Have you ever visited New Orleans and stayed in a short term rental through AirBnb, VRBO, or another service? If so, you probably got a great deal, but do you wonder about the impact on the community?
Join me and NOLA.com reporter Kevin Litten for a discussion of the current state of affairs and the impact of short term rentals in New Orleans.
When you're ready to make your plans to visit New Orleans, you'll need a place to stay! The Old 77 is ideally situated in the Warehouse District, just three blocks from the French Quarter. It features a variety of pet-friendly rooms, the award-winning Compere Lapin restaurant, and more.
You'll love the location, the rooms, and the food, but the details and the service are what you'll fall in love with!

NOLA DNA Project, a History of New Orleans in Newspapers
Have you ever been perusing Craigslist and come across something remarkable? Well, that's exactly what happened to Joseph Makkos, my guest on today's episode.

Join us as we discuss how one person's love of all things print-related led to an amazing discovery of 30,000 newspapers from the golden age of New Orleans newsprint.
