Must Listen for Anyone Traveling to Mardi Gras

Learn the history, get the inside scoop on the traditions, and experience carnival from multiple perspectives. Episodes are clearly marked so you can enjoy them out of order, or jump to the topics that specifically interest you. There are a couple of sound issues in the early episodes but didn’t impact my overall enjoyment.
