“Louisiana Haywire,” a show and podcast that highlights music artists and their stories, has been selected for distribution by Public Radio Exchange (PRX). This non-profit organization distributes and promotes public radio programming across the country. Louisiana Haywire is recognized for exploring the musical history of Northwest Louisiana. In addition to supporting this Shreveport-based podcast, PRX distributes other programs, including “Afropop Worldwide,” a Peabody Award-winning radio show dedicated to music from Africa and the African diaspora.
According to a press release, “Louisiana Haywire” is a playful homage to the legendary Shreveport radio program, “The Louisiana Hayride.” This show played a significant role in launching the careers of renowned artists such as Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley, among many others. The premiere episode of “Haywire” features Estelle Brown from Shreveport, who sang backup for Elvis Presley in Las Vegas from 1969 until his death.
