Yes, my apartment went up in a blaze. Thankfully the fire department was quick and nobody was injured, but much of the complex got damaged. The unit that caught was below me, and I had my windows open at the time (wasn't home when it started), so sadly my microphone got damaged by a mixture of smoke and heat. There will be a donation link below if you care to help fund a new one.
But today's episode is about a fire as well. One that claimed far too many lives in New Orleans in 1973. Listen for the whole story surrounding the 1973 UpStairs lounge fire.
