Obligations lives!!! (We were just on summer break.) Howie and Scully are back with special guest: influencer and French Quarter vintage clothing store owner Chris Olsen. He popped into the King Room to discuss his journey into French Quarter small business advocacy and beyond.

He shares how growing up he developed a love for antiques from his father and how his previous job in advertising set him up with the tools required to advocate publicly for causes specific to the French Quarter. He tells us the role he played in saving the French Quarter School, helping the restaurant Mona Lisa renew its lease, and drawing attention to the senseless removal of the world famous decades old Tujagues sign. He gives us his views on the current mayoral race (spoiler: he's voting for his friend Joshua Starkman!!! JK) and explains why it is important as business owners to weigh in on politics regardless of consequences. And if you missed his sold out Vintage Fest at House of Blues, don't worry -- he shares the news that there are more on the horizon!!!

Clint Maedgen of Preservation Hall/Bingo Show/Liquidrone shares two hot tracks from his new band -- Bandapandas!!!
