You'll also hear Harris throwing back a beer at LaPolitics HQ while chatting about art, wine, love, Mardi Gras, RVs, convenience stores and piano lessons. Plus, this episode kicks off with an audio clip recorded 44 years ago of late Gov. Jimmie Davis and consultant Gus Weill explaining the best ways to get a horse inside the State Capitol building. (You have to hear it to believe it.) As a bit of lagniappe, you'll likewise learn LaPolitics' "Top 10 Don'ts of Political Campaigning." Well... you'll at least get the first five.
