This month marks 220 years since the ratification of the Louisiana Purchase. In one fell swoop, the United States doubled in size, adding much of the land between the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains. It was also the moment when colonial powers embraced the momentum of westward expansion that ushered in Manifest Destiny, the Indian Removal Act, and other actions that favored European settlement at the expense of the land's original inhabitants. GUESTS Patty Ferguson Bonhee (Pointe-au-Chien), director of the Indian Legal Clinic and Clinical Professor of Law at Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University Dr. Laura Kelley, professor of history at Tulane University Jonathan Rohrer, tribal historic preservation officer for the Caddo Nation

New Orleans and the Gulf South are not known for their great public transit. But some New Orleanians remember a time when the buses in the city were much faster and more reliable. The Gulf States Newsroom's Stephan Bisaha and Carly Berlin report on the region's hopes for a better bus future while it deals with today's transit problems. In December of last year, we carried a piece detailing the journey of one violin. For centuries, luthiers – caretakers of acoustic instruments – have worked to keep these instruments in top form. Today we encore a presentation of One Violin's Story, featuring luthier John Keller and violinist Kevin Mah. Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, so we decided to take this time to look back on the history of the Irish community throughout the state. Dr. Laura Kelley, historian and author of The Irish in New Orleans, tells us more about Irish immigration history in Louisiana. But before we go, we'll hear from commentator Ronnie Virgets, who was a popular voice on our airwaves before his death in 2021. His colorful takes on life in Louisiana celebrate many of the quirks that come with living here. This particular piece recalls his early effort at being a salesman.

It's not Mardi Gras, but it's definitely the season of festivals! Between a Tunica-Biloxi basket weaving summit, Dia de los Muertos, and of course, Halloween, there's a lot to celebrate.  Historian Dr. Laura Kelley tells us more about how all of these fall celebrations are centered around the changing seasons and the harvest, and basket weaver Elizabeth Pierite Mora gives us some insight into the traditional tribal craft. Then, Susan Larson, host of “The Reading Life,” helps explain the cultural significance of the upcoming Louisiana Book Festival.But first, how do you solve a problem like Jackson's failing water infrastructure, which recently left hundreds of thousands of people without safe tap water for over a month? Well for some, like the suburb of Byram, Mississippi, the solution is to go their own way. But the Gulf States Newsroom's Stephan Bisaha reports that, according to experts, the answer isn't water independence, but cooperation.

This programme explores the fascinating story of the Irish funeral tradition. It traces its history from the neolithic to the present to find out what practices continued from the ancient world through the rise of the Catholic funeral rite to today's #FuneralSelfies. Historians, archeologists, folklorists and those who work in the death business shine a light on the Wake and its export to America, the forbidden practice of keening and the extraordinary sexualised funeral games played in rural Ireland. I would like to sincerely thank all those who agreed to take part in the programme. Many thanks to Dr Maeve Sikora, Dr Ned Kelly, Dr Stephen Harrison, Dr Jenny Butler, Clodagh Doyle, Michelle Collins, Dr Laura Kelley, Michael Burke, Dr Ciaran Wallace, Dr Lisa Marie Griffith, Gus Nichols and Peadar Farrelly and Dublin City FM.

This week, we are headed straight to the living room. But we don't mean the living room in your house; we're talking about the nearest Irish Pub In honor of St. Patrick's Day, Louisiana Eats is exploring all things Irish. Tulane History Professor and author of the new book The Irish in New Orleans, Laura Kelley gives us a history of Irish immigrants in the Crescent City and how they influenced Louisiana culture in some unexpected ways. Irish immigrants and owners of Finn McCool's, Pauline and Stephen Patterson discuss the process of building a traditional Irish Pub from the ground up, and why the pub is such an essential part of Irish culture. Nell Boyle, owner of Henry's Uptown Bar, talks about owning and operating a bar that has been in her family for four generations, and why marrying an Irish gypsy isn't such a bad idea. If you wanted to put something in your stomach before you start drinking this St. Patrick's Day, perhaps you should consider the Full Irish breakfast. Scott Gold describes his discovery and love affair with the delicious and calorific meal. We've also got some recipes for both your plate and your glass Shepherd's Pie Brown some ground beef or lamb with a chopped onion Add a touch of red wine and some herbs 1 table spoon of tomato paste or ketchup

Garum is one of those ancient foods that everyone seems to have heard of. It is usually described as “fermented fish guts,” or something equally unappealing, and people often call it the Roman ketchup, because they used it so liberally on so many things. Fermented fish guts is indeed accurate, though calculated to distance ourselves from it. And garum is just one form of fermented fish; there’s also liquamen, muria. allec and haimation. All this I learned from Laura Kelley, author of The Silk Road Gourmet. Unlike most of the people who opine on garum, and who offer recipes for quick garum, she painstakingly created the real deal. She is also convinced that it isn’t really Roman in origin. We only think of it that way because history is written by the victors not the vanquished. And then there's the whole question of the Asian fish sauces, Vietnamese nước mắm and the rest of them. Independent discovery, or copied from the Romans? Notes Laura gives a full blow-by-blow on her website. Copying her is probably the only way to produce something that approximates genuine garum. She also mentioned colatura, a fish sauce still made in Italy. I haven’t tried it, although it is available, at least in the US, by mail order.

This happy hour podcast is with my friend Laura Kelley. Laura and I have never met in person, but we've been friends on the internet for a while. Laura is so stinking sweet and one of those people that I love to see her family. She blogs about her family, her craftiness, and all in between. I have used her for many gift ideas. I love all the name pillows that she's making these days! Hello baby shower gift! Her family does an amazing thing during the Advent season. They call it KINDNESS ADVENT and they spend the entire month blessing others. Laura said someone encouraged her after he mom died through a grief devotional that said, "Sometimes you have no idea what to do for yourself, but you can always do for others." That statement led her and her husband, Josh, to begin their kindness advent time each December. Laura's mom passed away a few years ago and she shares what that has meant for her kids as she parented them through this trial.

This week on A Taste of the Past, Linda explores the history of Rhubarb and other foods of The Silk Road with Laura Kelley, author and food historian. Laura tells us about how so many foods were originally used as medicine, and the lines between food and medicine have become much more clear over the years. This program has been sponsored by Rolling Press. Today’s music provided by Pamela Royal. “Most cinnamon we see on the shelves today labelled cinnamon isn’t really cinnamon.” [15:00] “You have to really try to kill a chili plant.” [24:30] –Laura Kelley on A Taste of the Past
