Dis Taste of New Orleans is not included in this one because it was included in the last one. It is also rarely, if ever, about food at all. Bon appetit!)

New Orleans was once a main entry port for hundreds of thousands of immigrants, and it was 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 across two different shows, respectively: 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!

We're letting our OTHER sister not-even-for-non-profit radio 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. 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 not all one-shots are created equal, and that's why the title of this compilation looks the way it does. For alongside the one-shots so prominently featured on this week's extra large marathon, WRYAT proper has also included every one-shot adjacent miniseries (any series with three or fewer segments total) ever aired across its historic eight-year run. Yes, sometimes one segment is all you need, but most of the time, one segment isn't enough to get across your vision for a particular project, and that's why you'll give it a second or third try, even though it's becoming more and more apparent with each attempt that it's just not working out the way you wanted, and you've really gotta call it quits on this idea soon because you still have a ton of important shit to do that you've been either putting off or outright ignoring in your crazed quest to harness the full artistic potential of "The Orleans Food & Follow Up Show" on your silly voice comedy podcast that you do with your friends for free.  ANYWAY, 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 all that WRYAT outwardly chose to offer! See you again in a few weeks for a few more compilations! Have a safe and spooky Labor Day, everyone!

Art. Culture. History. These used to be considered pretty important. So important, in fact, one could argue (and many did) that they once acted as the three foundational pillars responsible for upholding all of civilized society. At some point, for whatever reason, society decided it was done with things like reading, writing, learning, caring, sharing, growing, progressing, and reading (especially reading) and consciously uncivilized itself so thoroughly that, nowadays, we no longer have any resources (both literal and figurative) to invest in either humanity or the humanities. What do we have instead of art, culture and history in the present day, you ask? Well, we have AI (which everyone hates), AI data centers (that everyone hates), and a functionally illiterate pedophile for president (who everyone hates). But at least no one has to read anymore! Anyway, this week's compilation comes straight from the many prefabricated vaults of the historic WRYAT archive, and it consists of all officially released WRYAT material covering art, culture and history in New Orleans. If you're feeling nostalgic for one or more of those three things, and you've already received approval from Chat GPT to listen to this podcast, go ahead and give this super-sized culturist's collection a whirl! Chat GPT will be glad you did! 

Sup, dudes? We're kicking it to our sister college radio station for our post-series compilation series this week with The Chronological Tedward Chronicles! This extra special collection spotlights the young Tedward Murphy, who grew up before our ears, as he literally came of age hosting no fewer than three separate WRYAT shows across two separate WRYAT stations during WRYAT's eight-season tenure. Frequently paired with his best friend and original college roommate, Steve-O (no, not that one), Tedward attempts to learn a lot about life over the course of the hit college radio program Dorm Talk, a talk show about dorm life, which eventually transitions into Tedward Talks, a post-graduation talk show about Tedward's life, which itself eventually transforms into TedEx, a young adult talk show about Tedward's and his many exes' lives. Navigating your 20s is oftentimes stressful and difficult, but ol' Tedward's here to show you that it could always be a lot weirder and worse. So sit back, relax, grab your nearest Novelty Water Pipe, box of Slim Jims and case of Mountain Dew: Code Beer because it's time to get acquainted with Tedward, dude. At the very least, you're guaranteed to learn more about the world listening to this podcast than Tedward has ever learned about literally anything at all, and he's gonna be in hella student loan debt for the rest of his life. Ah, but he'd do it all again the exact same way if you gave him the chance. His has a very limited skill set, you see. Anyway, enjoy the show(s), dudes!
