Episode 352 features Duane Rieder, founder and curator of the Clemente Museum and Chef Jean-Paul Bourgeois, winner of the 2026 James Beard Media Award for Duck Camp Dinners. Duane Rieder is the executive director and curator of the Clemente Museum which is housed in a historic firehouse in the revitalized Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh. Engine house 25 has been meticulously renovated to showcase the world's largest exhibited collection of baseball artifacts, works of art, literature, photographs, memorabilia, and related materials which focus on Roberto Clemente, his teammates, his personal life, and his humanitarian causes. Before founding the museum, Rieder built a career as a commercial and sports photographer. In the mid-1990s he was hired to photograph the Clemente family in Puerto Rico, an experience that led to a close relationship with Clemente's widow, Vera Clemente, and ultimately to documenting and preserving the family's archives. Duane's relationship with the Clemente family gave him access to photographs, personal belongings, documents, and stories that helped shape the museum. Many exhibits emphasize Clemente as a husband, father, and humanitarian in addition to his Hall of Fame baseball career. Go to https://clementemuseum.com/ for more information. Chef Jean-Paul Bourgeois won a 2026 James Beard Foundation Broadcast Media Award for his streaming docuseries Duck Camp Dinners.

In this episode of The Geoholics, we go full geospatial nerd mode with several leaders from the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) — a professional organization that's been shaping the mapping and imaging sciences since 1934. That's right… these folks were advancing mapping science before lidar was cool and long before anyone thought strapping cameras to drones was a good idea. Joining the show are Dr. Balaji Ramachandran, Dr. Unal Okyay, Bill Swope, and Scott Dunham, representing the ASPRS Gulf South Region, where they're working to grow a tight-knit geospatial community across Texas and Louisiana. From certifications to conferences to career-changing connections, this episode dives into why professional organizations still matter in an industry evolving at warp speed. We kick things off at 30,000 feet discussing what ASPRS actually does and why surveyors, drone pilots, photogrammetrists, lidar specialists, and GIS pros should care. With nearly a century of history behind it, ASPRS has helped establish standards, promote education, and advance technologies that form the backbone of modern geospatial workflows. The conversation also digs into ASPRS certifications — including Certified Photogrammetrist (CP) and Certified Mapping Scientist (CMS) — and how these credentials can elevate careers, validate expertise, and help professionals stand out in a rapidly growing field. We also preview the ASPRS Gulf South Geospatial Conference, happening at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana, where attendees can expect technical sessions on topics like mobile lidar for railroads, geospatial accuracy standards, photorealistic 3D visualization, and lidar data assessment — plus a panel discussion moderated by your very own Geoholics host....Mr. Kent Groh! Beyond the tech talk, the episode highlights initiatives like the Jim Gillis Memorial Education Fund, which helps remove financial barriers for students and young professionals pursuing careers in mapping sciences — proving that investing in the next generation is just as important as pushing the technology forward. Organizations like ASPRS play a critical role in maintaining standards, professional credibility, and ethical practice as geospatial technology becomes more accessible to everyone. If you care about the future of geospatial technology, professional credibility, and building a stronger community in the mapping sciences, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

"BOBINÔT, that big, brown, good-natured Bobinôt, had no intention of going to the ball, even though he knew Calixta would be there. For what came of those balls but heartache, and a sickening disinclination for work the whole week through, till Saturday night came again and his tortures began afresh? Why could he not love Ozéina, who would marry him to-morrow; or Fronie, or any one of a dozen others, rather than that little Spanish vixen? Calixta's slender foot had never touched Cuban soil; but her mother's had, and the Spanish was in her blood all the same. For that reason the prairie people forgave her much that they would not have overlooked in their own daughters or sisters." This week in Louisiana history. January 16, 1962.

The "Chocolate City Speech" is the nickname that some have given to the Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech by Mayor Ray Nagin on January 16, 2006, several months after Hurricane Katrina. Prior to Nagin's speech, some commentators were suggesting that the city's demographics would change from majority African American to majority Caucasian. In an interview with Public Radio International's Tavis Smiley (originally broadcast on January 13, 2006) Nagin used the phrase "chocolate city" in reference to New Orleans' future demographics.

644. Part 1 of our interview with David T. Ballantyne about his book, Fractured Freedoms: Reconstruction in Central Louisiana. "Fractured Freedoms is a riveting history of central Louisiana from the 1860s to the 1890s, focusing on majority-Black Rapides Parish during Reconstruction. Using the region as a case study, Ballantyne reveals what is, in part, a rural Reconstruction success story, emphasizing the resilience of Black politics and the persistence of significant divisions among white residents that allowed the Republican Party to gain and maintain power there. It was only with the collapse of state-level Republican power in 1877 that Democratic forces in the parish were able to dismantle local Republican political control and gradually constrict Black freedoms."

