  • "100213 The Will of Landru (or is that Landrieu)"
  •  
  • Summary: The 40 year old Star Trek episode, The Return of the Archons, features a society that celebrates a Mardi Gras festival and is lead by a guy named Landru. In yet another New Orleans' twist on reality, Mitch Landrieu was inaugurated as mayor of New Orleans during Mardi Gras 2010. Celebrating this Petri Dish of audio absurdity, mix up a gallon of Mardi Gras intoxicants with this radio show and the internet parallel presentation text and video clips from the Archons episode for an IMAX, 4D, "Theater of the Mind" experience. (Or maybe just another one of those weird Saturday night public radio shows.)
