624. Part 2 of Ed Branley's return to the porch to talk about the 200th anniversary of the Marquis de Lafayette's visit to America in 1825. Fifty years after the Revolutionary War, Lafayette returned for a triumphant tour of the United States. Nowhere was he more welcome than in his visit to Louisiana. Ed is a volunteer docent at the Cabildo Museum in Jackson Square, and the Museum has a fantastic eshibit commemorating the occasion. "Bienvenue Lafayette. Thu, April 10, 2025 - Sun, January 18, 2026. Commemorating the 200th Anniversary of the Marquis de Lafayette's Visit to Louisiana. Lafayette's tour was marked by public celebrations, music, and the creation of commemorative items, making him a precursor to modern celebrity. One notable stop was his five-day visit to New Orleans in April 1825, where city officials spared no expense, spending the equivalent of $450,000 to transform the Cabildo into lavish accommodations for Lafayette, symbolizing the city's growing significance in the United States. "To commemorate the bicentennial of Lafayette's tour, the Louisiana State Museum presents Bienvenue Lafayette from April 10, 2025, to January 18, 2026, opening on the exact 200th anniversary of his arrival in New Orleans. The exhibition features artifacts, documents, and works of art from local and national collections, and offers visitors insight into Lafayette's legacy as a champion of liberty, democracy, and the abolition of slavery. This exhibition deepens the public's understanding of Lafayette's impact on both the United States and France and highlights New Orleans' role in the broader historical narrative" (Cabildo).

In New Orleans, ten and on-half inches of rain fell on the metropolitan area; eight and two-tenths inches fell between 7:45 and noon, which was double the amount which could be pumped from the streets.

Want to connect with Tj & Plaideau? Send us a text message.Have you ever seen New Orleans draped in a snowy blanket? We have, and it's nothing short of magical. Picture Canal Street turned into a makeshift hockey rink and Jackson Square erupting in a giant snowball fight. The city's transformation was like stepping into a holiday postcard, filled with laughter and joy. We reminisced about the silence that follows a snowstorm, with the world hushed as if the city itself was holding its breath. Our kids built the most adorable snowmen, and yes, Winter Breeze joined the party, complete with a cowboy hat and Saints gloves, a nod to the legendary Drew Brees.Support the showFollow us on IG @nolafilmscene, @kodaksbykojack, and @tjsebastianofficial.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were in New Orleans Monday, joining a community in mourning after the tragic New Year's Day attack on Bourbon Street when a U.S. Army veteran drove a truck into revelers in the French Quarter, killing 14 and injuring dozens of others. In a statement, President Biden said, "To all families of those who were killed, to all who were injured, and to the people of New Orleans, our nation grieves with you, and we stand with you as you mourn and heal." While in New Orleans, Biden is meeting privately with victims' families and state officials, including Governor Jeff Landry, who is requesting a presidential disaster declaration to provide emergency aid and counseling for survivors. Mayor LaToya Cantrell has called for federal assistance to review security and vulnerabilities ahead of Carnival season. Monday evening, the Bidens attended Interfaith Prayer Service for Peace and Healing at St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

606. Part 1 of Rain Prud'homme-Cranford (Rain C. Goméz) & her friends D. G. Barthe and Andrew Jolivette's visit to our porch this week. Louisiana Creole Peoplehood is the book they collaborated on. “Over the course of more than three centuries, the diverse communities of Louisiana have engaged in creative living practices to forge a vibrant, multifaceted, and fully developed Creole culture. Against the backdrop of ongoing anti-Blackness and Indigenous erasure that has sought to undermine this rich culture, Louisiana Creoles have found transformative ways to uphold solidarity, kinship, and continuity, retaking Louisiana Creole agency as a post-contact Afro-Indigenous culture. Engaging themes as varied as foodways, queer identity, health, historical trauma, language revitalization, and diaspora, Louisiana Creole Peoplehood explores vital ways a specific Afro-Indigenous community asserts agency while promoting cultural sustainability, communal dialogue, and community reciprocity.” Rain works within Indigenous and Afro-Indigenous Studies — literature; ecology; gender, two-spirit, and sexuality; Métis; Louisiana Creole; Red/Black Rhetorics; and critical mixed race.

