520. Part 2 of our conversation with Joshua Trosclair, a progressive activist.  "HousingLOUISIANA is a statewide initiative aimed at meeting Louisiana's housing needs and create a statewide network of regional housing alliances to ensure better collaboration across the state. Under the #PutHousingFirst banner, Louisiana has built out its Housing Triad, a multi-pronged strategy transforming the affordable housing marketplace across the state.  This alignment supports a housing-centered foundation for intersectional community-rooted initiatives designed to respond to climate change, criminal justice reform, racial inequity, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the hurricanes that have devastated South Louisiana over the last few years."   This week in Louisiana history. April 30, 1803. Louisiana Treaty Purchase Treaty signed. This week in New Orleans history. On May 6, 1883, the Daily Picayune reported that "a New Orleans concern which H. C. Ramos is president and other leading buisness are interested" bought two stores on Tchoupitoulas Street with plans to  erect a plant for the manufacture of their product, Red Rock Ginger Ale. Henry C. Ramos would gain greater fame in 1888 when he concocted the first Ramos Gin Fizz — a mixture of gin, lemon juice, lime juice, egg white, sugar, cream, orange flower water, and soda water — at his Imperial Cabinet Saloon on Gravier Street. Before Prohibition, Ramos had over 20 bartenders working at the Imperial at once making nothing but the Ramos Gin Fizz - and still struggling to keep up with demand. During the carnival of 1915, 32 staff were on at once, just to shake the drink.  This week in Louisiana.

This week, the show is back in New Orleans for a special talk with Sam Doores, one of the talented founders of well-traveled roots-rockers The Deslondes. We dive into their newest LP Ways & Means and how California-born Sam - who plays various instruments from electric guitar to keys, and sings in seven bands and counting throughout the Crescent City - collected many of its slow-burn soul-adjacent songs like "Five Year Plan" while holed up in a storage unit studio squat, questioning his place as an adult with real responsibilities who also happens to be a soul-searching artist criss-crossing our beautiful (or crumbling) almost-post-pandemic world. Imagine if you will, you walk into a saloon lost somewhere between 1930 and 1975. The band onstage has three distinct lead singers, and the songs feel like hard lived-in tales that could live in a TV western or the soundtrack to Boogie Nights, with vibes that would inspire both Ray Charles and Woody Guthrie, Tom Waits and The Beatles. If you're confused, good. Algorithms can force music upon you at any time these days and I'll admit, Spotify wants me to listen to The Deslondes, at all hours. They're not wrong. If I have one job in this podcast it's to share the music that lights a fire in me as a fellow songwriter and has me grasping for genre-descriptor straws. I have no idea, clearly, how to describe this band. I will say, songs like “Howl at the Moon” make me feel like I'm somehow still proud to be an American, plying my trade somewhere in the still kind of Wild West. Starting with their charmingly ramshackle and bluesy self-titled debut in 2015, the band, which formed in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward, has always made a point to write democratically and spread songs around to their singers. Sam for one, Dan Cutler (bass) for another and notably the always compelling Riley Downing, whose ancient deep drawl sounds like it should be its own character in Yellowstone - and all harmonize gorgeously together. Downing and Doores also both have duo and solo albums which are lovely, but what they create here in The Deslondes - especially in timeless story songs like “South Dakota Wild One” about Riley's wandering youth - are special in the way accidental supergroups make music that somehow shouldn't exist.  It was a pleasure getting together with Sam for a rare in-person chat just off Frenchmen Street. If there's one thing I love most about New Orleans, it's that it creates new artists that seem to follow the beat of their own drummer, genres be-damned. Give Ways & Means a spin - it might transport you somewhere you need to go.

In the last few years, many people have turned to home baking as a distraction, as solace, and for fun. But nothing beats the sweet and inventive creations of a professional pastry chef. On this week's show, we get a peek into the lives and careers of those behind the rolling pin. We begin with internet cake sensation Bronwen Wyatt of Bayou St. Cake. Bronwen's cakes are not only delicious but visually arresting, with designs that draw on the baker's art school education. We learn the role social media played in her launching her small cake company in 2020. Then, we sit down with Kelly Jacques and Samantha Weiss, who are bringing freshly baked joy to New Orleans' Marigny neighborhood through their new bakery café, Ayu Bakehouse. They discuss how their education and friendship evolved over the years, leading to their shared vision being realized on Frenchmen Street. Finally, we hear about the illustrious career of Jacquy Pfeiffer, the James Beard Award-winning pastry chef who helped found The French Pastry School in Chicago and whose quest to win the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (France's top pastry prize) was the subject of a documentary by D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus.

