While many St. Louisans are celebrating signs of the start of summer, heat-related illnesses can put a damper on summertime fun — and can lead to serious harm. In this encore episode, clinical assistant professor and community pharmacist Catherine Gilmore joins St. Louis on the Air to discuss the science behind what happens to the body when it fails to regulate heat and how certain types of medication can increase the risk of heat intolerance.

Since 2022, Transform 314's founder Kelly McGowan has worked to inform Black St. Louisans about the inner workings of local government. As communities continue to rebuild since last year's May 16 tornado, she has focused on helping citizens understand the policies and identify the accountable officials. On May 13, McGowan will be premiering her first film, “Transforming Our Legacy: A St. Louis Story.” The documentary highlights personal stories of Black St. Louisans from the 1930s to the present day. It explores the ways that generations of policies, including segregation and disinvestment, have shaped the city's predominately Black neighborhoods.

Join guest host, Aubrey Zobrist as she chats with a panel of IMSTL representatives, including IMSTL Co-founder and Program Directo, Susan Gobo, about the IMSTL mission of connecting international women and their families with St. Louisans, empowering them to thrive in the region.The St. Louis International Mentoring Program started in late 2017 as a pilot with just ten women - five international mentees and five local mentors. By June 2018, co-founders Susan Gobbo and Annie Schlafly, backed by the St. Louis Mosaic Project, officially launched the program. Originally a complement to the Mosaic Project's Women's Connector Program and the St. Louis International Spouses/Expat Women Group, it quickly grew into a dynamic network, linking international and local families. In 2022, we became our own 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and embarked on a rebranding journey in 2024 to reflect our mission with a fresh name, logo, and slogan. In December 2025, we celebrated a new milestone when the World Trade Center St. Louis formally approved bringing International Mentoring St Louis under its international umbrella as a complement to its Mosaic Project initiative. Learn more about IMSTL at their website. https://www.imstl.org/Susan Dealis Gobbo's journey from Brazil to the U.S.A. marked a transformative entry into a new chapter of her life. She navigated and overcame multiple challenges, learned from her setbacks, rediscovered her identity, and rebuilt herself. Transitioning from a successful healthcare professional to an impactful social entrepreneur in a new land, Susan found her calling! Through more 10+ years of her civic work, she's supported many international women to feel heard, recover their identities, find their path, build meaningful relationships, and integrate into their new community while championing diversity, equity, and inclusiveness. Her numerous accolades for her achievements fuel her ongoing commitment to advocating for the international community. By sharing her story with vulnerability, Susan intends to resonate with and uplift other international women who may feel “alone” in a new country. Sarah Stauffer, originally from Philadelphia, moved to St. Louis in 2019 and is a two-time mentor with IMSTL, serving in both 2023 and 2024.

Twenty years ago Terrell “Dip” Evans and Tatum Polk founded 314 Day to recognize March 14 as a day to celebrate all things St. Louis. The civic pride holiday has origins in Black St. Louisan culture, and in the decades passed the celebrations have spread and is now part of the greater St. Louis identity. On this special 314 Day episode of “St. Louis on the Air,” three St. Louisans share their thoughts on the state of St. Louis and its culture. Plus, we join a new St. Louisan on their first 314 Day experience.

We listen back to our 2023 conversation about “Black St. Louis,” a book that explores the life of Black people, from the founding of the city to the start of the 21st century. Through colorful imagery and detailed documentation, co-authors Calvin Riley and NiNi Harris tell the stories of enslaved people, night-club owners, soldiers and everyday Black St. Louisans.

St. Louisans deeply mourn restaurants lost across the region. Maybe it's because we have an exceptional restaurant scene supported by a relatively low cost of living and ready access to locally farmed produce. Maybe we're just a sentimental bunch. Whatever the reason, we reflect on the restaurants we lost this year and trends within the St. Louis food scene. We also share what we're looking forward to in 2026.

Generations of bleary-eyed St. Louisans have flitted into late night diners like moths to lamplight, drawn in by one of our most treasured regional dishes: the slinger — an artful pile of eggs, hash browns, onions, cheese, meat and chile (or gravy). So the city mourned at the beginning of November when one of the last best places to get a slinger — the Buttery on South Grand Boulevard — closed. STLPR's Jessica Rogen and Abby Llorico talk about the latest restaurant openings and closings in the St. Louis area.

Thirty five years after its signing, the Americans with Disabilities Act has led to changes in schools, work, and public spaces. The stories of St. Louisans with disabilities reveal what that landmark legislation — and disability rights activists' work in St. Louis long before ADA — changed. They also illustrate what remains to be done. Guests Lori Becker, Raven McFadden, and Seyoon Choi talk about their classroom, workplace, and social experiences as children and adults living with a disability in St. Louis.

Missourians will finally get their chance to place wagers on sporting events on Monday, Dec. 1. That's because the Show-Me State's voters narrowly legalized sports betting last year, meaning that St. Louisans will no longer have to physically travel to Illinois to place a wager. STLPR's Sarah Kellogg talks about what sports betting enthusiasts should expect.

