   WRYAT: Dis Is New Orleans!

   New Orleans was once a main entry port for hundreds of thousands of immigrants, and it is their blend of different customs and cultures that made this great city into what it is today. And what is it today, you ask? Well, in this part of our ongoing post-series compilation series, New Zealander Geoffrey "Jazz" Reynolds and Russian Pudlow (Last Name Not Given) attempt to answer that question in respective series of their own: Dis Taste of New Orleans (a food & culture review show) and Dis Place New Orleans (a travel & culture showcase show). The discoveries each New Orleans immigrant makes as they experience life in The Big Easy may surprise you, but depressingly, they probably won't. This country is an intensely xenophobic place and it is desperately clinging onto its hatred and bigotry with everything it has left. So, with that in mind, we hope you enjoy meeting Jazz, Pudlow, and New Orleans itself in WRYAT: Dis Is New Orleans!

   WRYAT-INDIE presents The (Mostly) One-Shots: A Deep Cut Deep Dive

   We're letting our other sister not-even-for-non-profit station take the reins this week, and that's why this compilation looks the way it does. WRYAT-INDIE may technically qualify as a label, but that's the only label they'll accept, and they wanted their installment of our post-series compilation series to showcase all of the standalone, independent & non-recurring segments⁠—or "one-shots"⁠—that aired on WRYAT proper over the years. WRYAT-INDIE admirably wants to acknowledge the programming that aired once and only once on WRYAT. Sometimes, you really do get everything perfect on one go-round. You've said all you need to say and what you ended up having to say was the final word. There's a lot of integrity in that. WRYAT proper loves WRYAT-INDIE's spirit but WRYAT proper has to pay the non-profit (and sometimes private) radio bills, too. We recognize and commend WRYAT-INDIE for their commitment to obscure-or-otherwise-lesser-known-public-and-local radio-parody-podcast-sketch-comedy preservation. WRYAT proper also wants to acknowledge that we've been in this non-profit, private, profit and non-private business long enough to understand that, with some segments, everything falls into place so organically that you're able to knock them out of the park on your first try. Sometimes, you catch a break. You usually don't though, as most things in life rarely come together easily, if it all. Not all one-shots are created equal, and that's why the title of this compilation looks the way it does. For alongside those single-installment-exclusives chosen for this single-installment-exclusive-focused marathon, WRYAT proper has included any miniseries (with three or fewer segments to its name) ever aired across its historic eight-year run. Yes, sometimes one segment is all you need. And sometimes, you love your idea for something so much that you will give it two or three more chances (and would give it infinitely more, if possible) even though it's becoming more and more clear with each attempt that your passion project is just not working out the way you pictured, and you're confronted with the fact that you're gonna have to say goodbye to it for now (and potentially forever) soon and then try to move forward⁠—because you have a ton of other shit to do that you've been putting off or outright ignoring to try and realize your vision for "The Orleans Food & Follow Up Show" on your silly voice comedy podcast that you do with friends for free. SO WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, and as we head into yet another ghost-filled Labor Day weekend, please enjoy WRYAT-INDIE's presentation of "The (Mostly) One (to Three)-Shots: A Deep Cut Deep Dive," and hear all that WRYAT had to offer apart from WRYAT outwardly chose to offer! See you again in a few weeks!