493. We talk to Tia LeBrun, a Democratic candidate for the Third Congressional District. Tia LeBrun was born and raised in Terrebonne Parish as a member of the United Houma Nation. Being the daughter of three generations of working-class service-industry workers, Tia imagined herself working in the same industry as a child. However, she became an educator because her teachers instilled in her the desire to inspire the next generation of Louisianans. This week in Louisiana history. October 29, 1948. Birthday of journalist Bryant Gumbel, formerly of the Today show on NBC. This week in New Orleans history. Governor David Conner "Dave" Treen Sr. died at East Jefferson Hospital in Metairie on October 29, 2009.  He was the first Republican Governor of Louisiana since Reconstruction and the first Republican in modern times to have served in the U.S. House of Representatives representing Louisiana. This week in Louisiana. Halloween in New Orleans Second only to Mardi Gras for its dazzling display of fun and finery, Halloween in New Orleans draws thousands to the Quarter for devilish fun while vampires, zombies, ghosts, goblins and everything else parade up and down Frenchmen Street displaying the city's legendary wit and creativity in their carefully crafted costumes. All Hallow's Eve in New Orleans is an experience to remember for both the living – and undead.     Start your Halloween adventure with one of the many haunted tours through the French Quarter or some other spooky part of the city. And then, of course, there are the world-famous cemeteries where the dearly departed are buried in tombs above ground. Hundreds of stories abound in which the ghosts of these “Cities of the Dead” make their presence known.      While prowling around the French Quarter there are a number of Voodoo shops to learn a little more about the history behind these centuries-old spiritual practices. The spirit of Marie Laveau, the High Priestess of 19th century New Orleans, can still be felt in the vibes that surround you in some of these shops. You might even learn a few spells and mystical incantations. Many of the shops have special Halloween events.      Also, Voodoo Music + Arts Experience takes place every October. Head to City Park to enjoy food, drinks, carnival rides and a stellar lineup. The crowd will be in costume and the Halloween spirit will be evident! Postcards from Louisiana. Dr. Quin G.

Hello and how the heck are ya? Welcome to Marti's Music Kitchen, the Fun Music and Food Podcast where anything can happen! Broadcasting from the birthplace of jazz, the home of jambalaya and Po Boys, Marti's in New Orleans! Straight from Frenchmen Street, Marti joins Miss Sophie Lee, owner of the Three Muses restaurant, as well as singer/songwriter for her own band. Her music is a blend of traditional, New Orleans jazz and ‘40s era swing, and she's known for her sweet, silky vocals that will transport you straight back to an earlier, more romantic era of Jazz. “I actually went to . . a classical piano conservatory until they kicked me out,” says Sophie. “But then I picked up a guitar and start writing songs, which I had never done before. I started playing for fun, which is way more enjoyable than when I was forced to do it.” “I actually went to . . a classical piano conservatory until they kicked me out,” says Sophie. “But then I picked up a guitar and start writing songs, which I had never done before.

Blend all marinade ingredients using a food processor or blender and pour over the meat. Gently work the marinade into the meat with your hands. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours. Cook the marinated meat and vegetables together over medium-high 4-5 minutes, until meat is cooked through. Serve in a bowl over rice. Add an egg, over-easy on the top if desired. * A great alternative to using a bowl to marinate is to put the meat and marinade in a large plastic bag, seal it and work it into the meat that way. THEN refrigerate in the bag. #MartisMusicKit #MartiMendenhall #SophieLee #ThreeMusesNOLA #ThreeMuses #FrenchmenStreet #FridayNight #TGIF #NOLA #cocktails #cocktailtime #cocktailhour #latenightnola #drinkingnola #thespottedcat #bulgogi #neworleans #travel #louisiana #jazz #jazzlover #jazzsinger #MMK #RiceBowl #podcast #art #artist #artlover #musiclover #musician #music

