{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Episode 167: New Orleans Black History & Madame Lalaurie","description":"Today, we’re taking a journey to the heart of New Orleans — a city whose rhythm, flavor, and soul are deeply rooted in Black history. You’ll hear about traditions that have turned resistance into celebration and survival into art. In part 2 of this episode, I’m going to tell you the very dark tale of Madame Delphine LaLaurie and hopefully help you separate the fact from the folklore.\n\nThis week, we discuss black history, folklore, traditions, and twisted tales from New Orleans, Louisiana.\n\n------\n\nWAYS TO SUPPORT & CONNECT:\n\nJoin the Patreon (https://patreon.com/perplexitymysterypodcast) for perks and ad free episodes!\nHit that follow button, drop a 5 star review, and spread the word!!!\nBuy Kaydra a coffee (https://buymeacoffee.com/perplexitymysterypodcast) and get a shoutout!\nMerch!
