On this episode of Discover Lafayette, we welcome Deb and Paul Lindsay, the enthusiastic co-chairs of the Books Along the Teche Literary Festival, which celebrates its 10th anniversary April 10–12, 2026 in downtown New Iberia. Centered around the Sliman Theater, Shadows-on-the-Teche, and other historic sites, this year's festival brings together literature, music, food, history, and community for a full weekend of programming. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Rick Bragg is being celebrated as the 2026 Great Southern Writer, with sessions, book signings, museum tours, a book fair, and more planned throughout the weekend. Deb and Paul's story is, in many ways, a love letter to Acadiana. They were living in Guanajuato, Mexico when Deb's health concerns prompted them to consider returning to the United States. As Paul explains, they began researching Acadiana after learning Lafayette had been named “the happiest city in the USA.” Deb knew what she wanted: “I want to go someplace where there's nice people, kind people. I want to go someplace where they have great food, and I want to go someplace where they have great music, great culture.” Their conclusion? “We hit a trifecta.” Deb and Paul LIndsey are pictured in Guanajuato, Mexico in 2019. The couple had no roots in the region and no contacts here when they first began exploring south Louisiana. But a chance stop on Main Street in New Iberia on June 25, 2022, changed everything. While reading the trilingual plaque near the Bayou Teche Museum, they were approached by Cathy Indest of the Iberia Cultural Resources Association, who asked, “Y'all aren't from around here, are you?” That unexpected conversation led to an invitation to come back for the literary festival, and eventually to a much bigger decision. Back in Mexico, the Lindsays decided to do more than simply visit. They would return to volunteer and sponsor the festival as part of what Paul called an exploratory trip. They came for the 2023 festival, met local leaders and volunteers, and quickly found themselves embraced by the community. A memorable and funny festival incident sealed the deal. While attempting Cajun dance lessons, Deb became so dizzy that she had to be helped to a chair and then to an ambulance for evaluation. Paul, not yet realizing how serious things were, responded to a warning from a concerned helper who said, “Your wife is bad,” with the now legendary line: “I'm sorry, but she's always been a bad dancer.” What stayed with them most was not the scare, but the care. Paul recalls that neighbors and new friends, including Wyatt and Becky Collins, immediately stepped in to help, offering to follow him to the hospital and even opening their home if needed. Others checked on Deb throughout the night. “To me, that sealed the deal,” Paul says, “because those are the kind of people I want to be around now.” Deb adds that Acadiana's warmth is more than politeness: “I'm not sure that people in Acadiana fully appreciate just how special the culture of caring for others really is. It is endemic here. It is just part of how people are.” That sense of belonging deepened quickly. The Lindsays moved to New Iberia in October 2023 and were immediately drawn into the life of the community, volunteering at local events and building friendships that made them feel at home. Deb notes, “We have chosen to be here because, as Paul said, we feel like we hit the trifecta.” Their affection for New Iberia and the wider Acadiana region comes through clearly in this conversation, as does their gratitude for the people who welcomed them in. That spirit of welcome is central to the mission of the Books Along the Teche Literary Festival, which Deb describes as preserving “the legacy of Southern storytelling through literature, culture, and community.” The 2026 schedule reflects just how broad that vision has become: guided tours at the Bayou Teche Museum and Shadows-on-the-Teche, free literary sessions at the Sliman Theater, a children's book fair, a Main Street book fair, and multiple ticketed food-and-music experiences designed to bring people together. A major draw this year is Rick Bragg, the festival's 2026 Great Southern Writer. The festival describes Bragg as a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author whose writing captures “the struggles and strength of Southern life,” and notes that he continues to teach at the University of Alabama. Paul shares that he reached Bragg personally after recognizing in his writing a deep connection to family, resilience, and Southern roots. That conversation led Bragg to accept the invitation, telling