If you've heard anybody talking about the New Orleans economy recently you will have heard about a segment of it that's come to be called, “the cultural economy.” The bars, clubs, restaurants and festivals that make up the cultural economy are the main reason millions of tourists and conventioneers come to New Orleans. And, as we discovered during the Covid pandemic when visitors stopped coming, our cultural economy is now the financial lifeblood of the city. One of the strongest elements of the New Orleans cultural economy is music. Although it might normally go without saying that music is played by musicians, it's important to make that point, because in the case of the New Orleans cultural economy we have two very different types of music. And two very different types of musicians. They're so different, in fact, that New Orleans musicians operate in what is essentially two parallel universes. Almost all of our tourist music revenue is generated on Bourbon Street, Frenchmen Street, and at private gigs for conventions. But New Orleanians almost never go to Bourbon Street to hear music. As Frenchmen Street has become more like Bourbon Street, we're increasingly less likely to go there either. And you can live your whole life here and never go to an event at the Convention Center. The live music New Orleanians listen to is almost totally unrelated to the tourist-driven cultural economy. The local live music industry happens mostly in clubs and bars outside of the French Quarter, and it's mostly funded by our local economy. In other words, local non-Bourbon Street musicians keep the lights on at home as a result of whatever you and I pay when we go out to hear music. Peter's guests on Out to Lunch today are both members of that locally-supported music economy. Andrew Duhon is a New Orleans singer songwriter. His album, The Moorings, was nominated for a Grammy. He's been praised in the rock press, including by critics at Rolling Stone, he tours widely across the country and in Europe, and locally you can catch Andrew live in a number of settings, from the intimate confines of Chickie Wah Wah to the big stage at Jazz Fest. In certain circles, both in New Orleans and around the world, Musa Alvesis a celebrity and a taste-maker. Musa is a DJ. For many years she was based in New York and has DJ-ed in clubs, at concerts, and at music festivals around the world in too many countries to list here, including Russia, Spain, Egypt, Greece, Singapore, and many more. Musa got her start here in New Orleans as a teenager, promoting dance parties in the French Quarter, where she grew up with her mother who for nearly 50 years has been a piano player at Pat O'Brien's. The music industry is a vital part of the Louisiana and New Orleans economy. But, unlike other vital sectors of the economy, there's very little in the way of formal state or city financial support for musicians. Or for any aspect of the music business. Although there are various music-lobbying groups who show up at the Louisiana legislature, there is no recognizable industry-wide organization that represents the music industry in a powerful enough way to get the kind of incentives and tax breaks given to oil and gas, or even the film business. For that reason, musicians, and other members of the music business, are pretty much on their own here in Louisiana.  As New Orleanians we depend on music and musicians not just for the city's finances but also for a measure of our own happiness. And so it's incumbent upon us to understand and to care about the creators of our vital cultural economy.   This show was recorded live over lunch at NOLA Pizza. You can find photos from this show by Jill Lafleur at our website. There's more  recent lunch table conversation about other New Orleans cultural contributors, authors, here.

The 14th Letters Read event and first produced entirely as a podcast. The usual, live reading was scheduled for March 26, 2020 at Frenchman Art & Books on Frenchmen Street in New Orleans. It was preempted by the beginning of the Covid-19 outbreak. Listen to Dylan Hunter as the voice of our subject. Rebecca Hollingsworth is Anne. Both self-recorded in the safety of their own home. Our emcee is Frank Perez, President of LGBT+ Archives Project of Louisiana. Frank was recorded through a telephone conversation with Dylan. Dylan is also our audio engineer for this event. Music is written and performed by Rob Hudak. This event provides a rare glimpse into the personal life of an important Louisiana political activist. It begins with the 1967 correspondence from Anne, an intimate friend. The reading weaves in annual Valentine’s letters beginning in 1999 that, as recently as this year, were still mailed to 200 of his dearest friends. Since the 1970s, Butler was a significant force in the Louisiana civil rights movement. In 1984, 1986 and 1991 he strategically advocated for changing gay-rights ordinances. Butler was a co-founder of LGPAC (the Louisiana chapter of Lesbian and Gay Political Action Caucus) and has served on boards including the Lesbian and Gay Community Center, PFLAG, and LGBT+ Archives Project of Louisiana. Thanks go Antenna, our fiscal agent. To David Zalkind, owner, Frenchman Art & Book, and to Dancing Grounds from whom we were borrowing chairs. The live audio engineer was to be Steve Chyzyk, Sonic Canvas Studio. Thanks also go to Bill Hagler, John Magill, Robert Feiseler, and Courtney Sharp for providing background and context. Thank you Letters Read narrative and storytelling advisors Ted Cotton and Cassie Pruyn. Support for the 2020 programming season is provided by the LGBT+ Archives Project of Louisiana, Corner Foundation, Reba Judith Sandler Foundation, and from private individuals to whom this project is enormously grateful. The Letters Read 2020 Season is also funded under a grant from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

