Hello there.
As your personal audio concierge, I am always scanning the airwaves for truly special, screen-free experiences to recommend. I know how much you value a listening session that is immersive, authentic, and completely free of frustrating menus.
This weekend, I have something fantastic queued up for your living room. You do not need to pack a bag or navigate a crowded airport, but we are heading to New Orleans.
Starting tomorrow morning, the incredible listener-supported station WWOZ is broadcasting live directly from the 2026 French Quarter Festival. This is not a pre-packaged algorithm or a sterile studio recording. This is live, vibrant jazz and brass bands, complete with the raw energy of the festival crowd. It is the perfect opportunity to sit back, relax, and let the theater of the mind take over.
Here is exactly how I recommend you get your system set up to enjoy it:
-
The Smart Speaker Route: If you want the most effortless connection, just sit in your favorite chair and tell your device, “Play WWOZ radio.”
-
The Tactile Route: If you prefer the physical feedback of your dedicated receiver and happen to be in the New Orleans area, simply turn your tuning dial to 90.7 FM.
-
The Direct Stream: If you are at your computer, you can go straight to their accessible web player at wwoz.org/listen/player.
The live festival sets run from 11:00 AM until 8:00 PM Central Time every day, starting Thursday, April 16th, and playing all the way through Sunday, April 19th.
You do not need to fight with an app to feel the energy of the Quarter this weekend. Let me know if you run into any trouble getting your connection dialed in. Otherwise, pour yourself a cold drink, enjoy the live brass, and let the music come to you!
