611. Part 1 of our conversation with Carlis Wright Robinson about her father's, Johnny Wright's, baseball career. In response to racial segregation in Major League Baseball, African American players and officials formed their own league, called The Negro League. Despite not playing in Major League Baseball, Wright, like countless other African Americans in baseball at that time, by their mere presence and participation in baseball at that time in America, rejected racism and served as pioneers for future generations. Johnny Wright was one of the excellent players who remained in the Negro League. Wright's daughter, Carlis Wright Robinson, recently shared her father's story and history in her book, The Wright Side of History: The Life and Career of Johnny Wright, Co-Pioneer in Breaking Baseball's Color Barrier, as Told by His Daughter (In Due Season Publishing). Carlis recently spoke with us to discuss her work, her father's legacy, and what she would like for readers to take away when they read her book. Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief is in the Big Easy - New Orleans, Louisiana - visiting Seven Three  Distilling. The Big man chats with Head Distiller, Luka Cutura, about this young distillery named for the 73 neighborhoods of New Orleans. They discuss Luka's Croatian heritage of distilling and the bustling city's rebirth after Katrina. Big Chief can see the future is bright for Luka and is excited to see what's ahead for Seven Three Distilling. In the first half, Big Chief and Luka start out with By-Water Bourbon, a wheated bourbon with a unique mashbill of 64% corn, 26 % wheat and 10% malted wheat. They then move to the Irish Channel whiskey which is a blend of a 10-year Irish whiskey and an American whiskey finished in a cognac barrel. Big Chief gets Belgian waffles and whipped cream. In the second half, they sip on a barrel-aged Gentilly Gin and then finish the show with a By-Water Four Grain Bourbon that will be released next week. This ride on The Whiskey Trip once again features a craft distillery that also happens to be in a city with an amazing whiskey history. If you're in New Orleans you definitely need to take the tour. You won't regret it. Cheers!

What happens when a traditional Irish song is rewritten about zombies? And I have CDs!!!! If you didn't say, “You have Cds…”, you'll find out why it's important. It's kind of funny.

We kicked off the show… 5:04 - WHAT'S NEW STORY I really should talk more about the stuff I sell in my store. But it feels uncomfortable to do so. That's one of the reasons if you go to any of my live shows, and I say, “I have Cds”. Audience members will shout “you have Cdddsss?!” It's a little gimmick I use to draw attention to my merch. And it's really catchy. I was listening to the last episode of the podcast about writing drinking songs. While I talked about my song “The Cat Came Back… the Cat's Perspective,”. It's from my C-D… And then I paused, just like I do at live shows. When I listened to the episode, I responded, “You have CDs…” It got me thinking. Could we do that same thing through a podcast? I don't know. But we're gonna try. We're gonna make this podcast into a sort of an interactive drinking game. Each time I mention CDs, your job is to audibly respond, “you have CDs…” 6:25 - UPCOMING SHOWS APR 1-9: Sherwood Forest Faire, Paige, TX APR 6: Dragon Con Filk Music Concert with Brobdingnagian Bards @ 7 PM CST APR 20: Cat Drinking Songs on Bandcamp @ 7 PM EAST APR 21-23: Jordan Con, Atlanta, GA APR 29.

Thank you for always keeping me company and my spirits up with your music."

