In the late 1800s, industrialization carried the United States into a new era – one of great wealth and elaborate lifestyles for those at the top. It was frequent New Orleans visitor Mark Twain who coined the term the "Gilded Age," which would later be associated with this time of conspicuous consumption. This week, we take a look at the glorious food at the center of it all. First, we chat with Becky Diamond, author of "The Gilded Age Cookbook," who recounts the lavish menus and extravagant parties the uber-rich served up in the late 19th century. Her tome offers more than 75 sumptuous recipes of the period, from salmon en papillote to dainty tea sandwiches, accompanied by full-color photographs of the dishes. Then, we sit down for an in-depth interview with actor and musician Michael Cerveris. The two-time Tony Award winner knows what it's like to live among the outrageous wealth and opulence of late-19th-century America, having played the valet Watson in the television series The Gilded Age. But that HBO drama is a late entry on Michael's long performing résumé. He's also had an impressive run on stage, in both musicals and straight plays. Locals may know Michael from his role in the post-Katrina New Orleans TV series Treme, or as co-founder of the popular Americana band Loose Cattle. Or, maybe, as the guy who lives down the street. Michael regales us with stories of his fascinating career and explains why he made the decision to call New Orleans home.

For Jessie, busy actor Jon Seda will always be Selena's loving husband Chris Pérez, but he's had many memorable roles in films and television: The Pacific, Chicago PD, Homicide: Life on the Streets, Treme, and La Brea, to name just a few. If you're a fan you already know that he was heading for a career in boxing when he was hired to appear in Gladiator, which was literally a life-changing experience. As you will hear, he's an unpretentious guy who enjoys what he does, appreciates the people he works with, and goes home to his wife and four children knowing he's earned an honest day's pay. His latest movie, Into the Deep, also stars Richard Dreyfuss and is available on demand right now. ...

We're starting 2025 way down in the hole, with a look back on one of the undisputed great TV series of our time. Our guest today is a storyteller responsible for shows like Treme, Generation Kill, The Deuce, The Plot Against America and We Own This City, but best known of course for The Wire – a show that began at a crime scene, with blood splattered across granite, police lights painting the pavement red, white and blue. It was here that audiences first met Detective McNulty, played by Dominic West, chatting with a murder witness. A kid had been killed for trying to rob a dice game – a stunt he tried to pull often. Usually, the kid in question, named Snot Boogie, got away with just a beating. This time, not so lucky. “I gotta ask you,” McNulty asks the witness. “If Snot always stole the money, why'd you always let him play?” The witness sighs, and the camera cuts to Snot's motionless body, gazing towards us from the floor. “Got to,” replies the witness. “This is America.”That line was the first clue that The Wire wasn't going to be like other television series. David wanted this police procedural, informed by his own experiences reporting on crime in the area as a journalist for the Baltimore Sun, to be more than another show about cops and criminals; it was to offer a microcosm of America itself. The Wire won no awards. Just 70,000 people tuned into the show's final episode, capping five critically and commercially overlooked seasons in 2008. Its creator didn't watch TV – David, in fact, pretty much hated the medium. And yet, The Wire has become recognised as one of the most important pieces of American pop culture of the millennium so far: a novelistic cross section of the Land of the Free, that bloomed from a tale about a phone-tapping team of lawmakers into an interrogation of media, education and everything in between.The spoiler conversation you're about to hear is a window into everything that is possible in the medium of television – and everything that's perhaps wrong with it right now, too. David was really candid about his struggles to get new work off the ground and onto screens in 2025 despite the enormous influence of The Wire. You'll hear how McNulty came to be, the real-life inspirations behind the show's most iconic character Omar, how far western society has come in addressing the systemic problems exposed in The Wire (spoiler alert: not very) and much, much more. And you'll also discover the lost season of The Wire that David devised, but that never made it to air.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Twelfth Night marks the birth of the late New Orleans icon, Leah Chase. The culinary legend, who passed away in 2019 at the age of 96, was the undisputed Queen of Creole Cooking and a civil rights activist who changed lives over a bowl of gumbo. On this week's show, we spend the hour honoring Leah's talent, achievements, and lasting legacy. We begin with one of our favorite Louisiana Eats moments: a special day we spent with Leah in 2012, when then-Mayor Mitch Landrieu kicked off the official start of Carnival season at Gallier Hall with king cake and a surprise for Leah on her 89th birthday. From there, we look back on Leah's early life in Madisonville, Louisiana. Leah describes growing up on a strawberry farm, and the lessons she learned that shaped the legend she would become. We continue with an oral history from NOLA Life Stories, in which Leah recounts her first experiences working in a café in the French Quarter, as told to Mark Cave of the Historic New Orleans Collection. Next, we arrive at a turning point in Leah's life — the moment she met big band leader Edgar "Dooky" Chase, Jr. Following their marriage, Leah went to work at Dooky's, her in-laws' simple sandwich shop in the Treme. As she began to serve Creole classics like gumbo and Chicken Clemenceau on fine linen, Leah elevated the dining culture for everyone. Leah tells us about her famous Gumbo z'Herbes, a dish she served at her restaurant every Holy Thursday for over 60 years. We also chronicle how Leah rebuilt Dooky Chase's after Hurricane Katrina. Eleven years after the storm, Leah experienced two other monumental life events — the first was her 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award from the James Beard Foundation. Months later, Leah's husband and partner Edgar "Dooky" Chase — the man who played a key role in her success — passed away at the age of 88. In this final segment, Leah reflects on their relationship and shares her thoughts on death and living a fulfilling life.

