“No More Denial – New Orleans Doesn’t Work.” That’s the title of a new letter to the editor in The Advocate | The Times Picayune, written by famed American political adviser and strategist James Carville. Raised in the city of Carville, Louisiana, Carville acted strategically on several candidates for public office in the United States and abroad, and gained national attention for his role as chief strategist in Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign. But you may know him better of his many network news and podcast appearances, or by his nickname, “The Ragin’ Cajun.”
Today, Carville joins us to talk politics—what works and what doesn’t—and share what he thinks makes Southeast Louisiana tick.
Some of the values Carville remembers about Louisiana were often celebrated by author Ronnie Virgets. Virgets, who died in 2020, hosted our live broadcast Crescent City in the early 2000s, often reporting on the city’s unique traditions. Today we hear his coverage of the 2002 jazz funeral of renowned alto saxophonist and bandleader Harold Dejan.
Today’s episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karl Lengel. Our executive producer is Alana Schreiber and our digital editor is Katelyn Umholtz. Our engineers are Garrett Pittman, Aubry Procell and Thomas Walsh.
You can listen to Louisiana Considered Monday through Friday at 12:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. It’s available on Spotify, Google Play, and wherever you get your podcasts.