New Orleans might not have invented the concept of partying, but the city has certainly perfected it. Before the onset of this Covid Economy and before it became an alleged virus incubator, Mardi Gras in New Orleans was one of the most celebrated parties on earth. There are free parties every single night on Bourbon Street, and Frenchmen Street. Even in the business world, New Orleans is known for socializing. Although conventions are meant to be places for doing business, there's a reason Las Vegas and New Orleans are the country's biggest convention destinations. In New Orleans the worlds of tourism and conventions meet in the offices of an organization called New Orleans & Company - a city body that was formed by the recent combination of the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation and the Convention & Visitors Bureau. The Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of New Orleans & Company is Mark Romig. Mark has been a guest on Out to Lunch before, under happier circumstances. Back then we would never have imagined that we would be discussing the details of turning the New Orleans Convention Center into a hospital. The Dr Is In: Will the Virus Cure Also Cure the Ailing Economy? Among the long list of questions that nobody seems to know the answer to in this public health crisis, one of the most pressing is, When we finally get the spread of the virus under control and stop losing lives, will we also cure the Covid Economy? There are not many people qualified to answer this question. Meet Steve Ceulemans. Steve is originally from Belgium, where he got a degree in international business and management. After that, he got a Doctor of Science degree from Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. You might well imagine that when Steve pursued these two very disparate avenues of academic study – business and tropical medicine – there were people who wondered if one would ever be able to use those two skillsets at the same time. Well, that time has arrived. As Executive Director of the Baton Rouge Health District, Steve Ceulemans is uniquely qualified to understand how this pandemic is undermining our economy. Festival Fun Is Most Definitely Over Remember the days before the Covid Economy? When you could go out to a restaurant? Or a bar? Or a music festival? In Louisiana, we have over 400 festivals every year. From the internationally renowned – like Jazz Fest in New Orleans and Festival International here in Lafayette – to unique local favorites like the Shrimp and Petroleum Festival in Morgan City, or the Rice festival in Crowley. And then there's the literally thousands of bars and restaurants across the state, with regional specialties like smoked meat in Ville Platte, boudin in Broussard, or the muffuletta in New Orleans. For now though, our Louisiana way of life has come to a grinding halt. It's tough times for all of us, but especially for folks in businesses that rely on social gathering. Not just because they're closed down, but also because of the uncertainty of what their businesses will look like when we get back to normal. Gus Rezende owns seven food and drink establishments in Acadiana, including Tula Tacos and Central Pizza, and through his company, Social Entertainment, he's the promoter of a handful of festivals, among them the Acadiana Poboy Festival. How is Gus positioning his businesses for re-opening, and is he getting and Federal help through the Cares Act?

Some insiders have known about it for a while, but Keith Spera’s article on Tuesday confirmed it: beloved Frenchmen Street bar and music venue d.b.a. is up for sale. Owner Tom Thayer drops by to chat about the decision to sell, how he got there, how the COVID-19 crisis is impacting him, and what he might have in mind for the future. Also, Producer Griper shares his experiences with d.b.a. and the Marigny vibe of yore, and special guest Traci Birch has some thoughts she wants to share with Tom. As always, keep your distance and stay safe, folks!

Tom Thayer of DBA New Orleans joins the show and talks about putting up for sell the venerable Frenchmen Street music club. Tom gets into how he and his partners found the space, and his relocation to New Orleans to open the club in the early oughts. We talk about changes over the years on Frenchmen Street, the uptown/downtown divide, and finding silver linings during the Coronavirus lockdown.Then Traci Birch joins in, and talks with Tom about the amazing wedding reception she & Geoff Douville enjoyed at DBA, as well as DBA hosting the after Memorial service reception in February after Geoff passed. Traci gets into the challenges of teaching from home, and the daily walks she takes all over the now quiet streets of New Orleans.