"If you have ever been down to Jackson Square and wondered if New Orleans' iconic cathedral was haunted, well today, you are gonna find out." The image of the St. Louis Cathedral protruding up into the sky from behind Jackson Square has become one of New Orleans's most iconic images. The site, which sits in the heart of the French Quarter, was once the center of government for the Crescent City, but today it is filled with tourists on their way to grab beignets, get the cards read or take a carriage ride through the city. Of course, the square wasn't always this bustling with energy and, as a result, some claim the famed cathedral is haunted by the spirits of clergy who once walked these streets.

"I don't even know what episode it is. Season 3 Episode 36? There's so many episodes in Season 3, who thought this was a good idea!" exclaims Christi as it is indeed Episode 36 "Do-Si-Do and Do-Si-Don't". In order to stretch the season out as much as possible this week, Abby threatens that the girl's performance at In10sity Dance Buffalo Invitational will determine if they go to nationals or not. This is weird for many reasons. For one it's pretty clear who will and won't be going already, but also as long as you have money pretty much anyone can go! But we need to stretch out the Mackenzie and Asia rivalry just a teensy bit more to get people invested in Raising Asia, so the pressure is on.Abby reveals that Dance Spirit Magazine is looking to highlight one of the girls to showcase what the day in the life of an ALDC member is really like. Of course the girls they select is Maddie, though a little prodding by Jill reveals it was Abby who actually insisted on Maddie. Jill sporadicly shows up at Melissa's house during the photoshoot to try and convince the magazine to feature Kendall, though her persistence is met with annoyed looks. Jill gets a minor win when Kendall is paired up with Maddie for a duet, though Holly seems confused as to why Jill is excited at all.Jill knack for the spotlight continues at competition where she dawns full cowboy gear in honor of the country themed group dance and does a little dance, "Mackenzie taught her". Oh Jill, never change (maybe take off the chaps). Quotes“Hylands in their permanent spot [on the Pyramid]! I just never realized how much at the bottom they were. Oh it's always. And what's funny about it is Holly always talks about how Nia was at the bottom of the Pyramid. No, it was Paige and Brooke." (10:20-10:35 | Christi & Kelly)“She is saying insane things to the children. Although at this point our kids aren't even phased. Uh uh, I don't think they are. I think it goes in one ear and out the other” (12:40-12:50 | Christi & Kelly)“If you ever got called into that studio by yourself, it was an instant vomit trigger." (29:16-29:22 | Christi)“Boy Christi, you're going to fuck it all up in Jackson Square next week, no need to worry. Throwing your drink! Ugh, what a waste of a good hurricane."

On June 15, 1845 when the news of Andrew Jackson's death reached New Orleans, Mayor Montegut requested that all flags be lowered to half-mast. Guns were fired at intervals of 15 minutes, from the public square on the three municipalities, as a mark of respect to the late President. Every inhabitant of New Orleans mourned the loss of the man whose great deeds form a bright and ever memorable page in the history of our country. Ceremonies took place on June 26 in the Place d'Armes, now known as Jackson Square. It was near dusk when the head of the procession entered the square and night set in before the orators could commence. This week in Louisiana.

Contractors discovered that the 1849 cathedral foundation wasn't the only one there during a recent renovation. Ryan Gray, anthropology professor and New Orleans urban historical archaeologist, shares more on the ongoing dig. _____ Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

554. Part 2 of our interview of Derby Gisclair about his newest book, New Orleans Steamboat Stories – The Brief Lives of Mississippi Riverboats. "Steamboats shaped America's future, its economy, and its culture while expanding trade and expanding the country's footprint into new territories. This economic expansion was not limited to New Orleans, but also to Cincinnati, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Memphis, Louisville, Nashville, St. Paul, Kansas City, and Chattanooga. A round trip voyage from Pittsburgh to New Orleans that once took six months could now be accomplished in forty-five days. At the same time steamboats made it possible to circulate and disseminate the news and the mail, to spread the various immigrant cultures, food, and music. New Orleans Steamboat Stories contains stories of a handful of the different steamboats and the people who lived and worked on the Western rivers. They are brief in nature as the average life of a steamboat was generally short. But their impact culturally and commercially, esthetically and economically, made a lasting impact on the development of America" (Jefferson Parish). This week in Louisiana history. December 23, 1813. Legislative Act #5 provides for official state seal. This week in New Orleans history. Storyland Dedication, December 30, 1956. During the 1950s Storyland in City Park was filled with Nursery Rhyme figures created by a young man who would become the most noted Mardi Gras float builder in the city; it was funded by an older man who owned and operated the most popular amusement park in the south.