The common wisdom we're taught when starting up a business is, “Solve a problem that needs solving.” But the truly exceptional success stories of our time have not followed this advice. When Coca Cola came along, nobody who was enjoying a long, cool glass of lemonade was clamoring for a sweet, syrupy, brown drink. When Uber came along people weren't fantasizing about getting into a car with a total stranger. And when Jeff Bezos started selling books online, nobody in their right mind would give their credit card number to a person they didn't know on the world wide web. At the end of the day, it wasn't Bezos' ability as a salesman that convinced people to trust Amazon, it was the invention of a piece of software called “encryption” that made it safer to give your credit card to Amazon than to a server in a restaurant. Today there are other online companies poised to capitalize on the next technological change to e-commerce. One of those is a local startup called Cucuron, an online art gallery based in New Orleans, founded by Megan Manning. You might ask, “How many people are going to pay $2,000 for a piece of artwork based on a photo on a phone?” Maybe not a whole lot, but… When augmented reality and virtual reality become a part of our device's operating system – which they definitely will at some point – looking at a piece of art online will be exactly, in every way, like looking at a piece of art on the wall in a gallery. Whether or not Cucuron becomes the Amazon of art is unknowable. But it's building the architecture ready for the day when buying art online is as second-nature as buying the shoes, furniture, and mattresses people at one point said they would never buy online. Over 55% of e-commerce shoppers say the reason they buy online is, “home delivery.” Maybe it's the legacy of the pandemic, maybe it's the influence of Gen Z., but more of our lives these days seem to be home-centric. Very few New Orleanians know more about the many notions of “home” than Kristin Palmer. Kristin was Executive Director of an organization called Rebuilding Together. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Kristin led over 10,000 volunteers who rebuilt hurricane-damaged structures so New Orleanians could come home. In 2010 Kristin was elected to the New Orleans City Council. She represented District C which includes the French Quarter, the Marigny, Treme, Bywater and Algiers. In 2014 she founded Bargeboard, a home renovation and restoration company whose goal is to keep Old Algiers affordable and accessible through historic renovation, recycling and reuse. Bargeboard is a culmination of a lifetime of Kristin's New Orleans-centric personal and professional passions. In the 1940's, Abraham Maslow, a psychology professor, came up with a pyramid-shape explanation of human existence which has come to be known as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. On the bottom level of the pyramid are the most basic needs, including shelter – a home. At the top is something Maslow called Self Actualization, which includes creativity, like producing art. Maslow's interpretation of human existence has become a foundational teaching in understanding human motivation and behavior. But, if any place on earth was to challenge Maslow's conventional wisdom, it would be New Orleans. Here, our homes are of course vital, but an equally vital part of our lives - that makes New Orleans New Orleans - is music, beauty, and art. So, although both Megan's and Kristin's businesses – Bargeboard and Cucuron – theoretically represent the extreme poles of human existence, our lived experience here in New Orleans rates them as equally essential to our everyday lives. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

