Phenomenal Find
Mark’s show is such a treat! Always a pleasure and overall a great listen. You’ll find such a wealth of information that truly does justice to the culture and history of New Orleans. I’ve gone back and listened to every episode. Myself and my husband both enjoy listening to them all together. Even being from Louisianna and having been to New Orleans many times, we are always learning something new. Thank you Mark, for sharing your knowledge with us and bringing in those from the community to celebrate the rich heritage that does truly extend well beyond Bourbon St!
Perfect before your trip to Nola
So grateful for this podcast and its thoughtful research and interviews. I simply can’t wait to go so well informed to New Orleans for the first time. This is the ultimate guide before you go!
My favorite NOLA podcast!
I’ve never lived in the city, but I visit more than any sane person should, and most of the fun things outside of the French Quarter I’ve learned about from Mark and his amazing guests. Hugely recommend this to anyone with even a passing interest in the city or its history!
