We have a special BONUS episode on New Orleans for you! Emma Parker covers food, geography, history, religion, culture, ALL OF IT! Kevin and Spencer get to show how they know nothing about French culture and history. Emma discusses life in New Orleans and the legacy of her family in Louisiana. She talks about the time machine she built where she got to go back in time and talk to Andrew Jackson. It turns out he might actually be an ass hole. Maybe.

Kevin and Spencer take a little trip back to 1814 for Part II of our series on New Orleans and its fight against the British. The British approach New Orleans after Jackson takes Spanish owned Pensacola. The Brits battle for an avenue of approach via Lake Borgne. This is a fun episode as we learn about Pirates and horrible metaphors Jackson comes up with to fend off racism. Please rate and review our show if you haven't already done so. Thanks for being here! We love you!
