WRYAT New Orleans Public Radio

Welcome back to WRYAT's post-series compilation series! This week's installment spotlights our hit political radio talk show "Left, Right & Kenner." It's the dialogue we should be having as a nation, where we bring together those from all sides of the political spectrum to discuss the topics of the day.  If you love politics for some reason, you probably won't like this, as the "Kenner" part of th...

And who hears it better than WRYAT's own in-house (sometimes literally) on-air off-book DJ, Loupothy Albus Severus Gooru? Or "Loupe Gooru" for short?

Recorded before a-live audience on June 13, 2025 Oh, you guys didn't think WRYAT was actually ending, did you? I mean, it's not gonna be a podcast anymore, it's mostly gonna be just like what this episode is: a live show, complete with all the variations that come with it. Of course we're gonna keep doing WRYAT and WRYAT stuff, ya idiot! Yeah, everybody lived after the explosion that took out the...

Well, that's it, I guess. That show with the lady talk-fighting with the hive mind, is done. The show with the 80s kids fighting scary monsters is done. The show with the sad kid in a giant robot fighting angels has been done for like 30 years. Everything is ending. But don't fear, cause like the pheonix that is Intellectual Property, just give it like 15 years and it will be back, baby! I just ho...

Remember in the 90s when toy companies were like, "Girls can bake little cakes, and that's cool. However, what can boys bake? We can't let them bake cakes as well. How will they ever make rap videos or play plumber man video games? Wait, what if we gave them a plastic box that has a light bulb hotter than the sun and give them metal plates to make bugs." Somewhere a dude retired on this idea. Now...

I can't tell you how much it means to me that this country is a melting pot of cultures. Nowhere else can I have a taco pizza and a pizza taco side-by-side on my plate. It makes me weep seeing how America let these two foods animorph into one another and stop it halfway. Not only that, but we reached across the aisle and were like, "You got taco meat on my pizza crust," and "You got pizza meat in...

I was walking down the street the other day when I saw a lemonade stand. It was a cute setup that a little girl had with her giant pitcher and princess cups. I was drawn to pay a dollar for a glass of lemonade to quench my thirst. As I was sipping the yellow tart nectar, the little girl proceeded to ask me who I voted for in the election. She asked if I thought the economy was in shambles or if I...

Werewolves are one thing, but the reverse werewolf is a creature of intrigue. I say this cuase I have a coffee date with a friend next week and need to up my philosophy game. Ain't no way I am not going in with some deep thoughts done thought up. So watch out, Jerry, I have a book of words that I have been annotating and 7 questions that will show off how I, too, can think of cool conversation-pro...

Dogs: Man's best friend. Cat's worst enemy. Horses' best reference for job applications. Yeah, this week is about dogs. Listen, I don't know much about dogs, and yes, I am on the do-not-adopt list at the local shelter. I'm not going to get into it here, but suffice it to say that Best Buy should rethink its policies and that there is no rule that a dog can't wear a polo and can't sign off on givin...

Oh, it's my favorite time of year. The time when I can wear my fanciest suit. Get a nice flattering haircut. And roll out the red carpet. This is the only way to properly appreciate Arby's. MMMM Arby's. The horse sauce alone deserves to be honored with a plaque and a heartfelt thank you speech. Oh, oh, the curly fries should have a special category just for the best shape. I would die from anticip...

We are back.   Like that movie about the dinosaurs that use trucks as skateboards. But instead of doing cool tech deck Ford F-150 tricks, we use soundwaves. Listen we looked at Freedom of Speech this week and metaphors and similies are on the table again. No more being direct with our language. We can draw comparisons. We can allude. We can hint at. All this power at our disposal with just a simpl...

Politics today. Am I right? One dude yelling into another dude's mouth. Like a momma bird giving a baby worm chew. It's really beautiful. Nature is crazy, though. Like, this girl I knew in grade school once found one of those baby birds under a tree, and she took it home to raise it. Every night she feed it wet dog food and gave it water. Like, after a month, the thing grew up and was fluttering a...

There are times in life when you have had a rough day and all you want to do is grab a pizza and lay on the couch to watch a movie. The comfort of finally relaxing after being overworked by Tammy at the office. Getting her coffee and listening to her talk about how cute her kids are. How overbearing it is that she comes to check on you around lunch to see if you want to join several others at the...

They say your memory is like a sponge. They say sponges soak up stuff but not everything. They say the movie The Stuff is a masterpiece of cinema and eventually the critics will wake up to its level of humor and horror that merges so seemlessly into a velvety concoction. Anywho, we totally look at brain stuff this week on this week's episode of WRYAT.

Seems like only yesterday we were just a fledgling fifth-ranked New Orleans public radio station trying to make it on our own in the cutthroat world of local broadcast journalism. Now we're a bigtime fifth-ranked New Orleans public radio station that's an esteemed member of the nationally syndicated Public Radio Now network. Gosh, time just flies by, and it reminds me to stop every so often and lo...

The WRYAT station is now affiliated with Public Radio Now, so the national syndicate is holding a pledge drive to raise funds for a studio appropriate for humans. This special is in no way endorsed by public radio competitors NPR, WWNO, or the New World Order.

Lo and behold, WRYAT tackles comedy in the only way we know how, by loudly saying something is funny and not laughing, by explaining the joke for longer than the actual joke, and lastly, by asking you to come to our improv recital. Seriously, I got one coming up and I know I'm only a Level 3-Alpha 7, but if I can get three friends to come and one of them to sign up, I will have finally earned enou...
