OATL31: Joshua Starkman for Mayor!?!? Live Music from James McClaskey & the Rhythm Band!
A tuxedoed "Mayor" Starkman joins Howie and Scully in the King Room for a discussion about the campaign. Yes It is real; he will be on the ballot! He shares several of his policy proposals including elimination of liability for all corporations, encouragement of bribery, expansion of bureaucracy (it creates jobs!), and a promise that on day one he will send all Louisiana bound hurricanes to Florida. He celebrates current Mayor Cantrell saying, "She flew so I could run!" Find out more on Instagram @starkmanformayor
Later we are joined by musician and influencer Joshua Starkman who explains how and why he made New Orleans home, how he deals with the ups and downs of an online life, whether "Have a Great Day" is sarcastic or sincere, and why its important that the artist persona be multi-dimensional.
James McClaskey and the Rhythm Band provide three hot live tracks!!!