Paul, “You've made me laugh more in the last 40 minutes than I have in probably a year.” Bragg will appear for both a symposium and a special book club-style event during the weekend. Deb speaks beautifully about why Bragg matters. Though memoir was not previously her preferred genre, she says his storytelling changed that. His books about family and ordinary Southern people, she says, “remind us of our shared humanity, something especially needed in these divided times.” That human-centered view of literature runs through the entire festival. Jane and Scott Wolfe of Melba’s Po Boys in New Orleans The opening Friday session features Jane and Scott Wolfe of the infamouse Melba's Po Boys in New Orleans, who will discuss entrepreneurship, perseverance, literacy, and community. Festival listings describe their presentation as “Building Perseverance and Community: How Two Teenagers Created a Life Inside Small Business in New Orleans.” Deb and Paul highlight Jane Wolfe's remarkable path from earning her GED to studying at Tulane and later Harvard Divinity School, as well as her role in literacy work through Melba's. Published sources confirm that Jane Wolfe received the 2024 Light Up for Literacy Award from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities for her work with Eat and Read at Melba's, and that she is a graduate of both Tulane and Harvard Divinity School. The 2026 schedule also reflects the festival's wide-ranging curiosity. Friday includes a session on the Creole lineage of Pope Leo XIV, a discussion with romance author Juliette Cross, and a closing session on Carville and Hansen's disease. Saturday brings the Dave Robicheaux Readers Theater, a Rick Bragg book club, a session on Louisiana Black Creole Trail Riders, a program on Black female jazz singers, a Swamp Pop-themed session, and Bragg's major symposium and signing. The Children's Book Fair and the Main Street Book Fair, making the festival accessible to readers of all ages. Beyond the literary sessions, the weekend is intentionally immersive. Friday night's ticketed event, “A Novel Evening in Prose and Pours,” unfolds beneath the oaks at Shadows-on-the-Teche and includes food, drink, music, and time for festivalgoers to mingle with authors in a relaxed setting. Saturday morning introduces “Beignets & Beats, A Cajun Breakfast Jam” at Bambino's, while Saturday night has been reimagined as “Swamp Sounds: A Swamp Pop Revival,” complete with dance lessons and live music from The Revelers. The weekend closes with Symphony Sunday in the Park, a free outdoor performance by the Acadiana Symphony Orchestra in New Iberia's City Park on Sunday, April 12 at 3:00 p.m. It is a free concert under the oaks, continuing a long-running partnership between the Symphony and New Iberia. What makes this interview especially meaningful is hearing why Deb and Paul have poured themselves into the festival. Deb says the literary festival “has a special place in my heart, just because it's what brought us to Louisiana in the first place.” She sees their work as “a way of saying ‘we feel like we're a part of the community. We owe the community.” Paul echoes that sentiment and says what he loves most is that books can bring people together across differences: “It doesn't matter who you voted for; it's about coming together with common bonds and trying to learn from each other and listen to each other.” Their vision extends beyond one April weekend. They are exploring interim events throughout the year and building stronger partnerships with other Louisiana book festivals, including those in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, with the goal of strengthening audiences and collaboration rather than competing against one another. That cooperative spirit feels very much in keeping with what they have come to love about this region. As Deb and Paul make clear, the Books Along the Teche Literary Festival is about far more than books alone. It is about story, hospitality, history, music, place, and the kind of human connection that turns visitors into neighbors. Or, as Deb puts it, “It's a terrific place to be.” For festival details, schedules, and tickets, the primary website is BooksAlongTheTecheLiteraryFestival.com; BayouBookFest.com also redirects there. The festival is largely free, with select ticketed food and music events available through the website. Published festival and tourism pages confirm the event dates, venues, and the weekend's featured programming. Thanks to Deb and Paul Lindsey for their commitment to the arts, culture and community! They are eloquent spokespersons for their new home, Acadiana!

