Timestamps (03:07) I've heard there is an almost out-of-control feral cat population in the city. Is this true? What does the city (or local rescues?) do to manage them? What's the state of animal rescue like in the city in general? (04:14) What are the best Creole Italian restaurants? (05:42) With family, a day job, the guidebook, and other interests, where do you find the time to research? (08:01) What episodes are your favorites? Are there any that went way above your expectations as far as learning about the subject and or guest? (12:17) What are some of your favorite childhood memories of growing up in New Orleans? Holidays? (18:24) What are the best places to visit/see/dine in NOLA at Christmastime? (18:40) Mark has talked about Reveillon dinners in a previous episode. Inspired us when visiting Christmastime in 2019. (21:03) I've heard Easter in New Orleans is a great time. Anything specific you'd recommend doing? Eating? Services? Parades? (22:18) What do you recommend to experienced visitors so they can take their appreciation of the city to a new level? (24:39) Is House of Dance and Feathers open? If not, is there any talk of it reopening ? (26:01) Are all the cemeteries open for tours? I remember one being closed indefinitely (28:09) I'm coming for the month of January. Should I plan on it being very rainy ? (28:46) What do you do for work other than keep us all happy ? (29:47) Can you try and get members of Tuba Skinny on the podcast!? (31:18) Why does there seem to be mainly white people (on Frenchmen Street)? The bands often have people of color but looking through my photos there are hardly any black patrons at the Spotted Cat, DBA and so on. (32:31) I would love to hear John Boutte on with you (and one of his sisters or two) or maybe he and Paul Sanchez with you. Click here to visit Paul Sanchez' You Tube channel and his Another Cup of Coffee series. (36:33) There are so many legends, rumors, and conjecture about Marie Laveau. It's hard to separate fact from fiction. The same about Voodoo. Have you done (or do know someone who has) any research on Marie? Where she lived, if she really was Catholic? Or was she really a Voodoo Queen? (38:52) What do most tourists overlook that they shouldn't? (41:36) What is the thing in the city you're MOST excited for when COVID is finally over? (43:24) Please discuss insect life in New Orleans both indoors (and how you might deal with it) and outdoors. Thank you.

About This Episode Today’s episode is about Sicilian Italians and their contributions to food culture in New Orleans. I’m joined by author and professor Justin Nystrom who wrote a book called Creole Italian; Sicilian Immigrants and the Shaping of New Orleans Food Culture. Nystrom’s book was nominated for a James Beard Award in 2019 and helps shine a light on New Orleans food history through the lens of Sicilians. We cover the earliest imports of Sicilian lemons to New Orleans, discuss the French Quarter of the mid 1800s forward, and more. You're sure to see New Orleans food in a different light after this one.   Resources Purchase Justin Nystrom's book, Creole Italian; Sicilian Immigrants and the Shaping of New Orleans Food Culture.

About This Episode Today’s episode is devoted to books about New Orleans. If you’re caught up on Netflix and want to spend some time reading instead, this one’s for you. I recorded this in April 2020. Even if you are listening years from now, this will help you get to know the city better whether you are planning a trip or just wanting to stay connected with New Orleans. We’ve done 110 episodes. Talked to many authors. What (I don’t think I’ve done) is give you book recommendations. That’s what I’ll do today. Here’s what this is not. It is not a top 10 list. It’s not a comprehensive list. It’s just a list of very good books about New Orleans, across several categories. For some reason, this topic makes me nervous. Mostly because I am not good about retention and I know a lot of authors! Let’s see how it goes. This might be a recurring sub-series or it might be a one and done!

