Recorded in September 2016, from Episode 2 of our very first season, New Orleans Councilman (then-Rev and Fist Chair) J.P. Morrell sat down for a conversation that may have focused a little too much on comic books and tennis shoes. But that doesn’t come up until the end of the show. Before that, it’s a quick run through the world of New Orleans politics and a deep dive into in the Louisiana Legislature of yesteryear. What is it like being the only child of a political family? How does the business lobby really operate? He answered all of these questions, plus much more… Like why folks may have to start calling Rick Ward Spider-Man and Helena Moreno Wonder Woman. We also went back in time with an audio clip from the 1960 congressional campaign of Earl Long.
