DETOURS

In this episode of DETOURS, Jordan, Alex, and contributor John Wirt sit down with host of NPR's nationally-syndicated American Routes Nick Spitzer to discuss his career chronicling American music, particularly Louisiana's. Nick shares his tips for cultivating intimacy and trust in interviews with the three journalists, as well as countless tales from his conversations with American music legends from the Grateful Dead and Carlos Santana to Dewey Balfa and Alphonse "Bois Sec" Ardoin. He also fills us in on why he won't be running for governor of Louisiana anytime soon.