WTF just happened? Joel Sharpton from Louisianna produces my podcast each week. We like to get on the phone and chat about stuff. This time we recorded it. :-)

From spirits to hand sanitizer. The world has changed since our last episode just two weeks ago. Today, we’re going to talk about how a couple of local New Orleans businesses are working to help the city respond to the COVID19 pandemic. Join me as I talk with Sal Bivalacqua of Seven Three Distilling and Jess Bourgeois of Lula Restaurant Distillery. These two business owners essentially used their expertise to create a new business in four days, shifting from the manufacture of spirits for drinking to the production of hand sanitizer. We talk alcohol, hand sanitizer, Bourbon and more in this episode of the Beyond Bourbon Street podcast. Resources Check out Seven Three Distilling Company, then be sure to visit when you can. Their website talks about their company name, product offerings, and tour. We'll be doing a Beyond Bourbon Street event there once life returns to normal. Lula Restaurant-Distillery is a unique place to enjoy excellent cuisine with views of a working distillery. We will work with Jess at Lula to host a Beyond Bourbon Street event in the future. Both Lula and Seven Three are currently open for to go purchases. If you are in New Orleans, consider placing an order and supporting them. Here are several articles discussing New Orleans neighborhoods. This is probably worth doing an entire episode about in the future!

In this episode, we once again bring our listeners the latest in the podcasting industry, speaking to Jay Soderberg, aka PodVader, about podcasting networks. Jay is the Executive Producer of the Locked On Podcast Network and co-host of Always Listening with Joel Sharpton. Tuning into the show, you will hear Jay's perspective in Spotify's acquisition of The Ringer, why big companies are buying into the acquisition game, and how Spotify will benefit from producing its own content. We talk briefly about the difference between free and paid podcast platforms and how curating playlists can help shows gain more listeners, and then Jay gives listeners some information about Locked On, including the shows they host and the areas they are hoping to expand on. If you, as a podcaster, are thinking about joining a network, listening to this episode is a must!

Louisiana and the Francophonie Today's episode is about the story behind Louisiana becoming a member of the Francophonie, also known as l'Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie. The Francophonie is comprised of 84 countries, provinces, and one state (Louisiana) whose membership works together to celebrate and preserve French language and culture. To help us learn about the Francophonie and Louisiana's role in it, I'm joined by Scott Tilton and Rudy Bazenet. Scott is a New Orleans native who developed a passion for the French language as a child and led the charge to lobby Louisiana's leadership to apply for admission to the Francophonie. Rudy Bazenet works in the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and partnered with Scott on this project. We discuss the road to membership, Louisiana's rich French history, and more.   Previous Episodes Mentioned St. Bernard Parish Massacre of 1868 - Episode #100 Guidebooks to Sin: the Blue Books of Storyville, New Orleans - Episode #34 The Madams, Music and Musicians of Storyville, New Orleans - Episode #35 Beyond Bourbon Street Sponsors Two Chicks Walking Tours If you love New Orleans, you’ve probably wandered through the Garden District.

Moving to New Orleans Have you ever wanted to move to New Orleans? Wonder where to start and what you need to consider? This is the episode for you!   In today's show, I sit down with three people who made the leap and moved to New Orleans.   Jennifer is a married mother of two young boys. She and her husband Andrew made the move in 2016 and are enjoying raising their kids as New Orleanians.   Terry and his wife Deah could have moved anywhere they wanted. After a bit of reflection, they packed their bags and moved from California to the Crescent City in early 2017.   Lara Beth and Gary fell in love with New Orleans as visitors.

