You’ll hear about traditions that have turned resistance into celebration and survival into art. In part 2 of this episode, I’m going to tell you the very dark tale of Madame Delphine LaLaurie and hopefully help you separate the fact from the folklore. This week, we discuss black history, folklore, traditions, and twisted tales from New Orleans, Louisiana. ------ WAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT: Join the Patreon for perks and ad free episodes!
