    One of my most favorite things to do is laugh. Seriously. There are some things you cannot do with others. I could name a few but one thing you don't do is laugh at a funeral. Don't do that.

    BUT! LAUGH your butt off with anyone YOU SO CHOOSE, anywhere else!

    When you do, appropriately, you create this moment with others that disperses quickly!

    In that moment, you produce this burst of brightness. Either within yourself, or even more effective, with others!

    Today we welcome an amazing Comedian that recently graced our Nola's own, Dirty Coast Apparel shop to record her very first NATIONAL Comedy show!

    Jessica Michelle Singleton joined me to not only talk about her freaking hilarious and brand new comedy special, BUT her driving force to be who and where she is right now.

    Not sure if yall know this or not but or FEMALES of our country are outnumbered in this amazing profession and I will go out there and say probably in most professions! This gal is FUNNY you guys. Please listen to this and show her some love by watching this insanely comedy special taped at Dirty Cost!

    Find all of her laughter at: www.punchup.live

  • Gay Pride with Author Garrett Glaser & Gay Psychologist, Brian Spitulnik
    2025/06/06

    Send us a text

    You know every season, I track down the most inspiring people I can find. Gay Pride is no different! This month is packed with amazing interviews from awesome humans that make this world a better place for all of us!

    This week, we continue on with our "NolaPapa Reads" segment, sponsored in part by our friends at Cafe Du Monde! Garrett Glaser has just released his new memoir and it checks all my boxes!

    A journalist for 30 years, Garrett Glaser traveled the world covering "beats" as diverse as international development, street crime, business and Hollywood. As a business reporter at CNBC, he conducted live interviews with hundreds of CEO's, politicians, analysts, regulators and activists.

    Earlier, Glaser spent a total of 12 years as a reporter for WABC-TV New York, WPLG-TV Miami, Entertainment Tonight and KNBC-TV Los Angeles.

    At Entertainment Tonight, Garrett interviewed a diverse group of celebrities and notables, including George H.W. Bush, Mariah Carey, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Robert DeNiro, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Harrison Ford, Mick Jagger, Rosie O'Donnell, Gwyneth Paltrow,Julia Roberts, Diana Ross, Sting and Elizabeth Taylor. He also traveled to a maximum-security prison to interview mass murderer Charles Manson.

    And Garrett‘s new book, titled “Fairy Boy”, he talks about all of it. Including coming out on air in 1994. You can find his memoir everywhere, but it is number one on Amazon! Find Garret's new book here! https://a.co/d/4avVe7t

    Then later,

    We welcome NYC's hottest gay therapists. Brian Spitulnik is a licensed psychologist in New York City that specializes in helping gay men through their own traumas. His instagram reels organically popped up one day and I was living for it. Brian has a way with cutting through bull shit that gets straight to the underlying point. Throughout my own life, I have pockets full of PTSD and Brian was able to pull a fast one and turn around the interview from him- TO ME! I was no expecting that and it was really good for my mind. I highly recommend Brian to any gay out there, whether in NYC or Kansas! He does virtual sessions and you definitely won't regret it!

    Find Brian here: https://www.brianspitulnik.com/

  • Here's to ALL the Teachers & Moms Out There!
    2025/05/09

    Send us a text

    Teacher's Appreciation AND Mother's Day in the same week?! Boy what a packed show! Each year we highlight amazing teachers that help shape our children's lives every single day.

    This year we welcomed back Mr. Greg from The Kindergarten Smorgasboard! This time he is an AUTHOR! We are so happy for him as he starts out this exciting new portion of his platform!

    Meet Greg Smedley-Warren, affectionately known as “Mr. Greg,” an experienced, current kindergarten educator and the creative mind behind The Kindergarten Smorgasboard. With an impressive 19-year teaching journey, Greg’s expertise spans various grade levels, including a brief stint in fifth grade and two years in second grade. However, it was a reluctant transition to kindergarten that unveiled his true passion and calling. Never wanting to teach kindergarteners, Greg’s journey took a turn when he discovered an instant connection on the very first day of kindergarten. From that moment on, he knew kindergarten was his calling. Fuelled by his dedication to his students, Greg has proudly remained in the kindergarten classroom for 16 years, continually inspired by the boundless energy and curiosity of his students.

    Mr. Greg posted something that went absolutely VIRAL and he and his husband have not looked back since!

    To learn more about Mr. Greg go to thekindergartensmorgasboard.com.

    __________________________________________________________________________________________________


    Then later we celebrate the mamas out there. I cannot imagine what yall go through! So strong, so resilient. I could only wish to be as much. For a couple of years now at nolapapa.com, we have introduced our small group of writers that help to showcase the complexities of society. Well... one of those writers comes a sassy chica named Becky Balfe. Becky, Becky, Becky. Boy oh boy. This one here, yall. She's a doozy. Well more specially - my original podcast cohost. But even before that, she was an editor for a GIANT platform called lovewhatmatter.com.

    She reached out to me to write an article that went freaking viral. And then forward, we've annoyed each other ever since! I love Beck. She is the model of resiliency. But what really shines is our ability to be the best damn mom on this planet. Her son is 13 now and they live their BEST LIVES let me tell you. Living with Lupus and ongoing health issues, Becky is an exemplary mom, cat lover, and human. I am so grateful the universe catapulted our paths to align.

