  • Host has severe stuttering problem

    This show could have been good based on the variety of subject matter, but the host has no business running a podcast. He has a stuttering problem that is so off-putting that I don’t feel like listening. The stuttering feels contagious.

While placage does have historical roots via Haitian refugees to the city after The Haitian Revolution, Placage was not a popular practice in New Orleans by free women of color. This myth is dama... more