The Whitney Plantation in St. John the Baptist Parish is a non-profit dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of slavery in Louisiana. You'll hear an in-depth description of the exhibits, displays, and elegant plantation house and how those displays impacted our team of pilgrims. In this episode, we are invited to a team "debrief," in which several share their personal responses to a history that has been hidden until now. Then Ken takes us to the French Quarter on a bustling Saturday evening in the heart of the New Orleans. Under the tutelage of master-guide, Leon A. Waters, the team wanders down the Mississippi River and Washington Artillery Park, to Jackson Square, by the St. Louis Cathedral, the Federal Courthouse, and the Slave Exchange, along the narrow streets filled with iconic architecture, surrounded by eager crowds, street vendors and musicians, lively multitudes lined up for the annual Pride Month Parade - New Orleans style.

This week I take an imaginary walk through Jackson Square in New Orleans and ask a caricature artist to draw me something...different. ----- There are sections of our society that have become parodies of themselves. Once proud, they're now laughable forms of their former self. Imagine this: You're walking through the New Orleans French Quarter. You stop at one of the caricature artists on Jackson Square. You say, “Hey Mr Caricature artist. I don't want a picture of me. I want you to draw a picture of, let's say, today's country music.” That caricature artist would draw country music exactly as it is today. Because country music has become a caricature of itself. It would be both a portrait of country music and a caricature at the same time. The musician's goal is to find rhymes for the words beer, mud, tire, and truck many multiples of times in just under three minutes. Fishing a few weeks ago, I heard the song “it's a bad bad day to be a cold cold beer” over and over again. It was a parody of country music. A caricature of itself. The ghost of Hank Williams has his ghost head in his ghost hands and he's crying ghost tears. Another one. Imagine saying “Hey Mr Jackson Square caricature artist. How about drawing me a picture of today's Republican party.” They'd draw the Republican party exactly the way it is right now. The GOP has become a caricature of itself. It would be, again, both a portrait and a caricature at the same time. Once the party of integrity, honesty, and character, it now denies those qualities and, and in fact, spoofs them. It's imaginable that a person could change their favorite color one day. But political party going from railing against liars and the mistreatment of women to saying today, “Ah, well. Maybe that stuffs not so bad.” A complete reversal. The Democratic party is still vaguely recognizable for of what it once was. The Republican party? A parody. A caricature. A spoof. They used to be amateur wrestling. Now they're the WWE. Another one: “Hey, Mr Jackson Square caricature artist. You smell of strange herbs and your eyes are barely open. Can you see well enough to draw me a caricature of college football.” Folks, I love college football. I can't wait for it to start up again, but my narrow-eyed caricature artist friend would draw a portrait of college football as it is right now. It's a caricature and a parody of what it used to be. A spoof. Transfer portals and NIL money have taken their toll. The only ones playing for love of school, sport, and a college degree are the ones who never see the field. The third and fourth stringers. It's a shame. What purity and innocence it had, if it ever had any, is gone. After reading this through – maybe one more. Hey Mr Caricature artist, draw me a caricature of a bitter, grumpy old man. One who doesn't like change and lives too much in the past. And please be kind. I'm Cam Marston and I'm just Keepin' it Real.