Nils Hansson är krautrockaren och musikjournalisten som nuförtiden rattar den sköna Namn och Nytt-sidan i DN, en av de sista platserna i svensk press där kåserier, skämtteckingar, kuriositeter och rent larv regerar. Men när Nisse gästar DJ 50 Spänn blir det action på grammofonen. Han snurrar snabbgrävd junkvinyl från en trottoar på Söder och ur munnen strömmar en strid ström av låtreferenser, rockhistorisk rottrådar och musikaliska visdomar.  Vi diggar det ettriga draget i en Dr. Hook-banger och djupdyker i bandets förkärlek för gräsrökarbuskis. Lärdom: ibland är det bra att vara dum i huvudet! Vi avnjuter också ”Estlands Bo Hansson”. Som tyvärr bara verkar existera i en enda låt. Men vilken låt! Vi diggar den texanske smörsångaren Freddy Fender och filosoferar över Swamp Pop, den amerikanska urkällan till den svenska dansbandsmusiken. Sjukt nog. En Rupert Hine-platta framkallar tankar om höga produktionsbudgetar, Kjell Alinges lyxjazziga ordkonster och dystopiskt blå neon som speglas på nyregnad asfalt. Till sist blir det som på vilken efterfest som helst. Den högexplosiva holländska symfproggen åker fram. Vilket leder till långa diskussioner om fräna upprockningar av klassisk musik. Rik van der Lindens prog-adaption av Gammal fäbodpsalm nämns, bland många andra storverk. Ja, ni hajar. Tryck på play och njut av en dryg timme full av musikaliska upplevelser och djupa insikter. Såna här musikprogram får du tamefan ingen annanstans.

Swamp pop. What is it and where does Tex Mex begin and country blues end? Well, just listen for that Louisiana backbeat, a taste of torch song and rocking rhythm. We'll take on the music of Tex Mex next week but this week we'll be sampling some of the greats of that splinter genre referred to as ‘swamp pop'; music that was grafted from a number of different root source sounds. Swamp pop remains an important cultural expression of the Acadiana region, celebrated for its heartfelt and nostalgic qualities. While it never achieved the widespread commercial success of other genres, swamp pop has maintained a dedicated following and continues to be performed by contemporary musicians. We'll share the sounds of some of the genre's most popular:  Warren Storm, Tommy McLain, Rod Bernard, Clint West and so many others. Drop on by.

Raised in Lafayette, Louisiana but based in New Orleans, Doug Belote is one of the most in demand drummers on the scene today. He has played or recorded with too many musicians to name but some of these include Jerry Douglas, Derrick Trucks, Dr. John, John Oates, Robben Ford, Charlie Hunter, Anders Osborne, Ryan Cavanaugh, and many more (including yours truly). Doug can play anything, from the most avant garde jazz to a rock solid train beat. Take a listen to Doug's musical story, some of his concept about locking in a groove but playing in the cracks, as well as one of the most hillarious stories about how he got hired to be Jerry Douglas' (the dobro player) drummer and how he thought he was trying out for the Jerry Reed gig!

"Franc Moody" is an electronic/dance/funk duo made up of Ned Franc and Jon Moody.The pair began their musical journey in separate bands, often playing what they call "Swamp Pop", a big-band style fusion of traditional rhythm and blues and country. They would play this music together with a collective of other musicians in a warehouse venue they dubbed "The Arch", where late nights and a rave-like atmosphere were common.From those early days, Ned and Jon decided to join forces, crafting their own unique sound of uplifting, dance orientated disco vibes.Join Jay and Jesse as they discuss the music and creative approaches of London's "Franc Moody"."Roots to Grooves" is a production of SIGNL.https://www.signlradio.comhttps://www.instagram.com/signlradiohttps://www.twitter.com/signlradiohttps://www.facebook.com/signlradiohttps://www.mixcloud.com/signlhttps://open.spotify.com/user/96mhz6qfjoztxbl2dpm0uj903?si=aAZpsoEnRAKdx85kr1QWhg

Down Home Cajun Music- Folk-Star RecordsOn this episode of the podcast we look at Folk-Star Records. Eddie Shuler first started Goldband to promote his own band; the labels first releases from 1945 to 1951 were of his own. He started Folk-Star in 1949 to promote Iry LeJeune; as Eddie thought Cajun music to be "folk music". But like Goldband; it turned out to a label of a variety of music. The labels first releases were of Cajun, Hillbilly, Early Zydeco and Swamp Pop. After Iry's death, he recorded the first recordings of Sidney Brown, Boozoo Chavis and Cleveland Crochet on Folk-Star. He seemed to revive the Folk-Star label in the 1960's to promote artists such as Robert Bertrand, John Oliver and Phil Menard. The label lasted well into the 1960's and Eddie came up with even more labels to keep the jukeboxes filled. Iry LeJeune and his Lacassine