Today’s show is a true New Orleans cultural deep dive. Richard talks about Twelfth Night, the history of the Three Kings, and what the tradition means to New Orleans. He also shares the fascinating story behind Brenda Lee’s “Papa Noel” — how the song came to be, who wrote it, and the Cajun references woven throughout. Plus, a wrap-up of the year and Richard’s take on last week’s much-talked-about falling plate incident at Commander’s Palace.
