30 for 30 podcast -- The reinvention of New Orleans' cursed, blessed Superdome

According to local legend, the Louisiana Superdome has always been haunted, built atop an abandoned cemetery, plagued by construction problems and bedeviling its home team, the New Orleans Saints. Their luck was so bad that by 2005, the Saints were prepared to abandon the stadium and move to San Antonio.

Then Hurricane Katrina hit, and everything changed.

A new episode of 30 for 30 podcasts intertwines the history of the Superdome with the history of New Orleans. After Katrina, the iconic stadium became the scene for real and invented horror stories for the displaced New Orleanians who sheltered there.