Playboys- Lacassine Special (Folk-Star 100)Iry LeJeune and his Lacassine Playboys- Te Mone (Folk-Star 101)"Te" Joe Manuel and his Melody Boys- Your Papa Threw Me Out (Folk-Star 102)"Te" Joe Manuel and his Melody Boys- Since The Age of 14 (Folk-Star 102)Little Francis and Louisiana Rhythmiers- Smiling Pines (Folk-Star 109)Sidney Brown and his French Accordion- Sha Ba-Ba (Folk-Star 1132)Sidney Brown and his French Accordion- Love Lane Waltz (Folk-Star 1132) Cleveland Crochet's Hillbilly Ramblers- Deedle-E-Deedle-D-Da (Folk-Star 1191)Cleveland Crochet's Hillbilly Ramblers- Big Boy Waltz (Folk-Star 1191)Boozoo Chavis- Forty One Days (Folk-Star 1201)Boozoo Chavis- Bye Bye Catin (Folk-Star 1201)Wayne Hebert & The Hathaway Playboys- Promise I Made (Folk-Star 1206)Phil Menard & His Cajun Five- My Mama and Mama (Folk-Star 1209)Phil Menard & The Louisiana Travelers- La Sha Chere (Folk-Star 1210)Phil Menard, Don Guillory and the Louisiana Travelers- D & M Special (Folk-Star 1212)John Oliver and his Louisiana Ramblers- Uncle John Special (Folk-Star 1211)*All selections from the original 78 and 45 rpm records.* Thanks to John Leger for use of Folk-Star 1211.

Imagine, walking down the street one night in Opelousas and hearing in the distance music from Ray Charles or maybe James Brown. Only that was no jukebox that you were hearing but Charles and Brown themselves performing live in St. Landry Parish. There was a day when the state was dotted with dancehalls and big name entertainers travelled the circuit. Within those walls the sounds of Zydeco also began to flourish including Rockin' Sidney commanding “Don't Mess with My Toot-Toot.” And, swamp popper Rod Bernard swooned that “This Should go on Forever.” Author Herman Fuselier joins Errol Laborde, executive editor of Louisiana Life, along with podcast producer Kelly Massicot to talk about his book, “Ghosts of Good Times: Louisiana Dance Halls, Past and Present,” as well as the emergence of Zydeco and its biggest stars. Oh yes, we'll also hear theories on what “Toot-Toot” means, but, warning, whatever the answer, don't mess with it.

Yvette Landry, Grammy-nominated artist, two time State of Louisiana Music Ambassador, 2019 inductee into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame, author, lifelong educator, cross-country and volleyball coach, and record producer is a force to be reckoned with. Known today for her soulful storytelling shared through her inspired lyrics and beautiful voice, Yvette's current life path didn't begin until she was forty years old and had reached a crossroads in her life. She turned to the electric bass guitar, a choice prompted by an inner spiritual urging, a bit of serendipity, and the need to find a release from the unrelenting stress that threatened to break her spirit. The interesting part of this story is that Yvette had never picked up any kind of string instrument in her life. She hadn't played music since she put down the woodwinds (flute, saxophone, and oboe) and closed the keyboard on the piano upon graduation from high school in Breaux Bridge years before. While she never enjoyed playing music as a young girl, she enjoyed the thrill of competing against others in a similar fashion that she enjoyed the competitive nature of athletics in which she really excelled. Growing up in a musical family, however, was something that she did enjoy, and it is definitely in her blood. Her aunt was a music teacher who played the piano and organ. Her dad was in a barbershop quartet. Her grandmother, Viola Hebert Landry, played with her family in the Louisiana Six. Her dad's grandparents were both musicians and came from a large family of musicians. Incredibly, her family descended from the Acadians who settled here generations ago and "the first Hebert in our family who settled here was a fiddler." Dealing with a marriage that was ending and facing the reality of her father's brain cancer, Yvette was driving down Johnston Street one day and pulled into the parking lot of C & M Music Center in Lafayette on a whim. She looked up at the wall and saw guitars in different colors, knowing nothing about guitars but knowing that she wanted one. The first one she tried was too heavy, the second one she tried was too wide, but the third one was perfect....sort of in the Goldilock's vein of being "just right." So she purchased it along with a small amplifier that the clerk told her she would need since it was an electric bass guitar. Yvette's initial hope was that she could "mess around with the guitar" when she was on the way to M. D. Anderson for her dad's treatments. Not knowing how to play it, she fell in love with the instrument and played by ear. She believes the reason she fell in love with music the second time around was that there was no teacher standing