Episode 24: Cajun French—From the Schoolhouse to WWII
In this episode of the Frenchie Podcast, we explore the remarkable transformation of Cajun French from a language discouraged in Louisiana classrooms during the 1920s to a valuable military asset during World War II. Featuring rare archival audio discovered at the Center for Louisiana Studies, listeners will hear an extraordinary conversation between two legendary Cajun veterans and Louisiana National Guard leaders—Gen. Bob LeBlanc and Gen. Curney Dronet. Together, these two Acadian citizen soldiers discuss language, identity, military service, and the emergence of a new pride in being Cajun during and after the war.

Episode 23: Les Femmes Frenchie
In this special episode of Frenchie, host Jason Theriot is joined by his daughter and guest co-host, Mae Theriot, to spotlight the stories of two Cajun women who served their country during World War II. The episode features the voice of Army Nurse Lt. Effie Tanner Logan of Lafayette, who spent eighteen months overseas caring for wounded soldiers in North Africa and Italy during some of the most difficult campaigns of the war. Listeners also meet Beulah Dugas of St. Martinville, a Cajun “Rosie the Riveter” who left home to weld Liberty ships at the Delta Shipbuilding yards in New Orleans. Together, their stories highlight the vital role Louisiana women played both on the front lines and on the home front—reminding us that the French-speaking Cajun generation contributed to victory in many ways. Team Theriot is also joined by Monica Ordonez, award-winning director of "Love Letter of WWII" that features a Frenchie love story: www.melangedanceofnola.com/love-letters-of-wwii

Episode 22: Promise of Faith--The John Mestayer Story
Of all the hundreds of interviews I’ve done with WWII veterans over the many years, this one ranks at the very top of the “truly remarkable” category. John Mestayer was a soft-spoken fellow, kind and courteous, and led an infantry platoon into combat in France with the 95th Infantry Division. He was the only WW2 veteran in my hometown who wore an eye patch—a wartime injury that stayed with him his whole life. Some said it was from a sniper bullet; others said it was from shrapnel. No one really knew, because he never talked about it--until 2003, when I interviewed him for the "To Honor Our Veterans" oral history project. This a story of faith, courage, leadership, and duty—and it speaks to the humility of that great generation.
