. He taught her to build things and to work on things. She took that instinct to UL, where she discovered she was good at math, and came out the other side with a degree in mechanical engineering. She later got an MBA. She went on to found and operate several businesses before landing on eBikes plus. A big part of her customer base is retirees with RVs who pack up the bikes to take with them on their roving vacations. But more and more people are turning to e-Bikes as their primary means of conveyance. Out to Lunch Acadiana was recorded live over lunch at Tsunami Sushi in downtown Lafayette.

In this captivating episode, we sit down with Cajun Knight and Raven Lee, the fearless hosts of the wildly popular Cult of Conspiracy podcast — the show that dares to awaken your third eye and challenge everything you thought you knew.Together, they fearlessly explore some of the most controversial and mind-bending conspiracies of our time — topics the mainstream media refuses to touch. In this powerful conversation, Cajun and Raven take us behind the scenes of their journey into podcasting, sharing the realities, risks, and rewards of diving deep into subjects most people shy away from.We plunge headfirst down the rabbit hole, only to discover that every conspiracy seems to lead to even deeper layers of mystery. The duo opens up about the constant challenge of staying ahead in a world where “the powers that be” seem to design the narrative to keep us questioning everything.The discussion takes a profoundly personal turn as they candidly share their own intense encounters with the paranormal. Cajun Knight reveals his terrifying battle with a demonic entity that had attached itself to him — and the dramatic spiritual intervention by angelic forces that ultimately set him free. Raven Lee opens up about the supernatural experiences that have deeply impacted her and her family's lives, from prophetic dreams that manifest into reality to undeniable physical encounters.By the end of this episode, one thing becomes crystal clear: we are living in a profoundly spiritual world — one where supernatural forces and spiritual warfare are far more real, and far more intertwined with our daily existence, than most dare to admit.Got a mind-blowing paranormal encounter, cryptid sighting, UFO experience, or any high-strangeness story that still gives you chills?

En 1755 un Acadien nommé Beausoleil se dresse contre le « Grand dérangement » que les Anglais organisent pour chasser tous les Acadiens hors du Canada après la défaite française.Plongez dans l'histoire mouvementée de l'Acadie, cette région francophone du Canada confrontée à la domination britannique au XVIIIe siècle. Franck Ferrand vous entraîne dans un récit captivant où se mêlent batailles, déportations et quête de liberté.À l'aube du 1er juin 1755, 2000 soldats britanniques encerclent le fort Beauséjour, dernière forteresse française en Acadie. À l'intérieur, 150 soldats français résistent tant bien que mal. Mais dans les bois alentour, une troupe de civils menée par le légendaire Joseph Broussard, dit Beausoleil, n'a pas dit son dernier mot.
Welcome back to The Lawcast! This time our hosts cover the NWA's Clash of the Champions VI: Ragin' Cajun from April 2, 1989. 1989 in the NWA is one of the most tumultuous years of any promotion in history and this might be the low point. Booker George Scott ends up getting fired for the disastrous failure of this show, which drew less than 5,000 fans in the Louisiana Super Dome and drew the lowest rating of any Clash of the Champions to date. That all happened despite the show being headlined by Ricky Steamboat defending the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Ric Flair in a Two Out of Three Falls Match that was one of the best matches of the year.The show also featured The Road Warriors defending the NWA Tag Titles against The Varsity Club, The Midnight Express vs. The Samoan SWAT Team, Junkyard Dog vs. Butch Reed, and more.We also discuss this year's Wrestlemania's highs and lows. CM Punk and Roman Reigns had an epic main event. Oba Femi became a star with his victory over Brock Lesnar. On the downside the Cody vs. Randy Orton match was more or less incoherent and featured far too much celebrity involvement. And the entire show was dragged down by the sheer number of ads.

Today on the show I speak with 'The Daywalkers' band leaders - Alex Harris MacDonald (vocals/washboard) + Janson Lohmeyer keyboardist/vocals.This was a tough interview for me to post because unfortunately Janson Lohmeyer tragically passed away, only a few days after we had this conversation. I wrestled with myself as to whether or not I should still put it out, but ultimately decided I would - as I believe it could serve as a nice reminder to all of us that knew Janson, as to what a kind soul he truly was. Over the decades 'The Daywalkers' (who fuse Louisiana Roots Music with Cajun, Pop and Zydeco) have developed a reputation as a high quality live band, attracting visiting from all over the world to see the group while visiting the city of New Orleans.Among many notable accolades, the band have released three albums of original material and individually, Janson has appeared on releases by Adam Duritz (Counting Crows), Lucinda Williams and Susan Cowsill. While Alex has held residencies at various Blue Note Jazz Venues with Joe Sample in Japan, has been inducted into the Zydeco Blues Trailride Hall Of Fame class and toured extensively with Louisiana favorite Dwayne Dopsie.During our conversation, we talk about the Bourbon Street scene, hurricane Katrina, musicians healthcare, touring and an array of other topics.For more information on 'The Daywalkers' please visit www.thedaywalkersneworleans.com or visit the band on Facebook.Once again, my deepest condolences to the Lohmeyer family and all of Janson's bandmates and family for the massive loss experienced by his passing.For further information on Travis Marc or 'Musicians-Mentor' website, please visit www.musicians-mentor.com As usual, thanks for checking out the channel and if you're getting anything useful from my content, please feel free to comment, like, share and subscribe, thank you.