over her, telling her to play louder or change the way she approached a song. There was no need to read music as she could just listen to what she liked and figure out the chords. Never having picked up a string instrument until that fateful day at C & M Music, playing the guitar clicked for Yvette. She knew that "this is where I'm supposed to be." A friend's husband, Brazos Huval, invited her to join a Cajun Jam that met every week, a group of about 50 to 60 people, "aged six to eighty-six years old." Yvette hadn't grown up listening to Cajun music; she had actually grown up listening to Swamp Pop but was intrigued by the music that sang of her family's roots and joined the group that welcomed her with open arms. A couple of months later, Randy Vidrine invited Yvette to play at Randol's Restaurant with his band, the Lafayette Rhythm Devils. While it was "the most stressful three hours she had ever spent," as she was still learning how to play guitar, she was hired and spent ten years playing regularly on Wednesday nights at Randol's, as well as touring festivals throughout the U. S., Germany, and France. She's recorded three albums with Randy Vidrine. A scholarship to Louisiana Folk Roots to attend a weeklong, intensive session on Cajun music led to Yvette learning to ...

The difference between men and women is a subject that s been examined from perhaps the beginning of time. Whether you believe the conversation starts with Adam and Eve, or a couple of organisms crawling out of the primordial soup, commentary about what sets genders apart is the province of everyone from archaeologists to comedians. You d be forgiven for wondering what we could contribute to this conversation on a radio show and podcast about Acadiana business. Well, here goes. Let s start with Emily Degan. Emily is the owner and CEO of a company called Saint Hugh. Saint Hugh makes clothes for women. Women who are involved in an activity that, for the most part, is the province of men. Hunting. Emily discovered when she was a young girl who liked to go hunting with her dad, that there were no hunting clothes that fit her properly. And the ones that did fit, didn t look good. Saint Hugh solves that problem by making outdoor apparel specifically designed for women. Saint Hugh designs look good, and they take into account the different demands of women s bodies out in the marsh or woods. Ross Fontenot started out his business in 2011 by dressing men. Ross and his business partner, John Peterson, opened a fashion forward menswear store in Lafayette, called Genterie. John left Genterie to start up the soft drink company, Swamp Pop. Ross stayed at Genterie, expanding the store and its market, to include women s fashion. Photos over lunch at Cafe Vermilionvilleby Gwen Aucoin. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the last couple of hundred years we ve been making food in Acadiana that tastes totally different from anything you find anywhere else in the world. But, with the notable exception of New Iberia s Tabasco which is a hugely successful international brand it s only been relatively recently that Acadian food manufacturers have tried exporting our tastes beyond the borders of Louisiana. Aileen s lunch guests today have companies that are taking basic tastes from our everyday Acadian menu and selling them successfully across the country. Krispy Krunchy Foods sells fried chicken that Neal Onebane perfected and sold in his local convenience stores in the early 90 s. 17 years into his Acadiana convenience store chicken sales, Neal thought that maybe people in convenience stores in other places in America might also like his fried chicken. It turned out he was right. For the last few years Krispy Krunchy Foods has been one of Acadiana s most successful companies with annual revenues well north of one hundred million dollars. Five or six years ago, Acadiana cousins Collin Cormier and John Petersen launched a line of soft drinks based on a branding idea that was really nothing more than a local pun Drink Swamp Pop. That s only funny in Louisiana because outside of here most people don t know that Swamp Pop is a type of music. And when you think about it as a brand, putting the word "swamp" on a bottle of colored liquid doesn t make the average person in another state necessarily want to drink it. These were all lessons the Swamp Pop entrepreneurs were to learn over their first 5 years in business. Today, John and Collin have more than succeeded in educating non Louisiana drinkers and Swamp Pop is on shelves and tables in all kinds of places across America, including at Cracker Barrel coast to coast. Krispy Krunchy Foods, Swamp Pop, and their founders Acadian style family passion for their companies are success stories we in Acadiana continue to be proud of.

