Show Notes
The award-winning photographer and freelance journalist’s focus on New Orleans culture dates to her work for the legendary Michael P. Smith. While working as Gambit Weekly staff photographer, she’s chronicled the city’s contrasts and contradictions, producing images both comic and tragic, sacred and profane. Her new book, “The Danse Macabre: Celebration and Survival in New Orleans,” is a vibrant expression of this eternal ethos. Tonight Cheryl joins the Troubled Men to laugh it up as twilight descends.
Topics include a men’s room, a Passover seder, Chazfest, a Kingpin gig, Jazz Fest, pedicabs, Heart, rescheduling weed, bong hits, Jude Acers, Baylee Badawy, Naked Gardening Day, the Marigny, Madisonville, an Amish father, the Half Moon, country life, an escape to college, newspaper jobs, New Orleans Magazine, Errol Laborde, Teresa Askew, an office job, teaching in Honduras, hepatitis, Mardi Gras Indians, Bruce Springsteen with the Iguanas, gutter punks, Chris Rose, death, good times, Rex members, the Women’s March, “Cherchez la Femme,” Anne Gislesen, Gerald Herbert, Uganda Roberts, and much more.
