It's Acadiana

It's Acadiana is your home for podcasts by and about tous les Acadiens. Acadiana has a history richer than any part of America. It's unfolding today. Every day.

What's interesting about that history is, it didn't suddenly stop. Everywhere. In small towns, farms, bayous, all the way to Hub City, Lafayette. There is no shortage of great storytellers in Acadiana. But there aren't too many places Acadiens can tell their stories online or on radio. That's why we're here. It's Acadiana is an online gathering ground for storytellers of all stripes. For stories a

bout music, business, sports, farm life, city life, the good times and the arguments. It's our oral history. As it happens. It's Acadiana.
