Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 8, where witness intimidation is the featured crime. This is Ace of Hearts by Margaret S. Hamilton“Ace of Hearts” is Margaret S. Hamilton's third published short story set in New Orleans, a city she knows and loves, from the manicured acres of City Park to the potholed streets of the Lower Garden District. New Orleans is a city defined by food: fried oyster po'boys, Abita beer, beignets, and chicory coffee. A city of haunting jazz melodies and spectacular Mardi Gras parades. A city that survives adversity and thrives, like Calliope Hebert, the main character of this story.DELIBERATIONCallie is on a tight timeline with no room for error. She needs our help if she's going to find the flash drive and save her mother. There are the potential locations for the flash drive:House of Rising Sun Dress sign, outside the door to Mama's apartmentKrewe stiletto heel, in the dining room on the shelvesPin cushion, kept on Mama's bedside tableLipstick tube, given by Mama's sisterBroken flashlight, stored in Mama's bedroom Here are the clues Callie has to work with:Ace downloaded business records from John Readon to a flash drive before he disappeared last SpringMama sold the house and moved the family to the duplex. The furniture is new. Only personal items and Mama's dress business were movedCallie saw Mama shove something into the side of the house when she was hanging up her business signCallie's aunt gave Mama the tube of lipstick when she came to the partyThe pin cushion was in the draw where Callie found the queen of hearts playing cardThe flashlight Callie tried to use when the lights went out didn't turn on and sounded like there was something loose inside.When Callie asked her mother about the things Ace left, she didn't seem to know where the information was. The only thing Ace said was “think about our wedding day.”The Reardon's reported a rumor that the flash drive was hidden in the Krewe stilettos.Where should Callie look for the flash drive? About Witness IntimidationWitness intimidation is as old as crime itself. And it actually is a crime – witness intimidation, witness tampering. From the attorney general of Pennsylvania comes the very recent case of Dushawn Ellis who was facing charges of human trafficking. While in jail, he put out a $20,000 hit on the witness. Ellis approached another inmate of the county prison who knew the witness and used that connection and the bounty to video chat with the witness and personally make the threat. The witness held their ground and Ellis was charged with two counts of felony witness intimidation and one count of obstruction of justice. He was convicted by a jury in February 2024, was sentences to 8 ½ to 22 years. The original human trafficking was ongoing as of that time.

Send us a textHoly smokes you guys. This show is the epitome of Mardi Gras! Super Artist, Becky Fos' canvases depict radiant, deep-hued oysters in a rainbow of colors too beautiful to eat, and her pelicans and alligators are adorned with crowns, celebrating their iconic status. These hallmarks capture the imaginations of collectors around the world.Fos herself embodies—and her artwork mirrors— the profound joie de vivre that defines New Orleans. “When people see my art I hope that they experience joy and escape the reality of what they are going through and enter a technicolor world filled with all things happy,” she explains. “Sort of like in the Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy clicks her heels and she is transported into the land of Oz. There is so much sadness and hatred in the world, so I would love to be an ambassador of color for humanity to make the world a brighter, happier place.” Listening to Becky as she so passionately opened up to me really touched my heart. In a world of darks and grays- be neon. I HIGHLY recommend checking out Becky Fos' gallery at 2138 Magazine Street in New Orleans!Yall listen to this! Inspiration can be found anywhere.

Larry Rolling from the Krewe of Bogue Fayala joins Scoot to talk about their parade in Covington on the North Shore.

On today's show, Scoot talks about rumors that Taylor Swift is considering motherhood, Mayor Cantrell's $20 million public school funding debacle, and Donald Trump's $5 million gold card for citizenship, the possibility of putting Trump's face on a $250, and people giving Amanda Shaw a hard time for going to Nashville.