Here in Acadiana there s one thing we can all agree on. No matter what our politics, our age, our ethnicity, or anything else that separates us, the one thing we all have in common is a love of Cajun food. You don t have to be Cajun or even raised in Acadiana to be an expert on the exact way you like your gumbo, boudin, and everything else that s native to our neighborhood. And God forbid you have to leave Acadiana for work or some other reason and live somewhere else. Then what do you do Up until now you ve had to rely on somebody here sending you a care package. These days though, things have changed. Now if you re living out of town you don t have to ask your sister in law to pick you up some Swamp Pop and ship it to Seattle at some enormous cost. Now you can call Tara Guidry. Tara s recently founded business is called Cajun Crate. It s a monthly care package from Acadiana, curated and delivered to wherever you are, or wherever you d like to send someone a gift of Cajun goodies. For a part of the world that is so food centric, Acadiana is missing a couple of essential pieces in the food chain. There is no food incubator like they have in Baton Rouge at LSU to help food based entrepreneurs. And there s no infrastructure to facilitate the current passion for what s called farm to table getting fresh local farm produce into restaurants. Zack McMath is stepping into both these gaps. Zack is combining his business skills and his passion for food to found McMath Food Group. McMath Food Group includes a network to connect farmers to local markets, and a brand new facility with two commercial kitchens, one for food entrepreneurs and another for caterers and food trucks. Zack is calling this combined contribution to the food economy the Acadiana Food Hub. Photos at Cafe Vermilionville by Gwen Aucoin. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greg and Erica interview Rikk Wolf, the multitalented force behind the Zombie-licious riffing troupe, “Incognito Cinema Warriors XP.” In “Cheesy Movies We’d Like to See Riffed,” Ryan attacks “Jurassic Park: The Lost World,” and therefore everything Greg holds dear. Blake just doesn’t want to see his buddies fighting anymore. In the “Mini Soda Review,” the Podcast Gang tackles conspiracy-laden Swamp Pop Jeanne Lafitte Ginger Ale. The only thing more fetid than the taste of Swamp Pop are the urban legends and rumors surrounding it. Finally, James reviews the classic super-zero bomb, “The Pumaman.” All that in the broadcast, plus Ryan talking about Hitler and puppies. Again. (This podcast does not represent Alternaversal, Shout Factory or the Kickstarter campaign in any official capacity). EDITOR’S NOTE: In June 2019, this podcast merged with the Damn Dirty Geeks Podcast and became The Damn Dirty Drive-in. These are our classic back catalog episodes, dating back to March 2016.

Living in a place rich in traditions like Acadiana doesn t mean everything stays the same. Quite the opposite. Here, tradition is something that creative and business people continually nourish and grow. Some literally, like Brian Gotreaux. Brian and his family developed Gotreaux Family Farms, growing traditional food from veggies to tilapia in a way that s both traditional and modern. A few generations ago Brian s approach to agriculture on his property in Scott was simply called "farming." Today, it s called producing nutrient dense food that s organic and local. Collin Cormier takes an all new Acadiana approach to an established American institution soft drinks. While Coke and Pepsi are taking hits for their part in contributing to the nation s obesity, Collin and his partner launched Swamp Pop, an all natural alternative soft drink with local Acadiana flavors that are now finding fans across the country. George Graham is founder and principal of The Graham Group, a marketing company and ad agency with branches in Lafayette, New Orleans and Baton Rouge. For most people, running three offices would be enough work for an average day. But George is also Acadiana s most visible food blogger, the closest thing to being a chef without actually being a chef, and among other notable accomplishments, represented Louisiana in a nationwide TV search for the creator of the country s best burger.
