Think Creole and Cajun are the same? Think again, baby. Shika Denise breaks down the bold, beautiful differences between two of Louisiana’s richest cultures—food, roots, and all the juicy history in between.

Two killers, one cursed state. Shika Denise dives into the bloody stories of Clementine Barnabet, the teenage axe-swingin' “voodoo priestess,” and the Axeman of New Orleans, the jazz-loving phantom who left a city terrified. Murder, mystery, cults, and chaos—this ain’t your grandma’s history lesson. Welcome to Bayou and Bullsht*.

Forget the glamorous socialite portrayed in fiction; we're dissecting the documented historical evidence and separating fact from sensationalism to uncover the real Madame Delphine LaLaurie, a woman whose lavish lifestyle hid a secret chamber of horrors.

Plaçage was a significant part of New Orleans' history and lore and was often depicted in artwork, films, and articles. However, some say that the common understanding of plaçage is a myth. The Haitian Revolution led to thousands of Haitian refugees fleeing to New Orleans in the early 1800s, and some say that this created a reputation for the city.

Free people of color--people of African descent who lived in colonial and antebellum America and were born free or escaped the bonds of slavery before it was abolished in 1865--made significant contributions to the economies and cultures of the communities in which they lived but held an anomalous status in the racial hierarchy of the day. Inhabiting this place in between made their ambiguous and incongruent status one of the most talked about “problems” of the first half of the nineteenth century, yet their story has been largely overshadowed by the harsh story of slavery.

In this episode I will discuss some basic facts about the Pelican State. Starting with the early inhabitants of the land and ending with the different culture groups. Come on in an grab a seat and come on this neverending tour of Louisiana.
