Usually coaches open doors for players, but sometimes players return the favor…btw, Mitchell Robinson of the NY Knicks/former Chalmette High grad is 7 feet tall, the other guy is 6’0. The story: https://t.co/yt9eFTjto3

@zenitrammichael My tv assignments are taking up most of my time, so for now, the podcasts will have to wait. Not sure what the future holds, thank for giving the pods a listen.

I’ll be returning to television in New Orleans as a member of Fox 8’s award winning newsroom. I’ve enjoyed podcasting these past few years, but it’s time for me to back to the visual side of storytelling. I’ll see some of ya’ll on air in a few weeks😎 https://t.co/ZgiuMpcN4j

Would a third weekend of #Jazzfest in #NOLA be a good thing? That's one of the questions I had for Quint Davis, producer of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival before it kicks off next week (4/25). Listen to the convo: https://t.co/3aeSTMAHDL

@martajewson @Matthew67052126 @wingedisis It took some convincing to get down there, that’s for sure. The keys mein freund, have never been mine😉

Massive cargo ships, like the one that took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge, aren't seen in #NOLA at the Port of New Orleans because they can't move under it. Port NOLA is building something downriver to bring in bigger cargo ships, listen to the pod: https://t.co/yrx7oOqnwP

If you grew up in #NOLA or along the Gulf South, the you know #Easter candy like Heavenly Hash and Gold Brick Egg. I went inside the Elmer Chocolate factory to see how the magic is made, listen to the podcast: https://t.co/pBlpynYUw1

Abita Beer got its start in Abita Springs, #Louisiana and it's probably why the small town is "famous". It's also home to the Abita Springs Opry, now in its 22nd season. It’s made the small town a big destination for music. Listen to the pod: https://t.co/wtiy7QJ2od

Crawfish prices in #Louisiana have been pretty nuts this year, so I went to a crawfish farm to try and find out who sets these prices. The answer is kind of a mystery, listen to the podcast: https://t.co/fp1kB6SCj7

@cheronbrylski He’s quite a character in the best sense of the word.

I sat down with the “Pirate Oncologist” to talk about why cancer is particularly deadly in #Louisiana and what he learned form his own cancer journey, listen: https://t.co/NiGrgGPysV

As the Archdiocese in #NOLA is working through its bankruptcy case, it's moving ahead with a plan to close or merge more than a dozen parishes, including Our Lady Star of the Sea where members are trying to save their church: https://t.co/ZP6Vlfb9sb

I spent years in newsrooms, and have seen their staffs and budgets shrink. Those were for profit newsrooms. So, when I saw a fairly new nonprofit newsroom in #NOLA, I wanted to see how it plans to run when many profit-driven newsrooms are cutting back. https://t.co/re6oqDhdS8

The Endymion parade is one of the biggest of #MardiGras season in #NOLA. When it rolls this year, it'll be an emotional experience since it'll be the first time the Krewe has rolled since the death of founding captain, Ed Muniz, listen: https://t.co/IITlfERGtU

[Thanh Truong @thanh412]

Who has the best King Cake? That's a debate that never seems to end in #NOLA. People are making runs on King Cake during a shorter #MardiGras season this year, so I dedicated a podcast episode to the craze around it: https://t.co/6bFQw7oXrF

GOP in control of state government in #Louisiana. Jeff Landry, a model #MAGA Republican, was recently inaugurated as governor. GOP holds a supermajority in the state legislature. My convo w/a political science professor about why Dems can’t stop them: https://t.co/UHQPLpvsZj

@nosmh You ain’t lying! Watching something so futuristic on an analog signal just seemed to enhance the otherworldly nature of Voltron to me. I think it’s part of the reason I’ll still check out anything related to it…chasing that first high;)

[Thanh Truong @thanh412]

I was the kid reading comics books and watching Thundercats & Voltron. I recently went to @FANEXPONOLA to see how the nerd community in #NOLA and region has grown. Listen to the podcast: https://t.co/RbH4PPb5Wb