Chapter 7: New Orleans, LA - Brocation! There is nothing better than going on a quick 24-hour vacation with one of your best buddies to one of your favorite cities to visit New Orleans! In September 2019, from beignets at Cafe Du Mont, drinks at Pat O’Brien’s, night in Frenchmen Street to one extremely spicy po’boy this was a weekend we both needed!

We arrived in Fairhope Alabama and learned Mardi Gras originated in Mobile in 1703. We went to  a Mardi Gras parade in Mobile Alabama which was our 1st Mardi Gras Parade ever. What a blast. While the downtown is filled with bars, Mobile keeps their festivities kid friendly. While there we visited the Mobile Carnival Museum. We highly advise you to take their free tour, admission was $8. We then went to a 2nd parade in Fairhope, which was much smaller but still fun. We ate at a fantastic Lebanese restaurant in Fairhope called Sage.Then we drove to New Orleans (NOLA). Camped at 3 Oaks and a Pine campground (which we reserved through Passport of America $40/night for full hookups - and there's a membership discount code I can email you which will save you some money towards their membership fee, just let me know). We are 15 minutes away from Bourbon St. We walked to Frenchmen Street and sat at Apple Barrel to listen to Great old jazz music.And we had Beignets at Cafe Du Monde.The next day we took the bus into town which was no bargain. In New Orleans we took a tour (hottest hell tour) which was touted as "adults only" and it was great. The owner/guide talked about alot of the dark stuff that happened in New Orleans, we found tickets on Groupon for it.We headed over to the parade route where we had bought tickets to use bleachers for $15. We were so glad we did that. It started at 6:15. but It didn't get up to us until 7:30pm. And the last float went by us at 11:15 p.m. So now we've seen three different Mardi Gras parades and we agree we liked the one in Mobile Alabama the best.But what a fun experience here in NOLA. We love all those bars with live jazz music, live bands, and oh yes the food !!!!!!!!  We were told to be careful of the crime on Bourbon Street. But we saw no problems at all. Yes, it's a city so be careful. But there is also Mardi Gras for kidsin NOLA (New Orleans).We met friends at  drinks at Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop -- built between 1722 and 1732 by Nicolas Touze, is reputed to be the oldest structure used as a bar in the United States. We are staying at Three Oaks and a pine Campground.At the visitor center in town they have 24 hour RV parking (which would be dry camping) for $50 for 24 hours.

This week I had the privilege of speaking with painter Chris Long, whose gorgeous work I discovered on Instagram.Born and raised in CT, Long earned a degree from the Lyme Academy College of Fine Art in 2000. After several years of exhibiting and teaching figurative sculpture throughout New England, he took to the road in an RV with his family in 2008. After a couple years of traveling, he had the impulse to switch mediums (which prior to this point he vehemently avoided) and started painting and selling his work in New Orleans at the French Market and on Frenchmen Street. He currently paints from the iPhone photos his wife takes as they travel across the country.

Paul Sanchez, New Orleans Best Songwriter Paul Sanchez is the best songwriter in New Orleans. He's been writing songs and telling stories since he was six years old. Join us as we talk about New Orleans, music and storytelling. Learn about the earliest days of Paul's former band Cowboy Mouth, his connection to Steven Soderbergh, and who has the best singing voice in New Orleans. This interview first aired in October 2016. My interview skills have improved since then, but listening to this one today made me smile. I hope it brings joy to you as well. Give it a listen then check out Paul's music online. His first solo release was Jet, Black and Jealous (1992). It's still one of my favorite albums by any singer songwriter.

Why are white people allowed to use the Police as their personal attack dogs? This week we are joined in the studio by Megan Kiefer, the attorney representing Eugene Grant. Eugene is a black local musician who was arrested earlier this month by NOPD for playing music on Frenchmen Street in an incident that began after a complaint by a white business owner. Megan joins us to talk about the incident, where it stands now and we dive into a conversation about the relationship between Police and people of color in our city, and our country. Additionally, we talk about the rising tensions between England/Iran, the protests in Puerto Rico and Trump’s campaign of hate. Tune in this week to #ResistanceRadio!

