Host Mary Jacobs goes all the way back to high school with her friend Dawn.

When Dawn proposed she interview Mary for an episode of Planet NOLA, saying "yes" just felt right. Mary Jacobs is a born and raised New Orleanian with a background in performance of all types. When she’s not hosting this podcast, she is running her secondhand styling business and community-based gym. This episode is a deep dive into how the podcast came to be, but mostly it’s just a sweet conversation between two longtime buds. Their connection is endearing and dynamic!
