We interview leaders, vendors and musicians at the festival, and learn why it’s important to preserve the music and culture of New Orleans. This episode also includes segments from Homer Plessy and 826 New Orleans. Then at the rectangle table we meet with some local comedians to play Would You Rather.

Nishat Kurwa is the SVP and Executive Producer of Vox Media Podcast Network, leading podcasting across Vox Media's house of editorial brands and its network of outside partners, overseeing programming strategy, new show development, and the Vox Media Studios' podcast production team.
They have over 150 active shows — from daily news and policy, to tech and business, to culture and sports. Let me put it this way, Nishat knows her stuff and is truly an OG in the audio world.
We talk about her journey at Vox Media, her time at Youth Radio and the positive impact the experience has had on her career, and what it's like to be on the editorial as well as business side of things. She tells me why she continues to be bullish when it comes to the podcast industry, potential disruptive trends that we should understand, and what factors she evaluates when developing new shows for the network.
We also discuss the number one concern she hears from her mentees, what it was like working at places where no one looked like her, what success looks like for her now, and how she wants to be remembered by those closest to her.
Producer Jai Moore talks to freelance reporter Julia Kanapathippillai for this bonus episode on the annual queer student conference Queer Collaborations (QC).
