Did you know I wrote a book? It’s called Beyond Bourbon Street, an Insider’s Guide to New Orleans and is the subject of today’s episode. We'll give you a preview of the book and some insgiht into how it got made. Joined by photograher and contributor James Cullen.
Today’s episode is all about the people who live and have lived along the sliver of land between the levee and the Mississippi River called the batture.
To help me explore this culture I’ve enlisted the help of Macon Fry, author of the book They Called Us River Rats, and himself an inhabitant of the batture.
