About this listen

New Orleans is not just a city—it’s a symphony of survival, celebration, and soul. From its founding in 1718 to the rhythms of modern renaissance, this cinematic narrative traces the Crescent City’s journey through empire, fire, flood, and funk.

Derek Monaghan brings history to life with vivid storytelling and emotional depth, exploring the city’s French and Spanish roots, its transformation under American rule, and the cultural fusion that birthed jazz, Mardi Gras, and Creole cuisine. Each chapter unveils a new facet—from the haunted beauty of the French Quarter to the resilience of communities after Hurricane Katrina.

Whether you’re a history lover, traveler, or cultural enthusiast, A Brief History of New Orleans offers a soulful, immersive portrait of a city that dances through disaster and sings through sorrow. It’s a tribute to the people, traditions, and spirit that make New Orleans unforgettable.