In episode 32 I am chatting with Robert Joseph Jones, new friend and owner of the amazing shop, Ysbrydoliaeth - Curiosity Shop / Magasin de curiosités. We discussed our shared backgrounds of Welsh and Deitsch along with Welsh identity, Robert's background in languages as well as teaching and writing poetry.Robert Jones, comes originally from Monroe County in northeastern Pennsylvania born of a Pennsylvania-German and Welsh family. He spent much of his formative years with his maiden aunts who were among the last of the Victorians and practiced Braucherei, Pennsylvania-German folk magic. He spent many years teaching French, German, Spanish, linguistics and literature at a small community college in Central New York before relocating to Lunenburg in the Northeast Kingdom with his spouse and three Cardigan Welsh Corgis (Marigold, Hibiscus and Wisteria).During his previous career, he spent a great deal of time traveling, especially to Wales, and New Orleans where he went to collaborate with harpist, journalist and renowned inn-keeper Barbara Lefèvre Martin on matters of Welsh independence. It was there that he became acquainted with Kutani pottery while wandering through the French Quarter after getting buzzed on chicory coffee at the old Café de Paris next to the Cabildo on Jackson Square. Barbara and he had many adventures in and around New Orleans that included Voodoo practitioners, visiting haunted houses, journalism, plotting and tracking down the ever elusive Bedwyr ap Dafydd, a self-exiled Welsh immigré and descendant of one of the great bardic families of Wales, the last known location of whom was a bar in the Lower 9th Ward before Hurricane Katrina. On his trips to Wales he became friends with Mary Jones (no relation) and her sister Olwen Thomas of Tai'n Lôn, a remote farming village in the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountains where English was rarely spoken. He made the region his base to travel elsewhere in Europe including Brittany, England, Catalonia, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, France, and Spain.Even his connection to Argentina comes through Wales. In the Chubut Province of Patagonia is Gwladfa, a Welsh colony from whence hails the former editor of the Welsh North-American newspaper Ninnau for which Robert wrote off-and-on for many years beginning in the 1980's.Learn more:https://curiosityshop.us/speakwelsh.orghttps://www.madog.org/https://www.facebook.com/ysbrydoliaethhttps://www.instagram.com/ysbrydoliaeth71/The documentary that I was speaking about: The Story of Wales by BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00mlrq9The Welsh poet that I quoted: Gwyneth Lewishttp://www.gwynethlewis.com/index.shtmlGraphic Designer for Ysbrydoliaeth:https://flekvt.com/

New Orleans is a city of distinctly different neighborhoods. 73 of them to be exact. We've got broad-brushstroke boundaries like Uptown, Mid-City and Algiers. Within those – and sometimes seemingly between them - we have areas with names like Black Pearl, Gert Town, Milneburg, and Desire. And if you want to get even more specifically local, you subscribe to the belief that no neighborhood is either “good” or “bad” with the uniquely New Orleans' explanation, “It's block by block.” Normally, we use this yardstick to describe residential blocks. But the same calculus applies to opening a brick-and-mortar retail store. For example, one part of the French Quarter is very different from another. Katie Schmidt launched her fair trade, sustainable clothing line, Passion Lilie, in 2013. But it wasn't till 9 years later, in 2022, that she opened a French Quarter retail store on Chartres Street, just a stone's throw from Jackson Square. What made Katie choose that particular spot? She explains why she's on Chartres Street in the quarter and not Magazine Street, Uptown on this edition of Out to Lunch. Aaron Newsome opened his store, The Bike Shop NOLA, on Freret Street, in 2011. Back then, Freret Street and its surrounding residential neighborhoods, were very different from the gentrified homes and restaurant and retail row the area has turned into. As the neighborhood has changed, Aaron's clientele has changed with it. His customers started out as people with limited resources looking for a used bike, or coming in to get their bike fixed. Now he also has folks looking to buy new bikes, and at a decent price. On top of that, in 2020 Aaron's business was the recipient of more unexpected good fortune. The Covid pandemic and lockdown happened, and suddenly it seemed like every person in America wanted a bike. Aaron's business is doing so well he's been able to relocate to a bigger and better spot. Employing the New Orleans block-by-block calculus, the new location of Bike Shop NOLA is a block or so up Freret Street, near Louisiana's most stylish Rouse's. There are a lot of magical things about living in New Orleans. Like, being able to stroll around the French Quarter, get beignets, listen to music, and shop at a fair-trade designer clothing store that sells exclusive but affordable fashion. And being able to saunter down Freret Street, sample all kinds of foods, from Creole to Greek, and go to a yoga class while you get your bike fixed. These aren't fantasy videos dreamed up by the people who run the Visit New Orleans Instagram account. This is how we live. In another city, maybe you wouldn't put a bike shop and a clothes store on a list of magical experiences, but other cities don't have the French Quarter or Freret Street. And they don't have people like Katie Schmidt and Aaron Newsome who have chosen to live here. The businesses they've built and the lives they're living are all a part of the simple everyday reality that collectively is the magic of the city of New Orleans. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at NOLA Pizza in the NOLA Brewing Taproom.