596. Our old friend Derby Gisclair returns to talk about his research into Louisiana politician and snake oil salesman (to the degree they're different!) Dudley J. LeBlanc. "Coozan Dud" was a moderately successful Louisiana politician and a wildly successful salesman of Hadacol, the patent medicine. He hosted a traveling variety show to sell the elixir he created in his bathtub with vitamins, other ingredients, hydrochloric acid, and 12% alcohol.

This week in Louisiana history. October 13, 1931. Lt. Gov. Cyr takes oath of office "since Huey Long is now a senator" This week in New Orleans history. October 12, 1934. James "Sugar Boy" Crawford is Born. New Orleans musician James "Sugar Boy" Crawford, Jr., born on October 12, 1934, was the author of "Jock-A-Mo" (1954), a hit that was later recreated as "Iko Iko" by The Dixie Cups and recorded by many artists including Dr. John, Belle Stars, The Grateful Dead, Cyndi Lauper, and as "Geto Boys" by Glass Candy. Starting out on trombone, Crawford formed a band which local DJ Doctor Daddy-O named "The Chapaka Shawee" (Creole for "We Aren't Raccoons"). Although his song "Jock-A-Mo" became a standard at the New Orleans Mardi Gras, Crawford himself disappeared from public view, and in a 2002 interview for Offbeat Magazine, told how his career came to an abrupt halt in 1963, after a severe beating at the hands of state troopers incapacitated him for two years, forcing him to leave the music industry. In 1969, he decided to limit his singing to in church only. In 2012 Crawford made a guest appearance singing gospel on an episode of the HBO series Treme. He died one month before the episode aired. He died on September 15, 2012. after a brief illness in a hospice at age 77. (Wiki) This week in Louisiana. 2024 Nola Reggae Fest Fri. Oct. 25 2024 — Sun.

Oneika Raymond heads to New Orleans, Louisiana to connect with the people and history of Tremé, one of the oldest Black neighborhoods in the U.S. There, she'll sit with some of the Tremé culture bearers of music, food and history to build a deeper understanding of the city's roots. Oneika sets off from her hotel, W New Orleans French Quarter. It's a short commute to her first stop of the day in the Tremé: Kermit's Tremé Mother in Law Lounge, the last standing jazz lounge in the neighborhood. She meets with Kermit Ruffins, the lounge owner and a beloved musician in his community. He delights Oneika with a song and stories of growing up in the neighborhood where the lively sounds of New Orleans-style jazz were born. Next, Oneika heads to the historic Congo Square, once a gathering place for enslaved and free people of color that remains an epicenter of culture within Tremé today. Denise is a seventh generation Creole storyteller and owner of the New Orleans history storytelling company, Our Sacred Stories. Denise gives Oneika a tour of the gathering place nestled in the heart of Louis Armstrong Park to share the customs and traditions born out of Congo Square.Ready for a meal, Oneika is off to her final stop, the plant-based soul food restaurant, I-tal Garden. There she meets the owner, Chef Joseph “Rah” Robinson for a delicious, home-cooked meal. Chef Rah tells Oneika about his mission to help nourish the bodies within his community by way of his unique, plant-based take on the traditional New Orleans dishes he grew up eating.Experience the soulful city of New Orleans for yourself.

