About The Lagniappe Stories Podcast

New Orleans is a city like no other—a place where culture, creativity, and community come together in ways that inspire the world. From the vibrant murals of the Young Artist Movement to the soulful melodies nurtured at the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music, and the rich legacy of excellence at St. Augustine High School, this city is alive with stories that deserve to be told. Welcome to Lagniappe Stories, a podcast and video series that goes beyond the headlines to shine a light on the people and organizations making a difference in the Crescent City. “Lagniappe” means “a little something extra,” and that’s exactly what we aim to bring you—insightful conversations, untold histories, and a deeper look at the passion and perseverance driving New Orleans forward. Join us as we celebrate the artists, educators, activists, and visionaries who shape the soul of our city—one story at a time. This is Lagniappe Stories. Let’s get started.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
