New Orleans is the most celebrated city of the American South, and the largest city in Louisiana (some 300,000 in the city, 1.2 million in the metropolitan area as of late 2007, and still re-growing), as well as the state's top visitor destination. The city has a reputation for historical roots, hot and muggy weather, great food, great music, and great times. Despite being hit hard by Hurricane Katrina in late 2005, New Orleans is still the tourist hot-spot it always has been. Jazz music still rules the city's streets and there's still a bit of Mardi Gras all year round. New Orleans is known for a host of attributes like its famous Creole food, abundant alcohol, music of many styles, nearby swamps and plantations, 18th 19th century architecture, antiques, gay pride, streetcars, museums. Nicknamed the Big Easy, New Orleans has long had a reputation as an adult oriented city. However, the city also offers many attractions for families with children and those interested in culture and the arts. It is a city with a majority Roman Catholic population owing to its European origins. Famous festivals like Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest bring in tourists by the millions, and are the two times of the year when one needs to be sure to book well in advance to be sure of a room. The city also hosts numerous smaller festivals and gatherings like the French Quarter Festival, Creole Tomato Festival, Satchmo SummerFest, the Essence Festival hosted by the magazine, Halloween parading and costume balls, Saint Patrick's Day and Saint Joseph's Day parading, Southern Decadence, and so many more. The city takes almost any occasion for an excuse for a parade, a party, and live music, and in New Orleans most events often have a touch of Mardi Gras year round. Like they say, New Orleanians are either planning a party, enjoying one or recovering from one. Party down!

NOLA Trey and Rev John introduce our friends from secretpants.org--a fantastic comedy troupe, while the 'Saurus is off on vacation in Germany! Shortly thereafter, we get breaking news from the TWISR desk. Proof that the black political machine in New Orleans really hates progress. They made a council person cry! We don't quite know why...but we have an antidote! We call him The G-Man! Here, we find new meaning to the words, Love thigh neighbor. ?

What is scarier that a Halloween special filled with voo-doo, Chewbaca and two drunk Podcasters? Three drunk Podcasters! And the third is a girl. Meet the Rackasaurus!

A Radio Chaos First! We have exclusive news on the grizzly murder of Addie Hall. How? We knew her. Meanwhile, it's Rev. John's birthday so we celebrate Chaos Style.

Lesson #1: Tuesday night "show prep" with beer and Vicodin may make for great content, but it also makes for two dog-butt tired broadcasters. We knuckle drag our way through the dangers of racial profiling and enact our first radio play: "Foley and the Page Boy." Other foolishness is mixed in, per our usual recipe. Our parents really are proud of us!

The Saints christen the $580M rebuilt staduim, black people don't like the Chinese and we rant on other issues.

In this second of my solo shows, I report on my trip to Antigua. Well, and I rant on C. Ray a little.

After promising to be "more frequent" in posting shows, I take my sweet time making a 20 min show. Sad, really. We do, however, premier "The Radio Chaos BJ of the Day" segment (aka BJOTD)--so there is some value to this episode.

All hell broke loose at RCPC studios! We tracked the first half of the show but got sidetracked while chatting with John and Jodie from the HeSaidSheSaid Podcast. Following that, Rev John (currently unemployed) could not find the time to come over to finish the show. As Uncle Artie relies on John to get over here, he never showed up either. I waited. I re-built the studio with fancy new mixers and computers. And I waited. So, I gave up. This is the "best of show 11" that never got finished. The good news is that I will be hosting the show solo from now on with different special guests--some local, some remote. The shows will likely be shorter and more regular (both good things). The bad news is that I will be hosting the show solo from now on. You're in here with me now.

Ever aspiring to be concientious broadcasters, we eschew the political landscape for the moment (sort of) and take some time to generally goof-off. And it felt good. Very good...

Today, Artie is back from rehab (finally). After a little witty banter, we discuss my shameless show promotion attempt on NLO, TWISR looks at how one man in a Burger King puts down "The Man." Then, John looses control of his spleen. But it's all good preparation for our erstwhile discussion of the top seven mayorial candidates: Ron Couhig, Virginia Boulet, Ron Forman, Tom Watson, Mich Landrieu, Peggy WIlson and good old crazy Sea-Ray Nagin! Who is on top of their game? Listen to find out. Cry at the polls later. .

Art is off on a "man date" so Rev John and Trey relive some of the finer moments of Mardi Gras. Only, they are both deathly sick. So, they take a lot of "medicine."

You know, the rest of the world should stop and stay inebriated for 2 weeks, too. Instead, the news keeps on coming...

Best of Show 5, Psycho Security Guard, Krewe de Vieux--Warning: LONG

It's a BIrthday Party! Special guests Jesus, Mr. T and Craig joins us.

Coverage of the MLK March in NOLA and C. Ray Nagin's Chocolate City. Special guest Jesse Fernandez joins us.

Rev. John gets a nose job and tries to read news. We use secret codes to brainwash Uncle Artie.

The first full length RCPC feature. We rant on Post-Katrina life in the "Age of Entitlement."