For nearly her entire life, Amy Stelly has lived in the Treme district of New Orleans. Her house is near the Claiborne Expressway, a piece of Interstate-10 that was built through the neighborhood in 1969. The Claiborne Expressway is one of many American highways to divide and deprive Black communities. Not only has this infrastructure damaged these neighborhoods economically and culturally, but it's also dangerous. These highways pollute the environment with high levels of noise and harmful particulate matter. So ever since she was a little girl, Amy Stelly has been determined to do something about the Claiborne Expressway. In this episode, we'll talk to Drew Hawkins, a journalist who originally reported this story for the Gulf States Newsroom.
Join Chris and Susan for an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at “Homicide: Life on the Street,” with journalist, author, writer, and producer David Simon. David delves candidly into how his award-winning 1991 book, “Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets,” was translated to the screen, how he learned to write for teleplays, and how the real crimes and detectives from the book became the engaging stories and characters portrayed in the award-winning television series. David Simon is a Baltimore-based journalist, author, and television producer. He created and produced the celebrated HBO series The Wire, which depicts an American city's political and socioeconomic fissures. A former reporter for the Baltimore Sun, Simon is the author of two books of narrative non-fiction. His first book, Homicide, was the basis for the NBC drama of that name, and his second, The Corner, became an Emmy-winning HBO miniseries. Subsequent television credits include Generation Kill, Treme, Show Me A Hero, The Deuce, and The Plot Against America. His most recent project, We Own This City, is a six-hour, limited series chronicling the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force. It examines the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city in which the policies of drug prohibition and mass arrest were championed at the expense of actual police work.

After spending a year and half out firmly planted in psychedelia, The Beatles returned to Earth at the beginning of 1968 with "Lady Madonna," a Paul-penned tune that pays tribute to the strength of women, a topic he mines throughout his career. The song also serves an homage to New Orleans' piano legend and rock and roll trail blazer Fats Domino, and marks maybe the first time the band created their own intentional throwback to the early rock and roll of their youth. It's a grooving song with a fantastic shuffle from Ringo, some great faux-horn vocals from George and Paul. It always feels like a little slice of home to me, perhaps because New Orleans music is at the root of the song. To talk about New Orleans piano music, there are few better than Davis Rogan. Davis is known internationally as a master of the artform, and one of New Orleans' classic larger than life personalities. That personality is so big, it spawned a main character on HBO's popular Treme series. He's worked in radio, worked as a music teacher, been at the forefront of the hybrid of brass music, funk and hip-hop with his band All That. We chat with Davis about reapproaching the Beatles music after music education, Fats Domino, synthesizing New Orleans music, Alex Chilton, and much more! Check out Davis at davisrogan.com and Facebook.com/DavisRoganMusic to see if he's coming to your neck of the woods! What do you think about "Lady Madonna" at #89? Too high? Too low? Or just right?

Abortion care is about to get even more difficult to access for people across the Gulf South when a new ban takes effect in Florida on May 1. The ban outlaws nearly all abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, which is often before many people know they're pregnant. Rosemary Westwood, WWNO/WRKF reproductive health reporter, has more on how abortion access is about to get even more difficult. The busiest part of a highway is usually the cars driving on the road. But in one part of New Orleans, there's a lot happening underneath the street. The new Backatown Plaza recently opened in the city's Treme neighborhood, directly underneath the Claiborne Expressway. The space is now a community event center, designed to connect a neighborhood that was fractured by the expressway's construction in the 1960's. Josie Abugov, reporter with Verite News, recently covered theplaza's opening and joins us for more. The second weekend of the 53rd annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival kicks off later this week and an iconic girl group, The Dixie Cups, are the focus of the festival's official poster. The trios 1964 hit “Chapel of Love” knocked the Beatles out of the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Kellie Talbot, the poster's artist, joins us to talk about her work. ___ Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Diane Mack. Our managing producer is Alana Schrieber.

On today's Louisiana Considered, we hear how Baton Rouge Community College's Port Allen branch is helping train truck drivers. The school recently relaunched a course for students looking to get a commercial driver's license, which is required to drive 18-wheelers and other large ground transport vehicles. The school hopes it can help address the state's driver shortage. Heather Guidry, BRCC's dean of technical studies and adult education, spoke with WRKF's Adam Vos about the program. We also chat with Bobby Hjortsberg, captain of the Krewe of Freret, about his decision to ban plastic beads next Mardi Gras. The krewe made headlines last week when it announced it would shift to more sustainable throws for the 2025 Carnival season. Hjortsberg says the move will help protect NOLA's storm drains and “inject some sustainability” into Mardi Gras culture. And we take a tour of a new immersive play in New Orleans' Treme neighborhood. The Nola Project theatre company and the New Orleans African American Museum have partnered to present Tony Award-winning dramatist George C. Wolfe's The Colored Museum.