Faulkner was one of the South's greatest writers. He wrote this novel about the artists he had met in the French Quarter. He put them on a yacht that took them through Lake Pontchartrain until they ran aground and were stranded for several days. That's right, Faulkner basically created Gilligan's Isle. "The violet dusk held in soft suspension lights slow as bellstrokes, Jackson square was now a green and quiet lake in which abode lights round as jellyfish, feathering with silver mimosa and pomegranate and hibiscus beneath which lantana and cannas bled and bled. Pontalba and cathedral were cut from black paper and pasted flat on a green sky; above them taller palms were fixed in black and soundless explosions. The street was empty, but from Royal street there came the hum of a trolley that rose to a staggering clatter, passed on and away leaving an interval filled with the gracious sound of inflated rubber on asphalt, like a tearing of endless silk. Clasping his accursed bottle, feeling like a criminal, Mr. Talliaferro hurried on. "He walked swiftly beside a dark wall, passing small indiscriminate shops dimly lighted with gas and smelling of food of all kinds, fulsome, slightly overripe. The proprietors and their families sat before the doors in tilted chairs, women nursing babies into slumber spoke in soft south European syllables one to another. Children scurried before him and about him, ignoring him or becoming aware of him and crouching in shadow like animals, defensive, passive and motionless." This week in Louisiana history.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Jo Taylor, author of the book Margaret of Thibodaux. Jo is an obstreperous, retired ER Nurse who is likely an obstreperous writer too. She grew up with three stepmothers (not at the same time). She's lived on a boat and traced her genealogy back to the year 310 (maybe, probably, you know how genealogy is). She's been married for 33 years and all her hero characters are based on her husband, a hero in real life. Her first book, Postcards: Collected Poems and Short Stories, came out in July 2024. Margaret of Thibodaux, her first novel, released on March 18, 2025. In Carole's book review, she stated: 14-year-old Margaret is not going to let her father erase the memory of her deceased mother by bringing another woman (certainly not a stepmother) into their home. Her best friend, Honey tries to convince her there's nothing to worry about. The new woman is a doctor after all, loved by the entire town. But for the past six years her mother has appeared at her feet and lulled her to sleep with her favorite lullaby. Margaret is convinced that couldn't possibly continue if another woman occupies the master bedroom. Jo Taylor masters this coming-of-age story which takes place in Louisiana during the summer of 1974. You can almost feel the heat of the bayou as Margaret and her friends solve the problems of the world on the swings at the water's edge. The local town medium is the one person Margaret feels can help her contact her mother to make sure their routine won't change. But no medium, or talk with friends, or even pleading with her father can assure her things will be fine. It isn't until she finds a poem at her mother's grave that she begins on a path to a solution she can live with. This is a story you'll want to put on your TBR list.

631. Part 2 of Thomas Patterson joining us to discuss his new book, American Populist: Huey Long of Louisiana. "Thomas E. Patterson's monumental biography of Huey Long is a profound reevaluation of his life and legacy, recognizing him as an inspirational progressive thinker, populist hero, and radical influence on the New Deal. Long transformed the politics of Louisiana by standing for the interests of citizens whom state officials had historically ignored. He eased suffrage restrictions so that more people could vote, and voters endorsed his program of more robust government services and shifting the tax burden to those better able to pay. In the United States Senate,... he advocated loudly and ceaselessly for the redistribution of wealth, expanding public works, increasing the money supply, insuring bank deposits, paying old-age pensions and veterans' benefits, delivering a minimum income for families, and funding college and vocational education. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, along with other politicians and pundits, dismissed Long's proposals as nonsense put forth by a reckless demagogue in search of votes.... Despite several biographies, acclaimed novels, and historical studies in the years since Long's death, his reputation today is mostly caricature: a spellbinding speaker, a dictator, a populist firebrand who was unprincipled and corrupt. Using previously untapped personal papers of Long and his son Russell, other primary sources, recent scholarship, and his experience as a lawyer, Patterson provides a necessary corrective as he analyzes the contours of Long's career, deconstructs the elements of his success, undercuts several myths related to his time in office, and explains the circumstances that led to his ultimate downfall. The result is the most comprehensive, balanced, and analytical study of the Kingfish to date." Thomas Patterson founded the Patterson Law Firm in Chicago, which focuses on helping businesses manages crises. Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

