I thought Cajun was French and Creole was Spanish?

That’s not a horrible summary but Creole is much more mixed plus Haitian, African and other.

It would be interesting to hear. I wonder how much it differs from Cajun French?

In Louisiana, Creole included white people of French descent, white people of Spanish descent, mixed race people of French or Spanish descent and free people of color who identified culturally with the French or Spanish. The Cajuns are a whole different thing. Apples and oranges.