522. Part 2 of our conversation with Charlotte Bentley about New Orleans French opera. "New Orleans and the Creation of Transatlantic Opera, 1819–1859 explores the thriving operatic life of New Orleans in the first half of the nineteenth century, drawing out the transatlantic connections that animated it. .. This book pieces together what it took to bring opera to New Orleans and the ways in which the city's operatic life shaped contemporary perceptions of global interconnection. The early chapters explore the process of bringing opera to the stage, taking a detailed look at the management of New Orleans's Francophone theater, the Théâtre d'Orléans, as well as the performers who came to the city and the reception they received. But opera's significance was not confined to the theater, and later chapters of the book examine how opera permeated everyday life in New Orleans, through popular sheet music, novels, magazines and visual culture, and dancing in its many ballrooms. Just as New Orleans helped to create transatlantic opera, opera in turn helped to create the city of New Orleans." This week in Louisiana history. May 12, 1898. New constitution includes the "Grandfather Clause" to permit illiterate whites to vote; a poll tax and literacy test included to disqualify black voters. This week in New Orleans history. Jazzland Opens May 20, 2000. The Jazzland Theme Park was an entertainment retail, and amusement complex. The park features a variety of entertainment opportunities designed to convey the elements of New Orleans' rich culture and history. In addition to the economic benefits mentioned Jazzland Theme Park will assist the City in achieving its goal of diversifying the image of New Orleans as an “adult tourist” City into more of a “family tourist” destination. Jazzland had 1 million visitors in the first year of operation". This week in Louisiana.

517. Part 2 of our interview with Windy Counsell Petre about Louisiana author Grace King. “Grace King was an American author of Louisiana stories, history, and biography, and a leader in historical and literary activities. King began her literary career as a response to George Washington Cable negative portrayal of Louisiana Creoles. King desired to create a sympathetic portrayal of Louisianians and Southerners based on her observations and experiences. King viewed herself as a type of representative for the region, although she herself was not in fact a Creole. King also became a representative for Southern women. In her literary works, King focuses primarily on women and women's issues in Reconstruction and its aftermath. King also emphasizes how race and class affected the lives of women” (Wikipedia).