If you live in New Orleans you can go for weeks, months, even years, without having any connection to what goes on across the causeway, on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Mandeville, Covington, Madisonville, Hammond – they're just names of places that get hammered when the weather forecast gets it wrong and storms go north of New Orleans. Ponchatoula sounds interesting. You've thought about checking out the strawberry festival. But when it comes right down to it, why not just get a strawberry daiquiri at the drive-thru and go to one of the many festivals on this side of the lake? That's a pretty prevalent view from the south shore. When you live on the north shore, the perspective is, understandably, different.  Without generalizing any more than I have been already, the North Shore sees itself as a superior part of New Orleans that's a mere 40-minute drive away from downtown. The towns on the north shore, they say, have all the benefits of New Orleans, without crime, potholes, poor education, exorbitant rents and inflated real estate prices. Even die-hard New Orleanians have to agree that those downsides are real. But they might be skeptical of the North Shore's claims to share the attributes New Orleans is best known for.  South Shore skeptics, this show's for you. We haven't got time to go into every facet of North Shore/South Shore comparisons, so we're just going to look at one: hospitality. If you live on the south shore, you're familiar with celebrity chefs and restaurateurs like Alon Shaya, Donald Link, and Emeril Lagasse. If you live on the north shore you're also familiar with Pat Gallagher. Pat is the founder and lynchpin of The Gallagher Restaurant Group, a collection of four restaurants in Covington, Mandeville and Slidell. Pat's restaurants employ over 200 people, from the classic upscale Gallagher's Grill in Covington to the casual seafood restaurant, Pat's Rest Awhile, on the lakefront in Mandeville If you live on the south shore, you're familiar with elegant, traditional hotels like the Monteleone, the Roosevelt, and Le Pavilion. If you live on the North Shore, you're also familiar with the Southern Hotel, in Covington. The Southern Hotel existed from 1907 till 1960. After the hotel closed in 1960, the building suffered all kinds of indignities, including a stint as a drugstore, and a City of Covington government building. From 1983 on, it was totally abandoned. It wasn't till 2011 that lawyer and preservationist, Lisa Condrey Ward came along and convinced her husband, her brother, and her sister-in-law to go into business with her and buy the building. Some three years, and $8m in renovations later, the Southern Hotel re-opened in 2014. Today the hotel has 40 guest rooms, event spaces, a set of private guest suites in the garden, and a restaurant. North vs SouthIt's human nature to compare yourself to others. It might not be conducive to good mental health, but we can't help judging ourselves. Apparently, as humans, we like to know where we stand on various axes - like rich/poor, young/old, and smart/stupid. If we really were smart, we wouldn't do this at all. Because it's pointless. Knowing that you're richer, older, or taller than someone else doesn't make you a better person. Similarly, believing that the city you live in is better than the city someone else lives in doesn't actually make your city better. New Orleanians on the South Shore prefer living here for their own reasons. And the exact same logic applies to folks on the North Shore. For diehard South Shore loyalists, maybe today's glimpse into Pat Gallagher's restaurants and Lisa's hotel will open some minds to the merits of the North Shore. And to our friends on the North Shore, Pat and Lisa drove all the way to the Irish Channel without getting carjacked or shaken down by someone claiming to know where they got their shoes. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at NOLA Pizza in the NOLA Brewing Taproom.

It was a lengthy report on our visit to The Commissary deep in the Irish Channel. We had lunch and took out food that was prepared, and some raw kits to cook at home. And we took a few interesting calls.

356. Katie Burlison is the curator of the Hermann-Grima + Gallier Historic Houses, a museum in the French Quarter (820 St. Louis Street & 818 St. Louis Street). We discuss the history of the Protestant charity, the Christian Woman's Exchange (once a tenant of the Hermann-Grima House) in New Orleans. The Exchange published the Creole Cookery Book in 1885, one of the earliest New Orleans cookbooks. "The Christian Woman’s Exchange was the first New Orleans women’s organization established by women for women. Organized in April 1881 and chartered in May of the same year, the Christian Woman’s Exchange was structured much like the original woman’s exchange groups located in the northeastern United States. Their buildings housed consignment shops, rooms for rent, and dining rooms for women of every social class. As the needs of women changed, the group modified its mission to promote public history education in and out of the classroom" (64Parishes). This week in Louisiana history. March 14, 1780.

Brandon has penned two pet centered cookbooks called Cooking For Two. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

New Orleans has always held an appeal to the Irish due to its Catholic traditions and safe harbor for anti-British sentiments. An early wave of Irish immigrants, fleeing British persecution at the end of the 1700s, landed in New Orleans and became well woven into the economic and social fabric of the city. Irish pubs dot the Crescent City's French Quarter from the beatiful courtyards of Pat O'Brien's Bar or the divey feel of Fahy's or the Erin Rose. Ireland's influence is felt in neighborhoods such as the Irish Channel, St. Patrick's Church and the tradition of Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras. With Fat Tuesday upon us, Windy City Irish Radio celebrates the decadent season with music from Professor Longhair, Judy Collins, Beth Patterson, Harry Connick Jr, Na Fianna, Tom McDermott & lucia micarelli, The Lash, Anthony Thistlethwaite, Scythian, Kevin Burke in Chicago, Joe McShane and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for the Irish Mardi Gras!

