2.16.26 - Ryan Krull - St. Louis Magazine by
Ryan Krull of St. Louis Magazine joins Chris and Amy to break down a proposed “Innovation Zone” plan that could bring tax incentives and faster approvals to help convert empty downtown office buildings into housing. The conversation covers the political dynamics behind the proposal, potential income-tax breaks to attract new residents, and how it fits with other efforts to revive downtown through events and entertainment.
The show starts with Mardi Gras in St. Louis, and why the region continues to punch above its weight as a sports town. WashU professor Peter Kastor joins to discuss George Washington's legacy, how the presidency has evolved, and what defines impactful leadership in the first year of a presidency. Matt Pauley checks in from Cardinals spring training in Jupiter with updates on early workouts, clubhouse culture, roster questions, and Lars Nootbaar's rehab timeline, plus a look at the red-hot Saint Louis Billikens. White House correspondent Andrew Egger breaks down U.S.–Europe tensions following the Munich Security Conference, divisions inside the Republican Party on foreign policy, and the debate over the SAVE Act and national voter ID proposals. The show also explores St. Louis sports nostalgia and whether younger fans still recognize local legends, and wraps with St. Louis Magazine's Ryan Krull discussing a proposed downtown “Innovation Zone,” incentives to convert office buildings into housing, plans to attract major events downtown, and concerns over possible changes to the I-64/Compton interchange.
In this episode of the podcast, Meghan Heeter discusses her transition from full-time interior designer to design principal at Ättlingar, the company she founded with former client Siri Eklund.

The American dream is often presented as the product of someone "pulling up their bootstraps" to a better life. But that's just one way of explaining an idea that economists call "economic mobility.” A new project by St. Louis Magazine, the Economic Mobility Lab, is diving into that idea and the research into what it takes for low-income kids to out-earn their parents. To understand economic mobility in St. Louis, we sit down with St. Louis Magazine senior editor Nick Phillips to talk about his latest story, "How one St. Louisan found something rare: upward economic mobility." We also meet Nehemiah Colyer, whose experience after changing schools to Parkway West High School is an example of what economists call "social capital" and “economic connectedness.”

Susan Barrett, of Barrett Barrera Projects in St. Louis, is Veronica’s podcast guest this month. Many of you may know of Susan through her work in the art world, where she develops exhibitions for tour, produces artists’ collaborations, and provides management and consultation of private art collections. In today’s episode, Susan shares the exciting details of a new, years-long project that helped transform two sprawling Victorian houses into a combined historic house museum in Joplin, Missouri. The restoration and interior design of both the Schifferdecker and Zelleken residences called for a complete immersion into the fascinating lives of two immigrant families who rose to prominence in the heartland in the late 19th century. From the furniture to the wallpapers, the clothes to the kitchen utensils; through books, toys, art, and so much more, Susan’s vision brings the families’ worlds to life. Historic house enthusiasts will appreciate Susan’s dogged pursuit of authentic home decor and furnishings totaling 10,000 items, including a stunning sofa purchased at auction from the estate of the late Vogue fashion editor André Leon Talley.

City SC beat writer Tom Timmermann and guest Justin Horneker of St. Louis Magazine talk about an amazing game for St. Louis City SC, in which the team took 41 shots against shorthanded Dallas and came away with only one goal and a 1-1 tie, a frustrating result that, in a season of frustrating results, may have been the most frustrating one yet.

A love of cookbooks inspired Sara Johnson and Stephanie McKinney to found Anchovy Book Co., a bite-sized, brick-and-mortar store on Cherokee Street that's just six feet wide.

We explore the store's origin and the cookbooks that remain beloved by its founders. We also look at cookbook recommendations and local authors with St. Louis Magazine food writer Cheryl Baehr.

Dr. Sam Page indicted / Mayor Spencer says St. Louis needs a “Wow” moment
Before a city lawsuit accused her of running a massive illegal rooming house operation, the residents of Virginia Avenue in St. Louis' Tower Grove East neighborhood knew all about Dara Daugherty. Brittany Marquardt says she watched how Daugherty operated as a slumlord while allegedly renting rooms in condemned houses to vulnerable tenants. Marquardt takes us inside the situation and shares how complaints from her and other neighbors ultimately led to a courtroom confrontation with Daugherty. St. Louis Magazine reporter Ryan Krull discusses the latest on the legal case and the impact of Daugherty's surprise filing of bankruptcy earlier this month.

In this episode of House of Lou, Veronica explores the topic of home renovations, a subject that has become even more relevant as St. Louisans grapple with repairs to their homes in the aftermath of the tornado on May 16. Guests Kristin Moomey, an architect with HKW Architects, and Maria Hogrefe, principal and co-founder of C&M Interiors, take us inside their personal renovation stories, offering their experiences as guidance on how to start a project, plan a budget, and manage the stress and overwhelm inherent to all renovations. Their stories, in tandem with their professional expertise, give listeners the confidence they need to tackle repairs, both big and small. What important lessons can we learn from them? In hindsight, what might Moomey and Hogrefe have done differently, and how can we all benefit from the vision behind a historic house restoration in Benton Park (Moomey) and a fixer-upper family home project in South County (Hogrefe).

The biggest restaurant news each month usually centers on openings and closings. But the May 16 tornado that tore through St. Louis shifted the focus. We look at how restaurants in the Delmar Maker District were affected, then turn to the latest openings and closures in the St. Louis dining scene. Our guests are STLPR digital editor Jessica Rogen and St. Louis Magazine food writer Cheryl Baehr.
For this Rapid Response Friday, we answer patron questions on everything from how to examine a warrant to why Donald Trump will never be sending anyone to Alcatraz. We also consider just how bad the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the administration's ban on trans military service members actually is, how the single biggest financial corruption scandal in Presidential history is happening right now right in front of us, and why the forced departure of the acting DC U.S. Attorney is some of the best news this country has had since January 20, 2025. Also: a surreal Black Mirror-style footnote about the first time a U.S. courtroom has ever heard a victim's statement in a video made years after his death.
