understand conception as allied with tri-cen, but so much value, insight, discovery here that it needs to go. will listen and re-listen both tripod and sticky wicket.

Well researched and interesting.

Amazing podcast about New Orleans for anyone that loves history. You don’t need to live in NOLA to love this show!!!!

I love this podcast. The host is so real and engaging. New Orleans is an endless source of amazing stories and I have loved every one. Listen !

The stories are engaging and honest. It taps into stories that no one else has publicized in NO lore but that lay a historical foundation. Thank you!!

Excellent podcast by Laine Kaplan-Levenson. Laine sits down with community members from all of the multicultural groups that make up the fabric of New Orleans. She brings such a humble and inquisitive prescene and uncovers civil rights history as well as lesser-known stories of the people who have influenced New Orleans.

There is no doubt as to the fact that the city is fascinating, now and throughout history. In that special way great NPR programming does, this podcast captivates with great story telling and brings you closer to southern, American and New Orleanian history. It’s a great true gem. As a student who lives on the UNO campus, I’m only a few feet away from where this program is recorded and I can’t tell you how proud I am that programming of this caliber comes from the WWNO offices.

I love the short-format history lessons that this podcast presents. I love the voices and stories of our city, and I love being able to check in and get a reminder of how great New Orleans has been and has the potential to be. Keep up the great work!

Like it says on the tin, this is a podcast about three hundred plus years of New Orleans, but it isn't a dry recitation of history. Diving into art, music, race, sports, politics and food, TriPod gives you not just how the crescent City was, but how and why it is the way it is now. The vibrancy of the city and its people shines through the episodes giving listeners an insight into the strange tableau that sets New Orleans apart from every other city not just in the South or the country but in the entire world. Ideal for natives and visitors alike, you will learn things not just about this little Paris, but about yourself. Subscribe!

I want more! Great podcast. I love the history and hidden secrets of New Orleans. Please make more and more and more often!

Ever feel like you want to learn about New Orleans history but you're tired of the same old same old? Put this in your ears! Fun. FunNY. Sometimes somber. Always historically accurate. Complete package you know.

My personal history library would be an embarrassment to the usual home book collection. It’s what I love. So when I find a podcast that informs me about things I love I go all out to pay attention. TRIPOD is such a podcast.

I love New Orleans. This pod cast has been a fabulous way to learn more about its complicated and fascinating history!

I'm a huge fan of TriPod -- learning so much and enjoying each episode. Hard to imagine that the hour-long special Hati & New Orleans: Is the Feeling Mutual? could be even better. But it is -- in part because Laine Kaplan-Levenson has the space to do even more with her wonderful storytelling, excellent historic research, and wit. My favorite podcast. Glad it's back for another season.

I adore this show. Learning so much about the city I love!

I started listening to this while working in the lab and I never stopped.

TriPod is the first podcast about history to which I've subscribed. I'm hooked on the good story-telling, fascinating topic choice, and Laine KaplanLevenson's fantastic narration. I'd recommend this to anyone, including non-history buffs, for the unique perspective it lends to how cities develop and how history happens: locally!

This series is fantastic. Lane does an amazing job discussing the history of New Orleans from the perspective of every group that makes up our amazing gumbo. It's light hearted and fun but also serious, but she doesn't shy away from uncomfortable topics and the ways in which racism and ethnic discrimination played out in so many aspects of the city's development. I hope everyone who wants to celebrate the tricentennial of New Orleans will listen to this podcast.

As a local New Orleanian I love hearing the history of my city! Would love to see this continue past the city’s tricentennial.

New Orleans history is off the hook. LKL is a great reporter.

I just discovered this podcast since moving back to my hometown of New Orleans and reconnecting with the local NPR station WWNO. Great stories. Perfect way to celebrate the New Orleans' Tricentennial! Very well done, great hostess!

Love, love, love this podcast! Laine and the UNO faculty do a superb job ferreting out interesting and generally unknown stories from New Orleans' past. Love the grassroots approach, too. One of my favorite so far was the episode on the destruction of Claiborne Avenue, a center for African American business and community life, in order to put up the interstate. Another example of racial injustice that escapes view.

look forward to every new episode, really great stories told in a really great voice, thank you and keep em coming!

I have been a big fan of this program and the take of the host, Laine Kaplan-Levenson, on her adopted city from the beginning. One reason is due to Ms. Kaplan-Levenson’s skill at telling stories in ways that weave the perspective of the marginalized, whether it is Jews at Camp Algiers, women in business and media, Germans, Native People, and African Americans (both enslaved and free) in the broader society, or the LGBTQ’s experience at the Upstairs Lounge, into the center of New Orleans and Louisiana history. Although I continue to give the program an “A+”, I must admit feeling somewhat disappointed with the most recent programs related to the strike of the flambeaux carriers. When discussing how the use of the flambeaux decreased for a time before its revival and how the carriers view themselves as being “participants in” but “not a part of” Mardi Gras, I thought Ms. Kaplan-Levenson should have addressed both how the changing influence and perceptions of African Americans (both by themselves and others) might have played a role and how African Americans view Mardi Gras in general. Perhaps both points, the latter one in particular, will be addressed in future programs. In any event, please keep up the good work.