Paige is close to curing cancer, Nicole is a psychic who communicates with the dead, and Adrian is one of New Orleans most successful street performers who has been told by the police if he shows up again on Frenchmen Street he ll get arrested. Just another random collection of New Orleanians hanging out at Wayfare for Happy Hour. Paige Miller and her company Oleander Medical Technologies are on the brink of a breakthrough cure for late stage cancer. 50 of cancers in America are diagnosed too late to be helped by traditional chemo or radiation. Paige is not legally allowed to say the words "cancer" and "cure" in the same sentence, but make no mistake, that s what we re talking about here. And, by the way, "I m curing cancer" is not even the most interesting sentence Paige could use to describe herself. Wait till you hear how she met and married her current husband and what she can tell you about Bill Gates. For starters, he s known as "Trey" by his friends. If Paige isn t the most interesting person we ve ever had on Happy Hour she will be after she gets back from Stockholm with the Nobel Prize. How do we know Paige is going to come home with the Nobel Nicole Reilly is an "evidential psychic medium." Evidential means she can prove it s true. That s right, Nicole sees dead people and she can prove it. The reason she chats with the dead is to bring back messages to the living. Apparently when you re alive you can be a know nothing schlub, but somehow after you die you become an authority on what s best for everybody you left behind. Whether or not you like the idea that your late mother or grandmother is now a bona fide know it all, she s here to help you. What do the dead look like According to Nicole, they choose to revert to the best looking version of themselves when they were alive. Adrian Jusdanis has just parted company with the other two members of his trio, New Thousand, he s been banned from setting up and playing on Frenchmen Street, and he s sailing into uncharted waters. Nicole says his future is bright. With a new album in the works and plans to conquer the West Coast, keep an eye on Adrian, Nicole s prediction might just come true.

Sara Reardon grew up like any other half Chinese half Native American in New Orleans East. Somewhere along the line Sara branched out on her own and became The Vagina Whisperer. Although the title might sound like something you get bestowed on you in the Native American tradition, it was actually created by the mom of a friend, one night in the hot tub when the girls were discussing their various vaginal issues. It s amazing how many women have problems, from prolapses to painful sex and many more, that just don t get talked about. Happy Hour is an unusual format to discuss women s problems but Sara is fearless she even describes how to take a selfie of yourself peeing if you d like to. Edward Wycliff might be the hippest guy in New Orleans and he s not even a hipster. He s a graduate from the Peace Corps where he spent time in Lesotho did you know it s pronounced "Lesutu" . Today Edward has a business where he teaches people in Lesotho to sew bowties made of their native textile called shoesoe pronounced "shwayshway" which he sells in New Orleans at the Palace Art Market on Frenchmen Street. If you are an average person who went through the education system anywhere in America, you are going to learn more about Lesotho in this 60 minutes than you learned about Africa in your entire elementary and high school education. Andrew Duhon s new record, False River, is only days away from hitting shelves and playlists. Meantime you can get three songs right now on Spotify and a special bonus track for free if you pre order the album from Apple Music. You can also hear two songs on this show. In a cunning and unique marketing ploy, neither of these songs are on the record. If you know anybody who has been thinking of visiting or moving to New Orleans and they ask you, "What s the place like " send them a link to this show. This conversation could only happen in a New Orleans bar. Photos at Wayfare by Josephine Hennessey.

Some criticisms of President Donald J Trump just sound better in Bulgarian. New Orleans Bulgarian band Blato Zlato have a blistering folk tale about little Doncho who gets to build his big dream wall, only to find he s destroyed his own view, and much more. Band members Boyanna Trayanova and Lou Carrig are as Bulgarian as they are New Orleanian. It s a heady combo and makes for great musicians, with very pointed views about the way they and their fellow musicians are treated better in Bulgaria than at home on Frenchmen Street. Katy Tinsley works the good side of Frenchmen Street. Katy is the Director of The Palace Market, the artists night market that s open 7 nights a week just off of Frenchmen Street. Katy came to New Orleans after a whirlwind romance and just celebrated her first wedding anniversary. By the next one her husband, Alex, is going to have taught her sharp from flat. Comedian Chris Trew s life is anything but funny. Running The New Movement Theater has turned out to be more complicated than it might have appeared when Chris and his wife Tami were among the pioneers of the improv comedy scene in New Orleans. Chris does his best to explain the ramifications of the accusations of sexual misconduct at the theater, but it s uncertain by the end of this conversation just when the end of the longer conversation might arrive. Chris and the theater clearly have some bridge building in front of them before things return to normal in New Orleans comedy world. Photos at Wayfare by Alison Moon.