Halloween in New Orleans What better place to enjoy Halloween than in America's most haunted city? Today, we'll be talking about the many fun ways to enjoy Halloween in New Orleans. On today's episode Mark is joined by Brian Kern, who puts on the Carnival-style Krewe of Boo, and by Sidney Smith, owner of Haunted History Tours. You'll learn all about the Krewe of Boo, including how you can take part as a rider, enjoy the parade along the route, or attend the after-party in your favorite spooky costume?  Don't have a costume? We'll help you find one! Are you interested in vampires, Voodoo, and haunted tales? You might want to check out a Haunted History Tour. We're also joined by a special guest who fills us in on the most haunted of New Orleans locations, the LaLaurie Mansion. All this and more on today's show! Things to Do The Krewe of Boo rolls on Saturday, October 21, 2017. The Zombie Run will take place that same day at 9AM. Get all the details about riding in the parade, attending one of the special events, or the race over at KreweofBoo.com Haunted History Tours offers several different types of tours. In addition to tour information, you can purchase a copy of the book New Orleans Ghosts, Vampires and Voodoo by Kalila Smith. If you are in town with young children the weekend of the parade, check out Boo at the Zoo. Our five-year-old twins love it. So do we! The Oak Street Po-Boy Festival takes place on Sunday, October 22, 2017. We also covered the festival back in Episode #1. You can find that one on Apple Podcasts or Stitcher. If you are coming to New Orleans on the weekend before Halloween, you'll want to check out LGBTQ communities events that raise money for Project Lazarus. Frenchmen Street is always a great destination during that weekend and on Halloween night.  The Frenchmen Street Live website is the best place to get updated listings for events. Be sure to check out The Mortuary if you are into haunted houses - the spooky, jump out at you kind! Insider's Tips - take the Canal Street streetcar to get there. Eat at Katie's or Mandina's before or after. If live music and art are your things, then don't miss the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience. Held on the festival grounds at City Park, this three day festival is a fun way to spend the Halloween weekend.

Joel Sharpton fell backward into the radio business and found the perfect platform for his unstoppable motor-mouth. Joel is the host of What Makes Me Weird? and Co-host of Always Listening: Podcast Reviews from Josh and Joel. A voiceover artist, audio editor, audiobook narrator, happy father of four and lucky husband to one, you can find his blog, his podcasts and more at JoelSharpton.com. TWEET: Ep. 55: Joel Sharpton - Networking Helped Open Up Doors For Me Joel Sharpton kept working at it in order to become good at it. By trying a lot of things Joel Sharpton discovered that he wasn’t necessarily good at anything in particular but that he could get better at things by trying them. When Joel first stepped into the realm of radio Joel didn’t believe he had a great voice for radio but he got better and better the more he did it. On this episode of Chasing Dreams, you’re going to hear Joel describe how that process worked in his life and how you can build your skills and find your genius as you go along. How podcasting became a thing for Joel. Joel Sharpton is one of those guys that most of us think we have to be in order to get into podcasting. He had a background in radio so it seemed like a natural fit - and it was. But Joel is the first to tell you that a love for podcasts (not audio or radio) is what got him to create his own podcast. The more he listened the more he realized that he had something to say and that podcasting was the medium he could use to do it. Joel has lots of great advice for those who are considering podcasting so be sure you listen if you’ve even been thinking about trying out podcasting. TWEET: How podcasting became a thing for Joel Sharpton, on this episode “You’re not worried about bothering him, you’re worried about bothering you.” When Joel attended Podcast Movement 2015 he saw someone he had met on social media a few times across the room. His wife encouraged him to introduce himself and say a simple, “Hello.” But Joel’s excuse for not doing it was, “I don’t want to bother him.” That’s when his wife blew up his life and perspective by saying, “You’re not worried about bothering him, you’re worried about bothering you.” It was a push toward discomfort that was really uncomfortable for Joel but opened the door to possibilities that he was keeping himself from. On this episode you’re going to hear the story and how that simple phrase, said by someone who cared about him, changed the way Joel sees networking and connections, forever. Open the doors and allow yourself to meet the opportunities. Too many times the doors of opportunity are closed to us because we don’t even try to open them. That’s what Joel Sharpton was doing to himself by not introducing himself to people he’d already connected with via social media. He learned that taking a step into the unknown (and what could seem risky) is the only way to find out if an opportunity is lurking on the other side of the door. From a few simple and temporarily scary introductions Joel has been able to build an incredible network of people in the podcasting space and many of those connections have turned into lifelong friendships to boot. You can hear how Joel made the most of his own discomfort, on this episode of Chasing Dreams. TWEET: Open the doors and allow yourself to meet the opportunities.