I have a caveat about that today. I'll tell you about it in a moment. I want to ask for your help to bring these artists the attention they deserve by sharing the show with your friends. You can find more episodes at celticmusicpodcast.com. And you can support for this show on Patreon. There are a lot of small record labels who are doing great things for Celtic musicians. One of those is Temple Records. That's the label of Battlefield Band. In addition to releasing music by Battlefield Band, the label also helps small artists who are doing great things for Scottish music. Like Christine Primrose. About the time I was finishing up the 2-hour Scottish Music show, episode #317, Temple Records sent me music from Christine Primrose. She sings in Scots Gaelic I thought she'd be a great addition to the show. I asked if they had any other music. But I didn't receive anything until the day after I published the show. So today, I'm gonna highlight several artists from Temple Records, including the first band. * CELTIC PODCAST NEWS I want start by thanking everyone who picked up the 2017 Sainted Song Henger Special and collected the 10 bonus CDs from my Celtic music arhive. I really appreciate your support of this show. The collection is still on sale along with podcast t-shirts, but of course, you'll have to do without the bonus CDs. You can find all of our swag and compilation CDs in our store at http://bestcelticmusic.net/shop/  The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast exists on the generosity of our Patrons of the Podcast. You can pledge as little as $1 per episode to pay for the production of this podcast, as well as my time in producing the show. You'll even get shows before regular listeners and my deepest thanks. I want to thank our newest patron: Kevin Crosson. Patrons also help me pick the next 2-hour special milestone. Become a patron today to celebrate Celtic culture through music! http://patreon.com/celticpodcast  Finally, check out http://AmeriCeltic.net. Tony Becket setup this website "to restore awareness, celebrate and preserve the culture and history of Celtic Americans by promoting live Celtic music, festivals, history & ancestry." He's working primarily with Northern California Celtic performers. And he has a YouTube channel which could use your love.  Celtic music and culture is a relatively small community. I mean, if all of the Scottish, Irish, and Welsh ancestry people united, we'd have one heck of a cultural impact. Instead, it's limited mostly to St. Patrick's Day. That's a shame. So I'd like to ask your help of spreading the word about AmeriCeltic. And I'd also encourage you to start your own local Celtic community. Help get the word out about your musicians and cultural organizations. Let's keep Celtic culture growing! And if you have a local organization, let me know. I'd be happy to either mention it here, or better yet, list it in our Celtic Music Magazine. * I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK: What are you doing today while listening to the podcast?

I look forward to each new episode" Charline Grilhé emailed: "Hi Marc ! I discovered your podcast last Saturday. I just arrived in Dublin for the first time of my life for a crazy trip. I came from Paris to support Ben for a historical fencing competition followed by walking across the west coast of Ireland. Sadly I just lost my personal phone so I had no music to listen to and no Internet outside of our B&B. So I was looking for some podcasts. I discovered yours! It was a pleasure to listen to your playlist all week, during the competition and then on the wonderful cliffs of Black Head walking to Moher, in the bus to Dublin, in the plane back to Paris and finally, in my tub with a little tear thinking about this incredible trip and awesome people. Thank you for being a part of this. I'll continue to listen to your podcast until the next time ! Best, Charlie" Zak Kennedy emailed: "I listened to Episode 319 while mowing my yard and a few other chores around the house. I have also played other episodes while driving for my local transit agency. Had a few people ask what I was listening to and said they enjoyed it. I've downloaded a couple of older episodes that I missed to listen to in the run up to this year's Dublin Irish Festival. Have you been to it as a presenter or performer? Keep up the great work!"

