The World That Made New Orleans: From Spanish Silver to Congo Square | 
pickI listened to this in prep for vacay time! It focused heavily on the 18th and19th centuries with only a chapter or two on more contemporary times. I was hoping for more balance…but now I know all about its time as alternating French and Spanish settlements along with it being the main hub for the slave trade in the US in the 50 or so years leading up to the Civil War. It was so informative I zoned out of long periods of time 😴
