Big Easy Spirits

The content in this podcast can be fantastic, however these women can not stop editorializing and making stupid comments. The number of time “yeah” is said in any given episode is astronomical. The comments in the 2nd episode about sex work were callous and showed no understanding of the complexities associated with sex work. The privilege these two spew ruin what could be an very interesting podcast... for 2 people who are self proclaimed storytellers, they should focus more on the story and less on the commentary.

I tried to listen to this because I love New Orleans and love to hear stories about it but I agree with most of the reviews. The girl in the background making comments just sounds ditzy and I just can’t! I can see why there isn’t any newer shows.

I’m not sure where to begin but I will manage. No one wants to hear you eating and chewing throughout any podcast…pineapple & Nutella episode (ugh). So many ‘uh-huh’s, m-kay’s, and yeaaas that my brain feels scrambled. Too much random talk not even remotely related to the supposed topics. It sounds like a disconnect between the women. The super loud, lady makes me feel dumber by the second. And it sounds like the the other woman might be feeling the same thing. Very cringeworthy. This would be of much better quality if there was a change up on the podcasters. They are not doing New Orleans any favors with this. Le sigh.

I am a history nerd and obsessed with the French quarter. I was pleased to hear the stories and that they knew the details. Details beyond the common tourist lore. Don’t listen to the negative reviews, give them a try! Thank you for sharing the show and I would highly recommend.