It's Thursday and that means it's time to catch up on the week in politics with The Times-Picayune/The Advocate's editorial director and columnist, Stephanie Grace. Today we discuss new security protocols for parades and new legislation about parade-goer encampments. “A cultural revolution on wheels.” That's how the Krewe of Alla describes its Mardi Gras parade this year. Named in honor of Algiers, Louisiana, the 93-year-old New Orleans Krewe rolled this week, and at its helm were Gian Durand and James Carter, the krewe's first ever Black Queen and King. Durand and Carter spoke with WRKF's Karen Henderson about their  historic first.If you've ever woken up at dawn on Mardi Gras day and gone to see the Krewe of Skull and Bones in the Treme Neighborhood, then you might recognize Voodoo Queen Kalindah Laveaux blessing the morning. Or perhaps you recognize her from the Mardi Gras Indian tribe, the Yellow Pocahontas or for holding community rituals on Sundays with her snake in Congo Square. As a local New Orleanian and descendant of local legends, Queen Kalindah brings spiritualism and cultural traditions to the city, year round. She joins us to discuss  the spiritual underpinnings of Fat Tuesday, and give a drum performance alongside Lola Bolivar. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich.

We have been asking the question for months, and finally we're within days or – at most – a couple of weeks – of the answer: Will Derek Carr be the quarterback of the New Orleans Saints on Opening Day 2025 in September? Is there any better question to discuss on the Season 4 finale of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 349) presented by Evangeline Securities? Host Jim Derry takes dozens of comments and questions from interested viewers and listeners and brings in WWL-TV sports director Doug Mouton to discuss it and to share how impressed they are thus far with new coach Kellen Moore. Jim also has Wednesdays with Gabe Henderson to discuss the Carr situation and how the team could possibly handle his salary and potential moves toward the cap hurt. Lastly, Jim shares some personal information and some great family news and gives a little preview to his upcoming ride in the Krewe of Endymion on Saturday.

Plastic beads remain a staple at most big Carnival parades, but there's a growing number of New Orleans krewes that want to ban them due to environmental concerns. Producer Matt Bloom went to the Krewe of Freret's parade, where leaders made plastic beads off limits for the first time – and found some eco-friendly alternatives. “Back to the Future: The Musical”, Alicia Keys' “Hell's Kitchen” and “The Great Gatsby” headline the 2025-26 Broadway season in New Orleans. David Skinner, general manager at the Saenger Theatre, tells us all about the musicals on deck for the upcoming season.  Horses are a staple of Mardi Gras parades, but sometimes those horses don't have a place to go after the parades are over. But the Humane Society of Louisiana has a program to help these horses get adopted, complete with a Facebook page with pictures of the horses looking for homes. HSLA board member Rena Sweeney tells us more about the Mardi Gras Horse Adoption program and volunteer opportunities.__Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Diane Mack.

Happy Mardi Gras everybody. Things are winding up or winding down to Fat Tuesday on March 4th 2025…Depending on how you look at it. And who better to help us find out all about the big fun here in the Big Rainy is Steve Kerin, keyboardist and co-founder of the Misty Krewe of Nimbus, our own Portland Mardi Gras Krewe, Steve Kerin. The Krewe is throwing their annual Mardi Gras Ball at the Wonder Ballroom on Saturday, March first and then on Mardi Gras day it'll be time for their big Parade. That's when the big bass drum leads the big parade Paul K Ward is producing today's episode, he's at the controls at his studioblue…one word all lower case and a big thank you to him for helping to pull the podcast out of hiatis hell while I recover. I'm at my desk in Northwest Portland, and Steve Kerin is at home in NE Portland. Steve, Hey now and Happy Mardi Gras!