Twelfth Night marks the birth of the late New Orleans icon, Leah Chase. The culinary legend, who passed away in 2019 at the age of 96, was the undisputed Queen of Creole Cooking and a civil rights activist who changed lives over a bowl of gumbo. On this week's show, we spend the hour honoring Leah's talent, achievements, and lasting legacy. We begin with one of our favorite Louisiana Eats moments: a special day we spent with Leah in 2012, when then-Mayor Mitch Landrieu kicked off the official start of Carnival season at Gallier Hall with king cake and a surprise for Leah on her 89th birthday. From there, we look back on Leah's early life in Madisonville, Louisiana. Leah describes her earliest days growing up on a strawberry farm, and the lessons she learned that shaped the legend she would become. We continue with an oral history from NOLA Life Stories, in which Leah recounts her first experiences working in a café in the French Quarter, as told to Mark Cave of the Historic New Orleans Collection. Next, we arrive at a turning point in Leah's life — the moment she met big band leader Edgar "Dooky" Chase, Jr. Following their marriage, Leah went to work at Dooky's, her in-laws' simple sandwich shop in the Treme. As she began to serve Creole classics like gumbo and Chicken Clemenceau on fine linen, Leah elevated the dining culture for everyone. Leah tells us about her famous Gumbo z'Herbes, a dish she served at her restaurant every Holy Thursday for over 60 years. We also chronicle how Leah rebuilt Dooky Chase's after Hurricane Katrina. Eleven years after the storm, Leah experienced two other monumental life events — the first was her 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award from the James Beard Foundation. Months later, Leah's husband and partner Edgar "Dooky" Chase — the man who played a key role in her success — passed away at the age of 88. In this final segment, Leah reflects on their relationship and shares her thoughts on death and living a fulfilling life.

New Orleans food writer Ian McNulty on calas, a street food classic getting new life.
Oretha Castle Haley's childhood home in New Orleans, located in the Treme neighborhood, has been granted a place on the National Register of Historic Places, according to the Associated Press. This Craftsman-style residence served as a pivotal hub for Louisiana's civil rights movement in the 1960s and was famously known as the "Castle Family Home" and later, the "Freedom House." As a central figure in the city's civil rights history, Haley's home acted as a safe haven for participants of the 1961 Freedom Rides. Haley herself actively engaged in protests, sit-ins, and campaigns advocating for racial equality. Her impactful efforts challenged segregation in various facilities and lunch counters across New Orleans. Haley passed away in 1987 from ovarian cancer. Learn more about your ad choices.

Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court balked at the prospect of confronting a lower court about its efforts to delay the redrawing of Louisiana's congressional maps. Now many are left wondering if Gov. John Bel Edwards will do anything to address the redistricting question during the remainder of his term. Stephanie Grace, columnist and editorial director for The Times-Picayune/The Advocate, joins us to discuss the status of the case. Last Saturday was Veterans Day, a time to honor service members throughout the country – about 15,000 of whom live in New Orleans. It's not always easy for veterans to reconnect with their communities after returning from deployment. Recently, Bastion Community of Resilience – a New Orleans-based intentional living community for veterans – helped launch the New Orleans Veterans Coalition, an organization that brings together former military members together for acts of service. Jackson Smith, executive director of Bastion, tells us how the new coalition aims to help veterans recovering from the physical and mental impacts of war. There's a simple shotgun double in the 900 block of North Tonti Street in New Orleans' Treme neighborhood that looks like countless others throughout the city. But what happened at this house in the 1950's and ‘60's shaped the Civil Rights Movement, not only in New Orleans, but across the nation. That house, home to activist Oretha Castle Haley and her family, is now on the National Register of Historic Places, thanks to the efforts of a Tulane University graduate student. That student, Robin Smith, joins us to talk about the importance of the house – and of preserving our historical places. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich.

