Two-thirds of the known killings of trans people since 2013 have been against Black trans women. " (Ed Abraham).

445. Stephen Winick, part 1
Louisiana Anthology Podcast
12/03/21 • -1 min
445. Part 1 of our conversation with Stephen Winick, of the Library of Contress. In 1902, on a prairie in southwest Louisiana, six members of a farming family are found murdered. Albert Edwin Batson, a white, itinerant farm worker, rapidly descends from likely suspect to likely lynching victim as people in the surrounding countryside lusted for vengeance. In a territory where the locals were coping with the opening of the prairies by the railroad and the disorienting, disruptive advances of the rice and oil industries into what was predominantly cattle country, Batson, an outsider, made an ideal scapegoat. Stephen has studied the events of the time, and the ballads that were written about the death of Batson.

513. Part 1 of our interview with Jacqueline Couti, about the Creole folk tale, "Djabe's Marriage." "Jacqueline Couti works in the area of French and Francophone Studies. Her research and teaching interests delve into the transatlantic and transnational interconnections between cultural productions from continental France and its now former colonies. Her work explores constructions of gender, race, sexuality, identity politics, and nationalism. A central theme of her research is how local knowledge in the colonial and post-colonial eras has shaped the literatures, and the cultural awareness of the self, in former French colonies through specific representations of sexuality" (Rice University).

- This week in New Orleans history. According to Buddy Stall, on March 17, 1930, the first "coffee break" in the United States occured when the "managers of the Delta Steamship Company, then the Mississippi Steamship Company, summoned their 80 employees in the Hibernia Bank building and initiated a daily 3:30 p.m. coffee recess. Company scouts had found the custom to be very well-received in Brazil and adopted the idea for its New Orleans office. The tradition started by the shipping company spread like wildfire, and in a short time completely saturated the entire metropolitan area, which only goes to prove good news travels fast".

Every March, thousands of BBQ lovers descend upon Downtown for the Hammond Smokin’ BBQ Challenge. Bringing together beer aficionados, bbq enthusiasts and fun lovers alike, everyone comes for a good time. However, one of the most important aspects of the Competition is more significant than beer, bbq, and entertainment. Our local charities benefit from this contest, one of the largest events in Hammond, Louisiana. The Hammond Smokin' BBQ Challenge began in 2003 as a competition that would help fundraise for local organizations, specifically TARC, which serves those with disabilities. In its first year, the event raised $10,000 for the organization and has since expanded its reach to other non-profits and has raised north of $50,000 in past years. Hammond BBQ, Inc. is the non-profit association governing the event.

424. Clint Bruce. Afro-Creole Poetry.
Louisiana Anthology Podcast
07/01/21 • 61 min
424. We interview Clint Bruce, author of Afro-Creole Poetry in French from Louisiana’s Radical Civil War–Era Newspapers:A Bilingual Edition. Collected here for the first time, seventy-nine poems published in the Civil War-era Afro-Creole New Orleans newspapers L'Union and La Tribune--most unavailable anywhere but in archives--bring to life a close-knit, politically progressive French-speaking community of artists and intellectuals whose cultural and legal legacies were monumental. The original French poems appear here alongside Clint Bruce's sensitive English translations, mindful of meaning, meter, and sound. A comprehensive introduction, biographies of the poets, and extensive annotations immerse readers in Civil War-era Louisiana. In his research for the volume, Bruce unearthed crucial issues of La Tribune long thought lost and discovered the extent of a poetic hoax undetected for nearly 150 years.

430. Katie Carmichael
Louisiana Anthology Podcast
08/13/21 • -1 min
430. We talk to Katie Carmichael about her dissertation, "The Yat Accent in New Orleans." Katie has studied the local 'yat' accent, both its history and its impact on local culture and humor. Often, the term "Yat" refers particularly to the New Orleans accents that are "strongest" or most especially reminiscent of a working-class New York City accent, though others use the term as a regional marker, to define the speech heard in certain parts of the city and its inner suburbs. Used in these narrower senses, Yat is simply one of many sub-dialects of New Orleans. The word comes from the common use of the local greeting, "Where y'at?" or "Where are you at?", which is a way of asking, "How are you?"

492. Terry Ellis, Part 2
Louisiana Anthology Podcast
10/21/22 • -1 min
492. Part 2 of our interview with Terry Ellis about his book, Reasonably Happy. "Are You Unhappy and Not Sure Why? Reasonably Happy gets to the self-centered heart of the problem. In many ways, this book is about how to recover from the addictions all of us wrestle with. Substance addiction is the clearest example of the spiritual poverty in our culture today, but gambling, pornography, spending, and unhealthy eating also erode our spiritual awareness of God’s grace. Ultimately, we’re all addicted, or attached to caustic habits of thought and action that distance us by degrees from the God who created us for happiness. The Prayer can help.

Tickfaw State Park Canoeing
Enjoy a serene paddle on your visit to Tickfaw State Park.
Tickfaw, a Native American name meaning “Rest Among the Pines,” is a fitting name for this state park. Located in Livingston Parish, Tickfaw State Park offers visitors plenty of places to rest, among pines, in a canoe cruising the lazy Tickfaw River or in one of the scenic cabins or campsites. The park shows its different personalities during each season. Spring brings occasional flooding from the Tickfaw River that nourishes native plants and provides breeding grounds for its wildlife. The dense tree canopies, water playground and cool river offer respite during hot summer months, and the fall and winter months offer more solitude and reasons to keep warm by the barbecue grill. Start your trip at Tickfaw State Park’s nature center, which hosts programs about the park’s ecology and biodiversity. Check out the 800-gallon aquarium that holds native fishes found in the Tickfaw River. Nearby in Hammond, grab a pint at Low Road Brewing, and in Ponchatoula, get up close with the local wildlife with Kliebert & Sons Alligator Tours. Entrance fee: $3 per person; free for seniors age 62 and older, and children age 3 and younger.