Traditionally in America there have been two sure fire ways to get out of a life of poverty sports and music. Here is New Orleans there s also another route food. Following in the footsteps of Catholic Charities success story Cafe Reconcile in Central City, Cafe Hope started up on the Westbank, giving disadvantaged kids courses in kitchen and front of house skills that they can then apply in the wider world of restaurants, service industry, and culinary arts. Cafe Hope s Executive Director Luis Arocha tells Ray and Margo inspiring tales of his students but none can be more inspired or inspiring than Luis himself. The tale of his conversion from wealth management professional to running a charity is the most life changing food story you ve ever heard. Stan Meadows restaurant adventures are as unique as any food tale you ve heard too. Stan runs the only good restaurant between Gulfport, Mississippi and Panama City, Florida Stinky s Fish Camp. The secret to Stinky s success is Chef Richard, a graduate of Commander s Palace restaurant in New Orleans. When folks from the newly re modelled Intercontinental Hotel in New Orleans ate at Stinky s they were so impressed they hired the Stinky s peeps to open a restaurant in the hotel. That new restaurant is called Trenasse. Trenasse features the fresh Gulf fish dishes that Stinky s is famous for, under the direction of Chef Jean Pierre, a Bayou Lafourche kid who went off to culinary school, cooked at Daniel in New York, was sous chef at Commander s, and is creating tradition and re creating taste at Trenasse. This show is our first at the Tap Room, NOLA Brewing Company s watering hole next to the brewery on Tchoupitoulas Street in the Irish Channel.

In 4 years Lauren Thom has taken Fleurty Girl from a bedroom in the front of her house on Oak Street to 5 stores citywide. At a time when the term "T shirt shop"was synonymous with "bottom feeding scum," representative of everything that was wrong with New Orleans tourist centered economy, Lauren turned T shirt economics on its head, pitching her product at locals, with dopey tourist slogans like "I got Bourbon faced on Shit Street" with insider jokes and NOLA pride from a Kenner Bra to an Irish Channel on TV. John Blancher bought a run down bowling alley to use as a catering hall. When he started booking bands, and drinkers and dancers also became bowlers, he d accidentally created a phenomenon that he called Rock n Bowl. Today Rock n Bowl is the anchor of a small entertainment empire that includes Ye Olde College Inn and Ye Olde Bakery. In the Pay It Forward segment of the show, host Peter Ricchiuti, Lauren and John discuss Kelsey Forman s suddenly successful vegan soap biz Cake Face Soaping over lunch at Commander s Palace.

In 1722 an anonymous author styling himself with the degree 'A. M. in Hydrostat' published a proposal in Dublin with the title, Thoughts of a Project for Draining the Irish Channel, a satire on both the South-Sea Bubble and Anglo-Irish politics, as well as a comment on the craze for projects and speculation, scientific advances in hydraulics and circulation, resource management and political arithmetic, and improvement and reclamation. The conceptual leap made in Draining the Irish Channel is that the sea can and should be improved: in other words, done away with. The sea could become not only the medium but the very ground of British colonialism; land could be created from unproductive water; the Irish Sea could literally become a new territory. In practical terms, then, the sea is recast as a geography of natural resources that could potentially be pumped, mined, and diverted using locks and drains, all for the health of the British nation.

Miraculously healed of a deadly blood disease, Chef Matt Murphy – originally from Ireland – went on to open The Irish House in New Orleans... a true Irish gastropub on St. Charles Avenue, right on the outskirts of the historic Irish Channel. Listen as Chef Matt recounts his miraculous healing, the love he has of his faith and his family, and his experience at winning last year on Food Network's Chopped. The last line of his bio on his website sums Chef Matt up well... Today, the most important thing to this bona-fide family man and unofficial ambassador of New Orleans, is to live, laugh, cook and always give back.

I just got back from a killer show at InConJunction. So this week's show starts off talking about the exciting time I had in Indianapolis. There I got to see Tom Smith, the World's Fastest Filker, perform. That got me thinking that I need to do a special feature on the music of Science Fiction Conventions. So this week's show features a small fraction of the musicians and bands who I have met while performing at Science Fiction conventions. It's only a small portion of the great music you can find there. Oh! And I reveal the super-duper secret news I've been hinting about for the past three weeks.