Sherry Rosen had a feeling something bad would happen when she spotted five kids playing by the bank of Ellison Lake Wednesday evening. As she left for dinner around 5 p.m., Rosen called Kennesaw police after she saw one of the teenagers had walked onto the ice at the edge of the lake. When she got back home at 7 PM she saw dozens of fire trucks and police cars, and knew her worst fears had come true. Two 16-year-olds had fallen through the ice in the lake. While rescue personnel were able to successfully save one teen, the other died, Cobb Fire confirmed Thursday. According to Officer David Buchanan, a Kennesaw Police Department spokesperson, officers were dispatched to the scene around 5:09 p.m. Wednesday, arriving at approximately 5:20 p.m. Kennesaw police and Cobb County police were able to rescue one of the teens from the water before Cobb County Fire arrived, according to the fire department. But the second teen was not located and pulled from the water until approximately 6:50 p.m. Rescuers attempted to resuscitate on the bank of the lake before transporting him to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Four rescue personnel were treated for cold exposure, Cobb Fire said, and have been released from medical care. Surface water temperatures at Ellison Lake were recorded as low as 28 degrees, and rescuers were in the water for up to an hour and 20 minutes, according to Cobb Fire. One rescuer was taken to the hospital for hypothermia treatment, and another suffered abrasions during rescue efforts. Sheltering Grace Ministry, a nonprofit which provides services to pregnant mothers experiencing homelessness, is relocating its headquarters to Cobb County. The group announced this week it has sold its East Point location and will soon welcome clients to a new office on Franklin Gateway. An open house for the office is scheduled for next month. In operation for the last 16 years, Sheltering Grace Ministry says its aim is to provide shelter and support for homeless pregnant women, including life skills training to help women emerge from poverty. The organization is currently in the process of obtaining a new property where it can build a series of small homes to house expecting mothers, per a news release. Currently, Sheltering Grace Ministry has six staff and board members along with a team of volunteers. The open house at the new Marietta location will be held from 12 to 6 p.m. on January 16, at 1180 Franklin Gateway, Suite 100, near Delk Road. Most bills the General Assembly passes each year take effect on July 1. But a smattering of new laws enacted during the 2022 legislative session will kick in this Sunday, Jan. 1, including a bill making it easier for food trucks to do business and several new or expanded tax credits. The food truck legislation does away with a current requirement in Georgia law that food truck operators obtain a permit and inspection in every county where they do business. While the tax credit bills technically became effective last summer, they don't really become reality until New Year's Day, the beginning of the tax year. Three of the measures create new income tax credits. House Bill 424 will provide a tax credit to Georgia taxpayers who contribute to nonprofit organizations that help foster children about to age out of the foster care system. More than 700 young men and women age out of the system each year. Senate Bill 361, which was championed by Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan, will provide a dollar-for-dollar income tax credit on contributions to public safety initiatives in the taxpayer's community. Law enforcement agencies will be able to use the money for police officer salary supplements, to purchase or maintain department equipment and/or to establish or maintain a co-responder program. Senate Bill 87, the Jack Hill Veterans' Act, honors the late state Sen. Jack Hill of Reidsville, who died in 2020. It provides income tax credits in exchange for contributions to scholarships for service-disabled veterans through the Technical College System of Georgia Foundation. Another bill that will take effect on Sunday, Senate Bill 332, also known as the Inform Consumers Act, is aimed at preventing criminals from selling goods stolen from retail stores on any online marketing platform. It establishes financial and contact information requirements for high-volume sellers to online marketplaces and requires such platforms to establish an option for consumers to report suspicious activity. Pebblebrook High School's marching band is in New Orleans for one of college football's marquee matchups this weekend. The Mighty Marching Machine is one of the bands invited to play the Sugar Bowl contest between Alabama and Kansas State. Led by Director Eulas Kirtdoll, the band is performing in both the parade and game Saturday afternoon. The band reported on Facebook Thursday they'd loaded up their buses before dawn (call time was 4 a.m.) to make the trek down south. Later that day, they said they'd arrived safely in the Big Easy and were gearing up for Saturday's showcase after performing at Jackson Square downtown. After fundraising for months in the lead-up to the weekend, the band was helped along by a $15,000 donation from Atlanta's Witherite Law Group. This isn't the school's first rodeo on the national stage. In 2018, the band trekked to Chicago to perform in the city's Thanksgiving parade. The parade was yesterday, processing down Decatur Street along New Orleans' French Quarter and ending at Canal Street. The Sugar Bowl, meanwhile, will kick off at noon today and will be broadcasted on ESPN. A procession of cars snaked down Ben King Road in Kennesaw Wednesday night as dozens of families came to revel in holiday lights. With hundreds of thousands of lights twinkling in the darkness, Lights of Joy remains one of Cobb's best light shows — including a tunnel of lights for holiday photo-ops. Lights of Joy can be found at 1510 Ben King Road and has been open every night from 6 p.m. until 11 p.m., with free admission. Its final night will be January 1, New Year's Day. Amani Johnson scored 15 points to break the Kennesaw State Division I career scoring record as the Owls raced past Coastal Georgia 109-53 on Thursday at the KSU Convocation Center. Johnson, who broke the mark previously held by Alexis Poole, finished with her first double-double of the season, also dishing out a career-high 13 assists. The Owls also set a program record for points as six players finished the night in double-digits. Jah'Che Whitfield had a game-high 19 points, Bre'Lyn Snipes scored a career-best 16 points, Lyndsey Whilby and Keyarah Berry chipped in 11 points each and Stacie Jones added 10. The Owls will be back in action Monday as they face the Eastern Kentucky University Colonels. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews - - - - - The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.

This week, we look back at some memorable highlights from 2022 and remember those we've lost. We begin with our 2011 conversation with Tennessee Williams scholar Dr. Kenneth Holditch, who died in December. A professor at the University of New Orleans, Dr. Holditch helped establish festivals honoring Williams' life here and in two other cities. Dr. Holditch shares stories of the Pulitzer-winning playwright, whom he counted among his many friends. Then, we take you back to Jackson Square, where Today Show co-stars Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager tell us what keeps bringing them back to the Crescent City. That's before we visit a place for tourists and locals alike: Vue Orleans. Located at the foot of Canal Street, the 20-million-dollar multimedia experience includes a trip to the 34th floor for a 360-degree view of the city. Finally, we return – with an update – to the backyard garden of Jack Sweeney, a New Orleanian whose okra plant grew so tall that it got the attention of the folks at Guinness World Records.