Nick, along with film critics Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy, delve into the latest cinematic offerings, spotlighting the MCU's newest entry, "The Marvels," featuring Brie Larson, David Fincher's edgy thriller "The Killer," and the exceptional Alexander Payne film "The Holdovers" starring Paul Giamatti—a standout as one of this year's finest films. Following the reviews, Esmeralda Leon recounts to Nick her adventures in New Orleans, including explorations in Treme, fascinating graveyard tours with a stop at Nicolas Cage's tomb, the extraordinary local cuisine, and an encounter with "St. Expedite." The conversation then turns to the iconic McDonald's McRib's comeback and a nostalgic reflection on the 90's Michael Jordan-inspired 'McJordan' sandwich, affectionately termed by Nick as The Delicacy.

At the age of 25, Michael Cerveris was playing the hot new kid from Britain in the TV series Fame. Fast forward 30 years, Cerveris is a seasoned pro with 10 Broadway credits, 4 Tony nominations and 2 wins, one for featured actor in Sondheims's Assassins and one for leading actor in Fun Home. On TV he's had major recurring roles in Fringe, Treme, The Good Wife and, currently, The Gilded Age. None of it is surprising, really, when we see all of that early promise in the young star of Fame in 1986. But how did he get there? In this conversation I ask Michael Cerveris to talk about his training pathway. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storyofacting/message
In the middle of a very long shift, working to get the brand new Dallas, TX store open, Rob Tolleson had no idea why Kevin Cassidy wanted to go out for coffee with him. “I thought I was in trouble” was his first thought. When Cassidy asked if Rob had ever considered working in management, Tolleson told him that he had not for the simple fact that he hadn't been on the sales floor in years. Cassidy responded that he had seen that Rob could work with everybody in the store, which was the most important component of management, and that the company could get him up to speed on how to handle the nuts and bolts of being a Manager. Thus began the Rob Tolleson's management career with Tower Records. Born and raised in New Orleans, at the age of 10 Rob was adopted by the guitarist of a local/national band who had married his mother. From an early age music was a part of Rob's life. Nonetheless, he had no idea what Tower Records was until one of his mother's friends brought by a promo of Van Halen's OU812. The same friend got him an interview with Record Sales Manager, Freddi Szilagi. In this week's episode, Rob Tolleson tells us about growing up a fan of Classic Rock, starting out alphabetizing Jazz cassettes, moving to Supervisor, and then receiving. From there Rob became a bit of a fixture on the A team circuit, helping to open brand new stores for Tower Records. He also takes an outsider into some of the inner workings of how Tower navigated the city's Jazzfest, where Mondays were often $100,000 days, beating the store's Christmas business. Rob also remembers, after it all closed down, the TV show “Treme” taking a shot at Tower Records during one of its first season episodes.
Zdravo. Tokrat v predigri zavijemo v Treme v New Orleansu, kjer se spomnimo na Vse svete, zakrpamo varnostne luknje in se odpravimo debatirat o alkoholu, natančneje o knjigi Drunk Edwarda Slingerlanda, ki ima nekaj zanimiv tez povezanih z razvojem človeštva in alkoholom. Tudi o pijanih opicah in božjem debatiramo, preden se končno posvetimo bolj basic vsebini, ki je primerna za začetek epizode, kjer ima glavno vlogo naključna pubertetnica - Random - in njena mati (Trillian) in njen oče (Artur), velik popotnik. Izvemo tudi nekaj zanimivih podatkov o planetu Lamuella, potem pa Trillian gre in ker gre ona, tudi mi končamo s tokratno epizodo in ugotovimo, da bomo 15. poglavje 5. knjige očitno obdelovali še dolgo.
Industry veteran, musician, composer, producer and engineer Mark Bingham has had a long and decidedly eclectic career in music. We sat down to talk some jazz - specifically Archie Shepp and his 1965 release 'Fire Music' - and may have finally cracked the code to Rob's ambivalence to the genre. REALLY fun conversation!
