In September 2021, the was launched with the idea we would be different than other shows that covered sports in and around southeast h. Sure, we focused on the Saints with leans to LSU, the Pelicans and Tulane, among other topics, but we wanted to find a way to give the viewers and listeners a voice.

It may have taken a while, and although we started as an audio-only podcast, we have evolved to what the original vision was: And that is to talk to you.

On milestone Episode 300 , host Jim Derry brings in three regular commenters onto the show as guests. Also, he continues to read comments from other regulars and new members of the Dattitude Family, as we all try to figure out how to fix the New Orleans Saints and predict the outcome of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