How to Become Unstoppable in SaaS with TK Kader TK Kader is my latest guest on the @SelfFunded with Spencer podcast, where we discussed his successful track record as a SaaS entrepreneur, his company called "Unstoppable" where he helps other early-stage SaaS business owners scale their companies, as well as the outstanding YouTube channel that has over 36k+ subscribers, 1M+ views, 100k+ hours of watch time. TK is also an incredibly cool and down-to-earth guy, even gracious enough to come on my show after a cold outreach by me! Being that my company Plansight is in the SaaS space, and also that TK is a master of using video content for lead generation, I knew he would make an outstanding guest on my podcast. From his website bio: "TK Kader is an entrepreneur, international best-selling author, and also an angel investor. TK worked at Bridgewater Associates (one of the best hedge funds in the world). He then founded ToutApp (backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Jackson Square, two of the best venture capital firms in the world). TK sold ToutApp to Marketo (then owned by Vista Equity Partners, one of the best private equity firms in the world) and was part of the executive team at Marketo that helped drive its transformation and eventual $4.75bn sale to Adobe. TK now leads the Unstoppable movement to help SaaS Founders build & scale incredible software companies."

It had started like any other day, a widow named Mrs Coplis had hired Shayne to track down one of her boarders who had run away with her copper samovar and he feared the good widows heart, a guy had called to ask his rates for getting divorce evidence against his blond wife and then an old man named Peters came in. The kind of old guy you might see in Jackson Square sleeping on the grass with a newspaper over his face only this old man had a million dollars worth of the biggest pearls Shayne had ever seen in his whole life. . .

If you spend any time working with colleagues on Zoom, or other video platforms, you know there is one main goal all these products are trying to achieve: Real-time collaboration. You're sitting at your desk, or kitchen table, and your colleagues are scattered around the country, or the world. But the conversation, the screen, and the whiteboard you're sharing is meant to create the sense that you're all in the same room. When you actually are in the same room as another person, unless that person is a ventriloquist, when their lips move, words come out of their mouth at the exact same moment. When you're on a video call, the sound of someone's voice frequently reaches you either before or after you see their lips moving. We generally call this, “out of sync.” The technical term for it is, “latency.” Latency can be aggravating. But you put up with it, because in conversation, it's not that big of a deal. But imagine instead of talking to other people, you're playing music with them. You're in your home studio playing a keyboard part. Another person is in their home studio playing a drum part. A third person somewhere else is playing a guitar part. And a fourth person in a 4th location has a vocal track. In this case, latency is not merely an aggravation, it's a monumental issue. Everybody being out of sync with each other makes it impossible to create music together. That's why musicians never collaborate online in real time. The best they can do is record their individual tracks and send them back and forward to each other, each person contributing their part one at a time. It takes days or weeks to complete a single song. If there was a way for musicians to meet online and play together, whoever invented the software that could make that happen would be a superstar in the world of music creation. Well, today that software has a name. It's called DAWn Audio. And the four superstars who created it are right here in New Orleans - including co-founder and CEO of DAWn Audio, Diego Pinzon. Most of us in New Orleans enjoy live music collaboration – but as consumers rather than creators. At live music events there is a very obvious dividing line between creators and consumers. More typically know as “the band” and “the audience.” The band is on stage, and the audience is on the floor, facing them. Other than yelling “Who let the dogs out?” at a Saints game, or singing Christmas carols in Jackson Square, it's hard to think of any place in New Orleans where the dividing line between music creation and music consumption is blurred. Have you been to The Music Box Village? It's in the Bywater. The Music Box Village is a collection of rustic-looking buildings described as “musical architecture.” When you interact with the buildings – either by walking through them, pulling levers, or taking some other action – the buildings make musical sounds. So, a bunch of people strolling through the village create music. The Music Box Village is also a music venue where artists perform. Many of them incorporate the musical buildings into their live performance, reinventing songs in ways that are unique and can be magical and transporting. The Music Box Village is the creation of an organization called New Orleans Airlift, whose wider mission is to promote music collaboration between local New Orleans' musicians and other musicians worldwide. The Co-Founder and Creative Director of New Orleans Airlift, and Music Box Village, is Delaney Martin. Recent research has demonstrated that birds, dolphins, whales, and even cicadas aren't just making sounds to attract mates or warn each other of danger – they also sing collections of notes that can only be described as pieces of music. There's obviously something primal in our desire to make music. If you're a dolphin or a cicada, you have your own particular challenges. But you're free to make music without having to concern yourself with any consideration of copyright, the internet, or online collaboration software. Music-creating and music-appreciating humans have Music Box Village, New Orleans Airlift and DAWn Audio to help both create and appreciate music. Although we're not deputized to speak on behalf of all music-creating-and-appreciating humans, all of us locally wish these companies every success in the future.
