Beyond Bourbon Street, an Insider’s Guide to New Orleans
Society & Culture:Places & Travel
Today’s episode is devoted to books about New Orleans. If you’re caught up on Netflix and want to spend some time reading instead, this one’s for you.
I recorded this in December 2020. Even if you are listening years from now, this will help you get to know the city better whether you are planning a trip or just wanting to stay connected with New Orleans.
We’ve done 125 episodes. Talked to many authors. This is the 2nd time I'm doing a show like this one. The first was back in episode 111.
Here’s what this is not. It is not a top 10 list. It’s not a comprehensive list. It’s just a list of very good books about New Orleans, across several categories.