Andrew Ward has more weird experiences than 20 Happy Hour guests combined. Without even mentioning the royal Indian heritage of his transgender chickens, how he gets to be involved in Louisiana s record setting race to be number one in the country for Gonorrhea, or the fact that Yulman Lapalanian is his step dad, Andrew s regular night in a bar on Frenchmen Street is not like yours. On Andrew s average night the bartender drops his pants to illustrate a point by displaying his genitals which turn out to have Batman tattooed on one testicle, Superman on the other, and what is going on in between you ll have to figure out for yourself. Christine Clouatre was a bartender on Al Copeland s yacht and is here to say Al never hit on her once. Maybe it was because she told him that she spent her off hours in the jerk off room at the adult sex store on Airline Highway. That was all a long time ago. Today she s an upright citizen who spends her off hours beading like a Mardi Gras Indian with her beading krewe, the Dames de Perlage. Julie Lodato is a fellow Dame and a beading Saints fan, as you can see from her intricate bead work scene of the classic Gleason punt. By day, Julie creates artwork that sells Blue Runner Beans, Crystal Hot Sauce, and other Louisiana goodies. Andrew Duhon returns from a musical run up and down the great American highway to play a beautiful new song inspired by the stoic travails of his mom who has "the good kind of cancer." This is the kind of song that restores your faith in the over used term, "singer songwriter." Oh, just in case you were wondering if there s anything you might not have heard in a barroom conversation before, Andrew Ward relates what he s been up to lately convincing Ugandan men to have a circumcision while they re hanging out at a music festival in Uganda. For real. Photos at Wayfare by Alison Moon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What do marketing managers, law professors, singer songwriters and podcast hosts have in common They could all use a good improv class. Dane Ciolino is a Tulane law professor and legal analyst who sends his trial advocacy classes to The Moth story telling event. Taylor Richardson is marketing manager and SEO guru at Turbo Squid. She also attends Renaissance Faires in 25 pounds of chain mail, and shoots a Mongolian horse bow Don t miss April s impressive research into all things archery . Taylor has participated in Hell Yes Fest, but don t call her a standup comic she will set you straight. Alex Mallet takes a break from his Frenchmen Street hustle to play a new original song, and promises a new album ... possibly named for his address. Andrew Duhon is back on the pod and borrows Alex s guitar to play one of his classics. It s a lingo filled Happy Hour you will never hear a more interesting convesation about archery and Ren Faires with guest host April Stolf See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you ve ever wanted to meet a bunch of amazing New Orleanians, or you want to reaffirm your faith in the plain old New Orleans tradition of having honest to god real conversations and fun with complete strangers, this is for you. YouTube sensation Princess Shaw describes how she got to be the Princess, what it s like to be a star, to travel the world, to come home to New Orleans with no job, to go from being a lesbian to loving men, and what to do when your partner cheats on you. And that s for starters. Desiree Ontiveros has a company called Badass Balloon Company that makes balloons with sayings on them the like of which you can see in the photo, above. Most of the sayings on these balloons will get us axed from whichever respectable podcast app you listen to podcasts on but you get the idea pretty quickly from Desiree s description. When she s not making balloons Desiree dreams of being a sexy assassin, like the original Princess Shaw. If you re not following that exactly, you ll catch on a couple of minutes into this conversation. Matthew Rosenbeck is not Jewish but equally surprisingly he s about 18 Irish. Matthew has been the driving force behind the band The Honorable South, a music booker on Frenchmen Street and a podcast pioneer. Today he s a visual artist with a gallery exhibit and a rising star of sculpture. Andrew Duhon didn t bring a guitar but he did bring his harmonica. Matthew demonstrates his producer skills and masterminds a collaboration between Andrew and Princess Shaw. They come up with a song about cheating that s actually pretty darn good. By the end of these drinks it s hard to discern if Grant is dating Princess Shaw and cheating on her with Desiree or by what method he s going to be killed. Somewhere in another universe in a parallel dimension this conversation is still going on. Photos at Wayfare by Alison Moon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Even for New Orleans, this is an unusual bar scene: a woman in a vagina costume, a drag queen, and a super sexy African American guy having drinks. Which one would you like to know about first? Okay, the drag queen. That s Kitty d Litter. It s 3pm on a Wednesday afternoon and Kitty is wearing what she calls "Day Drag." The difference between day and night drag is that day drag is a little more subdued. Yes, apparently walking around with gigantic costume jewelry, enormous eyelashes, high heels, and an eye catching electric blue dress is a step down from Kitty s regular attire. If you ve ever wondered why certain gay guys like to dress in drag and what it entails, check out this frank conversation. What would make you want to walk around dressed like a vagina, or more strictly, a vulva? Amy Irvin is making a point about women, their vaginas, and raising money for the New Orleans Abortion Fund of which she is Executive Director. The fund gives money to women who can t afford it to pay for an abortion. That sounds like a job that s about as serious as you can get. But if you want a lesson in how to get a difficult and contentious point across with humor and and reason, take a listen to Amy. J Sharp has the sexiest voice in New Orleans. That s not independently verified but you couldn't get much more of a cross section random sample of New Orleanians than around this table and they all agree. J is a co founder, keyboard player and singer in the super tightest and slickest funk band to come out of New Orleans in years - Water Seed. If you've heard any of the band's past 5 records or caught them at anything from Jazz Fest to their regular gig on Frenchmen Street, you'll agree. If you've never heard Water Seed and you like funk like Parliament and The Meters, consider your life changed. And check out their new record, "We Are Stars." Photos at Wayfare by Alison Moon.