In this gripping and unnerving episode, Brian shares a story from a 63-year-old. A lifelong resident of rural Louisiana, who recounts a chilling chapter from his childhood that has haunted him ever since. The summer of 1972, when he was just ten, brought an unimaginable horror to his small community outside Marksville—a season when an unknown predator seemed to rise from the swamps and target the people living on the fringes of civilization. What began as bizarre livestock mutilations—a few chickens torn apart, their wire enclosures twisted unnaturally—soon spiraled into a full-blown crisis. Massive, unidentifiable tracks appeared in the muddy soil around the Thibodaux property. A 200-pound pig was found hurled against a barn wall with such force that the wood splintered. This was no ordinary animal. It was calculating, deliberate, and disturbingly intelligent. As the weeks passed, the phenomenon spread. Families miles apart began reporting similar attacks. Glowing yellow and red eyes were seen watching from the woods. At night, strange sounds echoed through the darkness: baby cries that weren't human, voices of loved ones long dead. Even hardened hunters were shaken. The Broussard family's German Shepherd, Rex, a dog known for his fierce loyalty and fearlessness, was found cowering, irreparably broken by whatever he had witnessed.The entire community was on edge. People began sleeping with weapons close at hand. Parents refused to let their children play outside. Marie Landry was followed for half a mile by an unseen presence on her walk home from church. The Thibodaux twins, Bobby included, heard the unmistakable voice of their deceased grandmother calling to them from the treeline. Sleep became a rare luxury for children too afraid to close their eyes.Then came the disappearance of Boudreaux Tate, a seasoned hunter who had gone out to track the creature. His camp was found abandoned, signs of a violent struggle left in the dirt.His body was never recovered. Fear turned to panic.In the end, seven men from the community, pushed to their limits, armed themselves and headed deep into the swamps. What they found defied logic—an eight-foot-tall bipedal creature with wolf-like features and disturbingly human hands, hiding in a remote cave system. A violent confrontation ensued. The men returned with no trophy, no photographs—only their word and a promise that the creature was buried where it fell. His story is more than just a tale of terror—it's a portrait of a community grappling with something it couldn't understand, something that left lasting scars on everyone who survived that haunted summer. This is an unforgettable firsthand account of survival, mystery, and the darkness that once stalked the Louisiana bayou.
JOIN the community - meet us over on the our Substack chat! --- Ep 48: MEDIUM Book Jo Taylor is a writer, a psychic medium, an Akashic Record reader, a retired ER nurse and an absolutely fascinating guest! In this engaging conversation, Jo Taylor shares her journey from a life filled with psychic experiences to becoming a published author and medium. She discusses her debut novel, 'Margaret of Thibodaux', and how her personal experiences shaped her writing. Jo delves into her understanding of the Akashic Records, (the Book of life!) the role of intuition in her nursing career, and the importance of normalizing psychic abilities in society. The discussion also touches on the significance of past lives and the tools available for overcoming blocks in mediumship, including neuro-linguistic programming. In this enlightening conversation, Jo Taylor shares her insights on higher consciousness, the nature of time, and the concept of parallel lives. The discussion delves into the intricacies of remote viewing, life reviews, and the healing process in the afterlife. Jo emphasizes the importance of love and connection, revealing that we are loved beyond measure. They discuss the normalization of mediumship and its relevance in everyday life, emphasizing the importance of understanding and embracing these spiritual experiences. The dialogue also touches on telepathic communication and the connections that transcend time and space, ultimately aiming to demystify and normalize the practice of mediumship. Takeaways The Akashic Records provide access to all information that has ever existed. Normalizing psychic abilities is essential for societal acceptance. Past lives can offer insights into current challenges. The conversation emphasizes the importance of mentorship in understanding psychic abilities. A lot of us who are here for service are not really here to learn lessons. Experiencing all of life at the same time is a profound concept. Energy exists everywhere, and where there is energy, there is always energy. Remote viewing is distinct from mediumship and involves different processes. Life reviews are individualistic and can involve a debriefing process after death. Healing in the afterlife can look like a spa or school, depending on the soul's needs. We are loved beyond measure by the creator and everyone around us. The soul is perfect, and our human experiences are what need repair. Experiences in the Akashic Records can be profound and transformative. Life contracts may involve allowing certain experiences for growth. Telepathic communication has historical roots and is not a new concept. Mediumship should be viewed as a normal part of life, not paranormal. Sound Bites "I have had psychic experiences my whole life." "We're not really here to learn lessons." "You're loved beyond measure." "Heaven is real." jo@jotaylorauthor.com Jo's Substack: Characteristically Speaking Margaret of Thibodaux Postcards Jo Taylor Author Medium Curious Chat via Substack Medium Curious Website: MediumCurious Jane's Website: Jane Morgan Medium Sarah's Website: Sarah Rathke Podcast Instagram: @MediumCuriousPod YouTube: @mediumcurious VerySoul.com It really helps Medium Curious when you download your episode.