I'm a New Orleanian who lives in the D.C. metro area and discovered the show on the podcast The Big Listen. I am so happy I did. I instantly fell in love with the show at first listen and subscribed right away. The show gives a fun, well-researched, energetic, and honest account of an aspect of New Orleans history in short, digestible episodes. I have the sense that the producers truly want the show's listeners to walk away with a more intimate relationship with New Orleans. As a native son and lover of New Orleans, the show has strengthened my connection to the city despite my living out of town. Laine Kaplan-Levenson is an excellent host who knows how to balance the energy and humor making the show hip and cool with the gravitas it takes to confer the respect that each story deserves. Lastly, I love the sound production. I knew this was my favorite podcast when the show used the rapper Devin the Dude's Doobie Ashtray instrumental as transitional music during one episode.

This podcast delightfully threads the line between entertainment and history lesson, largely due to its charismatic and engaging host, Laine Kaplan-Levenson. She is able to skillfully pull out the best information as well as the personalities of both the living people she interviews and the historical figures she elucidates. This is a podcast not just for people who love New Orleans, or learning or history but for anyone who enjoys a good story and believes that the purpose of studying history is so that we don't repeat our past mistakes.

An excellent and entertaining short podcast about stories from New Orleans you've probably never heard of, or new details about familiar parts of the city. Great if you're from, in, or love New Orleans.

Amazing public history for New Orleans. Go LKL!!!

Laine is incredible-- this podcast covers so much important and fascinating history. It is always surprising, always informative, and so fun. I feel like I'm in a room with Laine, laughing and learning.

I love this. It is fascinating! Great show for those who can't get enough history or New Orleans.

Even as a New Orleans resident I am shocked to learn something new what seems like every episode. Fantastic podcast for New Orleans and history buffs alike.

Great stuff

Take a listen! Interesting discoveries about New Orleans history every episode. Laine is a great story teller.

I love hearing these fascinating and largely unknown, important bits of New Orleans history. I won't walk over streets in the French quarter without thinking about the caskets below or pass Delille street without thinking about Henrietta and what she and her friends accomplished. Thanks for this amazing podcast! It is enriching my NOLA experience.

One of my favorite podcasts! I have learned a lot from this podcast about New Orleans history. My only complaint is I wish they were longer. Download this podcast!

Intersting look at New Orleans lesser known history and a fresh take on old tales.

I've learned so much already. This podcast is a must-listen, especially for transplants like me who want to learn all about the city. It's very interesting and concise as well. Thanks, tripod!

This is one of my favorite in the world. The stories are incredible, the variety is stunning and the topics are fascinating!

TriPod is such a great show! It's a great for locals to learn an in-depth, intimate history that shows how the past has shaped the city, and also a great show about race, gender and history in the South for the rest of the country. Keep up the good work, Laine!

I love these 10 minute flashbacks into New Orleans history both recent and ancient. Laine has a fresh and funny style, easy to listen to.

Excellent storytelling. I love this. Cannot stop listening. I live in Boston now. With this podcast you can be a New Orleanian wherever you are !! #findyournola

I love these tasty little morsels of New Orleans history and culture. The range of topics is diverse and there is a lot of new info here even for history buffs.

I love this podcast....please tell me there are new episodes in the works!

History, New Orleans, Laine Kaplan-Levenson... what's not to love? Tripod is engaging, witty, and smart. It's clear that each story is carefully selected and researched. Several episodes shed light on social dynamics in New Orleans (race + ethnicity, gender, sexuality, etc), challenging listeners to both appreciate and question this city's past and present. I'm a loyal Tripod listener, and you should be too!

An outstanding chronicle, with an interesting mix of types of stories. It is one of the few pieces of media where I can count on truly losing myself in the story...great work by the TriPod team, and I can't wait for the next episodes!

I love hearing all of the interesting, little-known stories from around the city. It explains so much about the history and how that affects current day. Looking forward to hearing more!

Host Laine takes me on trips to other times and other worlds. I’m totally loving this podcast and feel like I’m learning a lot too. I love New Orleans and I super recommend this podcast.

New Orleans is so full of history! It's nice to hear the radio tackle some small snippets of it. History is so essential to understanding and putting in context our present. We hear endless news about the present, but without the knowledge of our local history, the real meaning of the news is almost completely lost. I hope this keeps going forever as some type of history program, especially with so many new people moving to New Orleans post-Katrina. Those new people need a way to come to understand the place they have moved to in a way that will allow them to integrate into our city without causing as much damage as they would've without the contextual understanding a program like this can help illuminate.

Thanks for all the work you do! This is such a great show and should be mandatory for all New Orleanians. It's so interesting and we have such a great history to explore here in the city.

I absolutely LOVE tripod. Every episode thus far has been both extremely entertaining and moving. Although Tripod is, strictly speaking, a podcast about particular historical moments in the city of New Orleans, the ideas and lessons drawn from each episode extend far beyond the time and place in which they are set -- they provide insight into so much of our contemporary world and speak not only to New Orleaneans but to those of us who are far away from the city. And, THAT HOST!!!!! She brings so much life and feeling to every episode, and I constantly find myself smiling along or laughing out loud. Bottom line is…. LISTEN!!!!!