    I asked Becky to write another article in addition to being a guest this week on the show. And she done blew my damn mind. She came out the damn closet!!!! AND I was the first person she came out to! Unbeknownst to me!

    Love you, Beck. And to all the other mama's- including my 3 moms.... Happy Mother's Day and I love you!!

  • Another Round of Ochsner's Milk-Bank Miracles & A Homelessness Report from Council Member Lesli Harris
    2025/05/02

    Send us a text

    I am truly excited about this new segment brought to ya' by Ochsner's Childrens' Hospital!

    Milk-Bank Miracles with Dr. Harley Ginsberg will shine light on what the NICU is and what hospitals do to keep our little, itty bitty nuggets alive! It really is miraculous.

    Dr. Ginsberg is the founder and medical director of Mothers' Milk Bank of Louisiana at Ochsner Baptist. He has written chapters for medical textbooks on neonatology and has published scientific medical articles in the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of Perinatology, and Clinics in Perinatology among others. Dr. Ginsberg's professional interests include the use of donor human milk to prevent neonatal intestinal disease as well as the role of human milk in infection prevention.

    I am blown away by this opportunity to partner with him and open a window for our audience to learn more not only about his Mother's Milk-Bank but also the guided hand to learn about the NICU! (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.)

    To learn more about this go to: www.ochsner.org

    _______________________________________________________________________________________________

    Then later we welcome New Orleans Council Member Lesli Harris to hear about what our city is doing to combat our homeless crisis.

    I met Council Member Harris one hot and blazey summer afternoon and since then, she has graced our show with her smile and passion for our city. I was so inspired by her devotion in this area of SO MANY areas to focus on. I learned by our interview that over 200 individuals have been rehabilitated through the "Home For Good Program" (https://homeforgoodneworleans.org)

    Over 1,000 individuals have been taken off the street and ARE GIVEN recourses in all aspects of life; not to only get them off the streets, but to give them dignity, confidence and motivation to get back up and make the next day better than the last.

    I wish you could see Council Member Lesli Harris' eyes when she presents the raw data, stats and numbers that really are jolting. There were a couple of topics that we didn't see quite eye to eye, but that is what civil dialogue is and unfortunately has been lost in our country for some time now.

    I came to her with urgency because of a situation that happened with me and my family in the Marigny a couple of months back. It startled me, and I felt helpless. I don't like that feeling, ESPECIALLY when my babies are with me. My fear is that if the homeless numbers don't fall, the Governor will come in without warning and sweep the city before the city council, mayor, police chief etc. can do one thing.

    I am encouraged by the newly released nola.com article that showed Council Member Lesli's vision. IS WORKING. And that bottom line is all I truly worry about. Her candor, smile and authenticity won me over from the beginning and I am still living for it.

    THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS!

  • It's Jazz Fest with Ian McNulty & A Couple of NewYork Times Best Sellers!
    2025/04/25

    Send us a text

    Can you feel it? Well, if you don't live in New Orleans right now, maybe not but LIVE IT vicariously through me and my family! Douglas and my oldest daughter LOVE Jazz Fest. Me, you may ask? Nope. I went back 13 years ago to surprise my sweet mama! We took her to see Al Green and it was epic. It was hot. It was super bright and my skin turned 7 shades of red. I'm good on that, but I LOVE to see the happiness flow through my family and the rest of partakers.

    This year, I thought it would be super cool to welcome the King of Food Reviews and All things NOLA! Who none other than NOLA.COM's inspirational food and culture writer, Ian McNulty! And y'all... he is the REAL DEAL.

    Foodies are intimidating, usually. Remember that guy that would come to review the food in the Disney movie Ratatouille? Ok- well that is NOT Ian. I was able to sit down and really hear the passion in his voice and the love in his heart for New Orleans.

    Ian McNulty has been writing about the life and culture of New Orleans since 1999 as a reporter, columnist, and author. He is a staff writer for the New Orleans Advocate, where he focuses on the food culture of one of the world's great food cities, and his radio commentaries air weekly on the New Orleans NPR affiliate. He is author of A Season of Night: New Orleans Life after Katrina and Louisiana Rambles: Exploring America's Cajun and Creole Heartland, both published by University Press of Mississippi. The latter was named one of the top travel books by the Society of American Travel Writers. (courtesy google.com)

    Sit down, grab some Iced Tea and get inspired by Mr. McNulty's journey from North to South and all in between.

    Find his book all over and here! https://www.amazon.com/Season-Night-Orleans-after-Katrina/dp/1934110914

    ______________________________________________________________________________________________

    Then later, we welcome New York Times Best Selling Duo from the Illustrated Baby Sitter's Club series and the Superman Adventures Comics, Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud!

    The two teamed up with Scholastic to create a children's novel that allow kids' own wheels to turn while submerging them into a world that explores their own understanding of topics like death.

    My oldest daughter loved it. It was so cute to see her curled up on the couch or her bed reading this book with such pride. She was so excited to review it for me.

    "Makayla is bursting with ideas but doesn't know how to make them into a story. Howard loves to draw, but he struggles to come up with ideas and his dad thinks comics are a waste of time. Lynda constantly draws in her sketchbook but keeps focusing on what she feels are mistakes, and Art simply loves being creative and is excited to try something new. They come together to form The Cartoonists Club, where kids can learn about making comics and use their creativity and imagination for their own storytelling adventures!"

    Find this BRAND NEW and NEWLY RELEASED BOOK EVERYWHERE! Like... Literally!
