All The Waves

In their fourth episode of All the Waves, Katie and Zondra explore some of the hidden treasures across Louisiana's Northshore, St. Tammany Parish. They talk with Jamie Roche of the Friends of the Dew Drop, the historic rural jazz hall in old Mandeville, Jim MacPherson of Maritime Museum Louisiana in Madisonville, and Anthony Lott of Bayou Lacombe Museum in Lacombe. Hear some unknown facts about these local institutions as the ladies from Visit The Northshore hold court.

The third episode of All The Waves is all about the people and places that make The Northshore unique. Katie and Zondra get a chance to chat with Chef Sal Impastato on his turf when they visit his iconic restaurant, Sal & Judy's Restaurant in Lacombe. They discover that Mandeville native Amanda Shaw is as energetic during an interview as she is onstage with her fiddle, and Jennifer Wallace, General Manager of Fontainebleau State Park, tells the All The Waves crew about all the great things going on at that popular destination. So settle in, Wavers!

For their second episode of All the Waves, Katie and Zondra talk to Tina Rhinehart of the Mande Milkshakers, catch up with Andy Frisard of the Krewe of Dionysus in Slidell, and talk to four former queens for the city's Krewe of Selene: Margaret Diaz (2016), Dana Coslin (2019), Catherine Leach (2022), and Tawnya Sisco (2024). They end the two-episode special with a little more conversation with the perennial king of Mardi Gras, Arthur Hardy.
