"My first memories of New Orleans were made fifty years ago during a family vacation to the city when I was seven years old. I remember a frenzied evening march down a crowded Bourbon Street holding onto my parent's hand for safety. In the cacophony emanating from the clubs and bars onto the street one sound stood out to me. It was the plunk of the traditional jazz banjo keeping the beat amongst the chaos.  "I chose to incorporate the sound of the jazz banjo into the New Orleans field recording to add rhythm to the commotion of voices and announcements in the streetcar. Along with adding some banjo strums, I sent the sound of the instrument through an envelope follower and used the generated control voltage to modulate the amplitude of the sound of the field recording to create another rhythmic track. The resultant work reimagines the city through the filter of my sonic memory." Streetcar in New Orleans reimagined by Pierrot Desperes.

Riding a classic New Orleans streetcar.  Recorded by Alex Clifford.

Most of us shy away from bugs, snakes, and all things creepy crawly. But for Tucson artist and zookeeper Courtney Christie, these misunderstood creatures are a source of wonder, inspiration, and beauty. In this episode of Life Along the Streetcar, host Tom Heath sits down with Courtney to explore her unique journey. From studying criminal justice to caring for reptiles at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, she has transformed her love of wildlife into powerful and educational artwork. Through vivid paintings, intricate stickers, and even giant bug murals, Courtney invites us to look closer and rethink what we fear. Her story is a celebration of the Sonoran Desert, the wild things that call it home, and the magic that happens when science and creativity meet. Come for the art, stay for the stories, and maybe leave with a newfound appreciation for centipedes.

In this special episode of Life Along the Streetcar, hosts Tom Heath and Amanda Mourelatos sit down with Tyler Meier, Executive Director of the University of Arizona Poetry Center, to explore how poetry breathes life into the heart of Tucson. Tyler shares his personal journey — from being inspired by a high school teacher, to writing poetry while working construction, to leading one of the largest and most vibrant poetry centers in the country. Through his story, we discover how poetry is not just words on a page, but a living energy that can transform lives and communities. We dive into the rich history of the UA Poetry Center, founded in 1960 through community passion, and how it grew into a nationally renowned literary haven right here in Tucson. Tyler paints a vivid picture of the Center's stunning, welcoming space — where books line open shelves, visiting poets find a home away from home, and poetry readings create "duets with the train" passing by. But the Center's reach goes beyond its walls. Tyler shares how programs like the Haiku Hike bring poetry into the streets of downtown Tucson, fostering a sense of belonging and connection for all. This episode captures the soul of what makes Tucson's literary scene so special: a deep commitment to creativity, inclusivity, and the power of words to unite and inspire. ✨ Whether you're a longtime poetry lover or simply curious about the magic happening right off the streetcar line, this episode invites you to see Tucson — and perhaps yourself — a little differently.

Arthur shares how his years performing and working at the iconic Village Vanguard inspired the design, sound, and soul of this Downtown gem.

Portlander Cameron Booth is mostly known for his blog Transit Maps, which reviews and showcases public transit maps from bygone eras to modern day systems. But for nearly a year now, Booth has been making sure one piece of Portland’s history is not forgotten: street cars. From its beginnings in 1872 to the modern system, Booth has been archiving and cataloging information he finds on his new website, Portland Streetcar History. We hear from Booth to learn more on why he started this project and the importance street cars had in shaping the city. 

   The Music City Bowl is set to kickoff Monday and marks the final time Brady Cook is under center for the Missouri Tigers.  While trying to convince everyone how important it is for Mizzou to get back to back 10 win seasons, coach Eli Drinkwitz let out the truth.  It's glorious.    39th president Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100.  History will remember him well as a human being but if we're being fair, we should never forget how bad he was at his job.    All those empty streetcars sliding around KC actually charge big money to put your business logo on them, wait until you hear how much it costs according the the KC Biz Journal.    The Chiefs are computer faves to win the Super Bowl but that still makes them a longshot at this point.  I've got the percentage chance they pull off the three-peat.    Do you want Denver or Cincinnati in the playoffs?  What do you think Andy Reid thinks and what might he do to make sure the Bengals don't get in?     Drew Lock as a day for the ages in New York and Gracie Hunt has found her a man.

The knee-jerk reaction by way too many in the wake of the UnitedHealthcare CEO's murder is ignorant and misguided.  I give you plenty of reasons why before we move on to a few other things, including the latest on Omaha's streetcar that will snarl traffic right around the time we're voting for mayor!

In mid-November, the Portland City Council approved a 1.3-mile extension of the Portland Streetcar in Northwest Portland to service anticipated housing development near the Montgomery Park building. Council members assumed that the streetcar is a critical mobility option for Portland residents, but the facts suggest otherwise. According to TriMet, monthly ridership in 2024 has been 39% lower than ridership during 2018, despite a rise in population during that period. The Streetcar is simply irrelevant to most residents. It's a low-speed, low-capacity, high-cost method of travel that doesn't go many places. Even for those who love trains, the Streetcar is not practical for most trips. Historically, Streetcar construction has been paid for by various sources including property owners, parking revenues, and grants. Federal money is always the linchpin. Portland expects to submit a large grant request to the federal government no later than June of next year; but with the election of Donald Trump, those subsidies might not be available.

   There's never been a more Bill Self-like trademark win that KU's victory over Duke in Las Vegas Tuesday night.  They were tough and won with lockdown defense in the final 3:00 minutes.  Because, of course they did.  They have so much in common with the Chiefs in their ability to win games at the end.    Chiefs lineman Tershawn Wharton kept a falling kid from hitting the ground after the game at Carolina last week and his actions have gone viral.  Now he wants to do more for the little boy.    Public transportation in KCMO is a hot mess as "ambassadors" will now be packing heat in the street cars.  At the same time, www.tonyskansascity.com points out the free bus rides have caused crime and mayhem to thrive.    Was Kamala Harris drunk while making a video for her supporters this week?  It seriously looked like an internet AI fake but was real.  She needs to go away fast.     Joe Biden is trying to spend as much money as he can on his way out the door to create trouble for Trump... what a legacy to leave.     The new NIH Director is uncancelled, a former hockey player fights 6 drunk golfers at a restaurant in Scottsdale and Formula One racing makes an announcement that's really strange and vague.