Our First Episode!!! In this KW heavy episode the gang talks about volunteering at Keller Williams Red Day, Traveling across the country for different events, Weddings and Best man speeches, and finally Megan being a Maid of Honor. 

Tom Cianfichi is not just the best looking man in New Orleans married to the other best looking man in New Orleans, Bryan Batt. Tom is also an accomplished actor, Broadway casting director responsible for casting some of the biggest shows on Broadway, and an acclaimed director currently staging Pippin at Le Petit Theater marking the theater s 100th birthday. And if you need anyone to stop by and make you feel good by faking the sentence, "I m amazed and loving this" like he really means it, Tom s your man. Because this is New Orleans, comedian Addy Najera recognizes Tom, not because he s a famous actor or Bryan Batt s husband, but when she finally figures it out Addy knows Tom from his dogs. He brings them to the vet clinic where Addy is the vet tech. When she s not adjusting her bangs or pulling pet hair off of her clothes, Addy is one of New Orleans funniest comedians and to make that point she s immortalizing herself at the end of the month by making a live recording of her show, currently titled Unnamed For Now aka Isn t This Fun, with no question mark. John Lisi leads a band called Delta Funk that plays around the world and, when they re home, up and down Frenchmen Street at a different club every night. Playing guitar every night is one reason John is one of the greatest players in the city, which by the way is saying something in any city but especially here in New Orleans. John plays a couple of songs on this Happy Hour an original, "Got Cleaned Up," and a Big Bill Broonzy classic. If you want to see how John does it you can find a video version of this show of this show on our Facebook page. Andrew Duhon tries out a new song from his Unnamed For Now record and gets way more of an enthusiastic response than he was expecting. This is a breezy, casua, smart and frank conversation with a bunch of people whose talent would give any one of them the right to brag. But every single one of them has most definitely checked their ego at the door. You won t get more of a refreshingly fun and energetic New Orleans vibe anywhere than this Happy Hour.

Michel Nischan, Toby Rodriguez, and Brian Kyzar are all men with grand ambitions. Even though they work in different parts of the country, they each plan to bring about changes within their niche of the food industry. Michel s been in the game for over 35 years. Among the many jobs he s had, Michel s done farm work, cooked in a kitchen, and opened a restaurant with Paul Newman. Now he s focused on changing food policy on the federal level. We hope you ll be as inspired by Michel as we have. Then we ll speak with Toby Rodriguez and Brian Kyzar as they prepare for a pop up dinner on Frenchmen Street.

Zoals je al in ons verhaal van vandaag hebt kunnen lezen hebben we Bourbon Street overgeslagen om Frenchmen Street te ontdekken. Hadden we het maar veel eerder gedaan, want deze straat, met z'n muziek en kroegen, is zo veel echter en natuurlijker dan eerst genoemde straat. In de wijk kwamen we ook een straatband van kleine opgeschoten jongens en meiden tegen, die de wijk letterlijk op z'n kop zette. Geniet mee!
