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!

For this week's installment of our post-series compilation series, you're getting all of the commercials that ever aired on WRYAT. That's right, this super-sized super-cut finally guts the entirety of WRYAT's original programming, and all that remains is four and a half hours of pure, undiluted advertising. A show that consists of nothing but commercials was once thought to be but the fever dream of a mad man -- or many a mad man, if you will -- and thanks to WRYAT, every living thing on this planet can now experience that fever dream, buy each other drinks, and sing along in perfect harmony to the siren song of naked, shameless and invulnerable Capitalism at its most naked, shameless and invulnerable. Isn't that great? If you liked listening to all of these ads, you'll LOVE seeing about three of them re-enacted LIVE at WRYAT A-LIVE...AGAIN! only at Big Couch NOLA on August 13! Tickets on sale soon!

Welcome back to WRYAT's post-series compilation series! This week's installment spotlights our hit political radio talk show "Left, Right & Kenner." It's the dialogue we should be having as a nation, where we bring together those from all sides of the political spectrum to discuss the topics of the day.  If you love politics for some reason, you probably won't like this, as the "Kenner" part of the show's title factors heavily into the content of the show itself, which you probably could have already guessed. This is a comedy series, after all. And nothing's funnier than America, am I right? Or left? Or Kenner? Whatever, we have a live show coming up featuring "Left, Right & Kenner" along with several other WRYAT favorites on August 13 at Big Couch NOLA - located at 1045 Desire St Ste 101, New Orleans, LA 70117! Tickets on sale soon! You better get one once they are too because you do NOT want to miss the dialogue we should be having as a nation LIVE ON STAGE!

Three...two...one...action! It's time to listen to every entry in WRYAT's critically acclaimed hit movie review series, The Boomer Zoomer Movie Review! It's the only show of its kind to bring together two film critics from different generations to talk about all things movies! The critics themselves are, respectively, a boomer and a zoomer who are...actually named Boomer and Zoomer. Not sure how that happened, but at least their names are consistent. The name of this show isn't, however, and you'll realize that almost immediately, but to call it The Entire Filmography of The Boomer Zoomer Movie Review/The Zoomer Boomer Movie Preview/The Boomer Zoomer Movie Recap/The Zoomer Boomer Movie Review/The Boomer Zoomer Movie Preview/The Zoomer Boomer Movie Revue and The Boomer Zoomer Movie Recap would be downright silly. However, their show's title aside, Boomer and Zoomer the people remain true to themselves and their unbridled passion for cinema throughout, and in listening to their journeys through film history, you may just end up learning something new about yourself, art, or the world we live in. You will absolutely learn how many times a grown-ass man in his late 70s can get COVID and somehow continue to live, motivated almost solely by the selfish desire to go see Forrest Gump II again in theaters, even (especially?) if it means infecting literally everyone else in attendance with a potentially lethal virus. So if that sounds like a good time to you, congrats, you'll get all of it and more in this taut 200-minute package. WRYAT proudly presents The Boomer Zoomer (in either order) Movie Review (or any variation thereof): The Entire Filmography for your listening consideration. Thank you, and God Bless Hollywood, USA in America.

WRYAT is proud to present the latest installment in its ongoing-post-series-compilation-series: an exhaustive and thorough compendium collecting the complete case files of the hit series True Crime Brunch, the first and only radio show recorded at real brunches by Holly and Amber, two women of means who are OBSESSED with true crime! This all-inclusive anthology even contains their entire star-making investigation into the murder of WRYAT's most beloved on-air personality, Himby Jimby, goddess rest his soul! So join your two favorite childless murder-lovin' mommies as they tour all of the hippest brunch spots in New Orleans and darkest corners of the criminal psyche. If that sounds fun to you, then True Crime Brunch is exactly as fun as that sounds! Grab a fresh bagel and lox, a pint of your favorite orange juice and a gallon of your nearest vodka because it's time to shut up and listen to a veritable True Crime Brunch buffet, bitch!

