LEGAL UNDERGROUND PODCAST Episode #48 . . . On today's show:  A blow-by-blow account of my recent trip to New Orleans. Running time: 15 minutes.

Remember, you don't need an iPod to listen to podcasts! Here are two alternative ways to listen: 

• Direct from the Feed. Follow this link to my Feedburner page, which contains a list of all my podcasts in reverse chronological order. From there, you can simply click on the link you want to hear. As long as you have speakers, your computer should be able to play the show.

Evan,

Nice piece. That beehive is the inception of gentrification, which I believe will occur -- whether the city exists 100 years from now or not. It is a weird science.

As you know my film maker is from St. Louis and I have an uncle there; thought about following a tennis buddy of mine down to N'awlins in the 90's but lost his contact info.

Then there is the special email from another American Tower victim of 2002 who had returned to live near his mother:

We're gearing up for 21st Century technology over here; thanks for the advice a year ago -- even if it resulted in the immediate production of an indictment and the fact that they have been in my ass with the regularity of a metronome:
