🎙️ Summer Finale | History, Legacy & New Orleans
🇺🇸🎇✨
For our midseason finale, we’re taking a seat at one of the most legendary tables in America.

Join us as we sit down with Lisa Blount of Antoine’s Restaurant to explore the remarkable family legacy behind New Orleans’ oldest continuously family-owned restaurant and its place in the story of our nation’s 250th anniversary.

From timeless traditions and iconic cuisine to the generations who have preserved a New Orleans institution, this conversation is about more than food—it’s about heritage, resilience, traditions, and the people who keep history alive.
This is a finale you won’t want to miss.

Then later we lite some 4th of July sparklers for our friends at Workman Pub Kids! As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we’re taking a fresh look at one of the nation’s most influential documents.

We recently welcomed Katie Kennedy from Workman Publishing to discuss her brand new book, The Declaration Decoded. Together, they explore how the Declaration of Independence came to be, what its words really mean, and why its message continues to resonate nearly 250 years later.

Whether you’re a lifelong history buff, an educator, or simply curious about the story behind America’s founding, this episode offers an engaging and accessible conversation that brings the Declaration to life.


As we close show and get in to the patriotic feeling, remember to slow down. 

And just- Soak it in. 

I'll see yall in September! Happy everything to everybody.