Mardi Gras is just around the corner. That means king cake lovers only have a matter of days remaining to enjoy a slice of the beloved Carnival treat before Lent begins. But how do you pick the right king cake for you? With hundreds of varieties to choose from, it can be a daunting task. For this week's show, we've reached out to some king cake experts for help. We begin with Sami Messerle, also known as Instagram's Krewe du King Cake. Sami discusses her undying love of the official Mardi Gras pastry and fills us in on what's new and interesting this season. Next, we speak with Matt Haines, author of The Big Book of King Cake – a weighty tome that is virtually the bible on the seasonal topic. Matt uncovered amazing historical facts and chronicled the lives and cakes of 75 bakers while writing his coffee table book. Finally, we meet Patrick Bordnick. Like Pavlov's dog before them, Patrick's canine companions have been conditioned to salivate whenever they encounter king cake. For nearly every day of the Mardi Gras season, Patrick and his pups sample a new cake and rate it. Patrick then posts their conclusions on his Instagram page, where the whole family enjoys a following. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

When Donald Trump was elected president in November, one of his main campaign platforms was cracking down on immigration, calling for the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.

But because of the New Year's Day attack on Bourbon Street, the city is requiring more police officers on routes— which means higher costs. The Gulf States Newsroom's Drew Hawkins reports on how smaller, independent parades are vital in New Orleans — and how these costs impact them.___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Ryan Vasquez.

610. Join us this week as David Snow tells us about English traveler David Ingram. "In The Extraordinary Journey of David Ingram, author Dean Snow rights the record on a shipwrecked sailor who traversed the length of the North American continent only to be maligned as deceitful storyteller. In the autumn of 1569, a French ship rescued David Ingram and two other English sailors from the shore of the Gulf of Maine. The men had walked over 3000 miles in less than a year after being marooned near Tampico, Mexico. They were the only three men to escape alive and uncaptured, out of a hundred put ashore at the close of John Hawkins's disastrous third slaving expedition.

The following day, January 26, 1837, 2,000 copies were printed and sold. It was the first New Orleans newspaper to sell for less than a dime. A picayune (a Spanish coin) equaled about 6 1/4 cents. This week in Louisiana. The Krewe du Vieux French Quarter (Vieux Carré) 6:30 pm, Saturday, February 15, 2025 Royal & Homer Plessy Way to Andrew Higgens. Parade Route here.     When the Krewe of Clones (founded in 1978) decided to become more respectable, Craig "Spoons" Johnson and Don Marshall decided to keep the parade's original raucous, art-inspired spirit alive by starting Krewe du Vieux Carré.     At first, the ragtag krewe had 16 subkrewes, and a collection of mule-drawn or hand-pulled handmade floats. But by 2001, KdV had its first title float, and its membership was growing. Its numerous subkrewes with names like Krewe of C.R.U.D.E., Krewe of L.E.W.D. and Mystic Krewe of Spermes meet in the "Den of Muses," a warehouse space, to bring together their costumes and floats.      In 2006, KdV was the first parade to march post-Katrina, and garnered national attention for its tenacity and lightheartedness in the face of tragedy. That year's theme was "C'est Levee." Other themes over the years have included "Habitat for Insanity" and "Where the Vile Things Are." Their after party is called "The Krewe du Vieux Doo."      Today Krewe du Vieux is loved for its wild satire, adult themes, and political comedy, as well as for showcasing some of the best brass and jazz bands in New Orleans.

The New Orleans Public Library first opened its doors to the public on January 18, 1897.  The system began in 1896 as the Fisk Free and Public Library in a building on Lafayette Square. Abijah Fisk was a merchant who, over fifty years earlier, had left his house—at the corner of Iberville and Bourbon Streets—to the city for use as a library. Subsequent donations had resulted in libraries and collections not completely free and open to the citizenry. An 1896 city ordinance proposed by Mayor John Fitzpatrick combined the Fisk collection with a newer municipal library. It eventually became known as the New Orleans Public Library. This week in Louisiana.  The Krewe of Majestic Parade 11:00 am, January 25, 2025 Peter Atkins Park Parade Route Here Covington, LA      On January 25, 2025, the Krewe of Majestic will roll for the first time in Covington.