Hey everybody! Welcome back to the second and final volume of The Loupe Guroo Musical Experience: The Collected Works! What does Loupe get up to in the second half of his WRYAT run, you ask? Welllllllllllllllllll... The King's crossing was the main attraction Dominoes falling in a chain reaction The scraping subject ruled by fear told me Whiskey works better than beer The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final And nobody gets a reprieve And every wave is tidal If you hang around you're going to get wet I can't prepare for death any more than I already have All you can do now is watch the shells The game looks easy that's why it sells Frustrated fireworks inside your head Are going to stand and deliver talk instead The method acting that pays my bills Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity And I get my check from the trash treasury Because I took my own insides out It don't matter 'cause I have no sex life And all I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife I've seen the movie And I know what happens It's Christmas time And the needles on the tree A skinny Santa is bringing something to me His voice is overwhelming But his speech is slurred And I only understand every other word Open your parachute and grab your gun Falling down like an omen, a setting sun Read the part and return at five It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive But I don't care if I f**k up I'm going on a date With a rich wife lady Ain't life great? Give me one good reason not to do it (Because we love you) So do it This is the place where time reverses  And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses Instruments shine on a silver tray Don't let me get carried away Don't let me get carried away Don't let me be carried away Alright everybody, thank y'a-woooooooolllllllllll for listenin' and loopin' with the guru of loops himself, Loupe Gooru, or Loupothy Albus Severus Gooru for long, or DJ Loupothy Albus Severus Gooru-Coyote for slightly longer! We hope you enjoyed your experience with The Loupe Gooru Musical Experience in its entirety, because this is literally all there is and all there'll ever be. It's too late for us to change anything now, so if you had notes this whole time, you shoulda listened to us and let us know back when we were still on the air sometime during, I dunno, THE PAST SEVEN YEARS?! Loupe would never say this to any one of you ungrateful m***********s but you pieces of shit don't deserve him, or any of WRYAT for that matter. Seven f*****g years and you couldn't be f*****g bothered. Seven f*****g years. The reason you think we never have to put up with any of your b******t is because we make it look like we're don't. We make it look like we don't because we care, and we thought you felt the same way. Trust us, we have had to put up with so, so, so much more from you than you could ever, ever, ever know.  Oh, don't try to explain yourself now. No excuses necssary. The goddamn show's over now anyway. And good news: you still never have to listen to it! Virtually nothing's changed for you, so sit back, relax and take a minute to just shut the f**k up. Just shut the f**k up. Shut the f**k up, and then howl, damn it! Howl and f**k off forever! (Unless, of course, you did actually listen to Loupe and WRYAT, in which case, thank you so much!)

Hey, everybody! Howl yawl doin'?  Oooooh, that is so good to hear. Ya know what else is good to hear? Music, of course! And who hears it better than WRYAT's own in-house (sometimes literally) on-air off-book DJ, Loupothy Albus Severus Gooru? Or "Loupe Gooru" for short? Or just "Loupe" for even shorter but only if you're on a first-name basis with each other? For years, DJ Loupe Gooru spun wild tales and led WRYAT listeners down magical mystery tracks of all things music in and around the Greater New Orleans Area. This first volume of his collected works chronicles his interviews with musicians, run-ins with coyotes, musical musings, and calendar after calendar of live music performances & venues from 2019 through the first two and a half months of 2020 before Loupe mysteriously went missing. Yes, there was also that pandemic, but nobody remembers or even cares about that anymore. Besides, a lot of that stuff was largely unrelated to whatever was going on in Loupe's life at the time. Of course, no one's really clear on what's happening in Loupe's life at any time, least of all Loupe. You'll learn that (and so much more) listening to his body of work in its entirety, and every question about the man that actually does get answered raises about ten other questions that will hopefully never receive anything resembling answers of any kind. Hey, don't ask about anything you don't wanna know about, you know? Because if you know anything, it's not to ask about everything, because you never know what you'll never wanna know, even if you think you wanna know.  You know? Alright, y'all! Get to listenin' to Loupe at his most musically-oriented in this volume, and be sure to check out less music but more Loupe in the second volume if ya give a coyote's howl! Then give us a coyote's howl, would ya? Come on, it's easy! Ya just open your mouth real wide while tryin' to purse your lips together at the same time and go "HOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWLLLLLLLOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!"  ...or something like that. I mean, the best I can do is guess. I'm a description, not a person.

Welcome to the second part of the first installment of our soon-to-be-ongoing-post-series-compilation-series! Submitted for your approval are the last 25 Boat Talk segments. When taken with the first 25 Boat Talk segments from part one, you get a grand total of 50 Boat Talk segments! That's more segments than any other recurring segment in WRYAT! And yet, it still feels like there's not enough. Could there be more Boat Talk in store? Are we destined to see (hear) Ronnie and Donnie on the water again someday? Maybe even someday soon?  I don't f****n' know, man. That's entirely up to the D'Amico family; you know it's way bigger than just Ronnie and Donnie, right? Anywho, everyone shut up and let's all grab a gargoyle of our own and start prayin' for 50 more Boat Talks while we enjoy the existing 50 Boat Talks we already have. May Mangus do the best He can to simulate a smile and simulate that smile upon thee. Ave D'Amico in Aeternum!

Welcome to the inaugural installment of our soon-to-be-ongoing-post-series-compilation-series! For your listening pleasure, please enjoy the first 25 "Boat Talk" segments back-to-back, just as Gannacarp and the WRYAT brass intended. See ya on the water!

Recorded before a-live audience on June 13, 2025 Oh, you guys didn't think WRYAT was actually ending, did you? I mean, it's not gonna be a podcast anymore, it's mostly gonna be just like what this episode is: a live show, complete with all the variations that come with it. Of course we're gonna keep doing WRYAT and WRYAT stuff, ya idiot! Yeah, everybody lived after the explosion that took out the entire studio last week. Well, everybody except Matthew Ray the janitor, viva los muertos. I only hope that in death he's found whatever he was looking for in life. RIP MR. We'll miss you as a person, as a friend, and especially as a janitor because the hiring process is a HUGE pain the ass. Ugggghhh, I don't get paid enough for hiring people who won't get paid enough.  Anywho, doesn't matter much as we don't have a studio at current, so until we do again, we'll be forced to perform all of our future shows live like this one. So be on the lookout for whatever we do next in 2026 and beyond, and if anyone knows a good janitor, or just one who doesn't want to kill us all by blowing up our workplace, please let us know. Thanks and have a happy new year or whatever kind of year you want.
