For this episode, Jordan meets with three Lafayette-area creatives working in the realm of Louisiana French preservation : Jonathan Olivier, a writer ; Drake LeBlanc, a filmmaker and media artist ; and Jourdan Thibodeaux, a musician.
From the starting point of Thibodeaux's groundbreaking song "La Priere" (2023, Valcour Records) we discuss the ways that music, art, content creation, and humor can help to foster a passion for the Louisiana way of life, a way of life that goes beyond language to the fostering of community gathering and oral storytelling.
