Show Notes
“Before the parades roll and the king cake is sliced, the real magic of Mardi Gras begins in the dark—with masks, music, and a message.”
On this episode of Above the Limit, host Justin Chopin sits down with Sunpie Barnes—musician, park ranger, former NFL player, and keeper of New Orleans’ deepest Carnival traditions.
Discover how the Skull & Bone Gang wakes the city at 5 a.m., why skeleton masks are more than just costumes, and how the rhythms of jazz carry the spirit of over 200 years of history.
This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a backstage pass to the soul of Mardi Gras.