In this episode I spoke with author Christopher Allen Gordon about his latest book "Letters Home from WWII St. Louis".  Letters Home from World War II: St. Louis captures the experiences of St. Louisans who served in World War II, sharing their struggles, fears, and hopes through letters sent home. Scattered across battlefields, remote bases, and ships at sea, these men and women endured the hardships of war, finding solace in the letters they received from loved ones.The Ernie Pyle WWII Museum is located in Dana, Indiana.Doug Hess is the Producer and Host of the podcast.

(00:00-15:46) Brad Thompson joins the show to talk all things Cardinal baseball following the series loss to Tampa.

Brad also answers the tough question of “what have the Cardinals figured out this season” regarding some of the younger talent on the team. Finally, Brad shares his take on JJ Wetherholt and if we will see him at all in 2025.(15:55-27:15) St. Louisans love to see musicians wearing STL gear. The Great Malaise. Mt. Rushmore of Corey Feldman roles. Audio of him talking to Billy Corgan about originally being cast to play Leo's role in Titanic. Movie boy isn't buying it. Was he also banished from What's Eating Gilbert Grape?(27:25-39:10) Hubbard Marty pops in studio talking about playing golf with Alice Cooper over the weekend.

Director of Hotel Operations Matthew White shares how this recognition elevates the Chase's national profile and attracts travelers seeking unique historic experiences. The hotel, known affectionately as “The Chase” locally, boasts a storied past hosting legends like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and The Rolling Stones, plus dignitaries and presidents. More than just a hotel, it's a vibrant hub with restaurants, condos, and a movie theater—truly a city within a city. The segment wraps by teasing upcoming local promotions aimed at reconnecting St. Louisans with this iconic venue's history and memories.

Why doesn't St. Louis have its own hot dog, like the iconic Chicago dog? That question was on restauranter Steve Ewing's mind when he created a March-madness style bracket and asked St. Louisans to choose the hot dog that best represented their city. Then, in 2022, the Board of Aldermen declared the competition's winner the Official Hot Dog of St. Louis. In this encore presentation, Ewing shares how to make a St. Louis hot dog and the inspiration behind its ingredients.

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?

Sheree Hickman, director of the Missouri State ID Access Coalition; and Andre Cole, executive director of the nonprofit Urban City Services share how coalition member organizations are helping people get birth certificates and state identification documents in the aftermath of the tornado.

A powerful EF-3 tornado with winds of up to 150 miles per hour tore through St. Louis -- killing at least five people and damaging up to 4500 buildings. As St. Louisans pick up the pieces, there are still many unresolved issues.

Two very smart women saw a pattern developing in their midwestern city of St. Louis, my hometown actually, after one attended a meet-up group organized by  Susan Gobbo one of these smart women, who is Brazilian, and who experienced the loneliness of a trailing spouse, herself when she moved to St. Louis in 2008. Years later, she formed a meetup group for other foreign wives. Annie Schlafly, the other very smart woman, who is active in various community groups, heard about the meetup group through the St. Louis Mosaic Project, a regional initiative within the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership and the World Trade Center St. Louis, formed to attract more immigrants to St. Louis, invigorating the region with rich culture and intellectual stimulus.. Annie  convinced Susan that the international spouses would benefit from meeting more St. Louisans, and the two founded the International Mentoring Program also known as IMP in 2017. Over the last seven years, the program has paired over 600 international newcomers with local mentors. They meet one-on-one, in small groups and for larger events such as sports games and other local fare. Beyond fostering human connections, the program aims to solve a real business problem: According to a Harvard Business Review study, a large percentage of expatriate business postings fail. Many executives ask to return home earlier than planned; others underperform on the job or leave the company. Mentors are a gift and they can be very rare; they're rare, because they're intentional - I use the word, intentional, because that is what it takes to be a great mentor and a great mentee - yes, it's a two-way street, a commitment that can take on a  journey of its  own - meaning there is a structure that has some flexibility and creativity that works for both parties. Mentors can be a surprise or can be set up through a network of connections - what makes it sometimes difficult is for a mentee to find or ask someone to serve as their mentor unless their is a designed program. Now, let's complicate the situation a tad bit, what if you were moving to a foreign country and knew no one, but your spouse or partner who just received an incredible opportunity to earn a living and contribute to the host's country's intellectual  community - so your partner automatically has a network - built-in through their new work life, but what about YOU. You might think…well, I will just support my partner, but what if a year's opportunity turns into much longer and you have remained an expatriot without a network of support… how might you feel and what is the risk to your marriage or partnership or even your family if there are children involved? Personal contentment can count for a great deal in determining longevity in a new environment.  

It's been more than two years since Missouri voters approved the legalization of cannabis for adult recreational use. We explore the two sides of the growing industry — first by checking with several cannabis chefs competing for the approval of hundreds of weed-loving St. Louisans. Then, Missouri Independent cannabis reporter Rebecca Rivas takes us through the latest twists in the state's embattled program for cannabis microbusiness licensees and a surprise recall of 6,000 products.

Cahokia Mounds in Collinsville hosts about 350,000 visitors each year. Much less well-known are the sites where 27 monuments once stood in St. Louis. The mounds, carefully constructed and engineered by Indigenous people between 800-1350 CE, were destroyed by white settlers to make way for urban development during the 19th century. In this encore episode, “Mound City” author and historian Patricia Cleary details the history of the mounds, the strange paradox of local settlers claiming the moniker of “Mound City” while destroying them, and the mounds' contribution to the cultural identity of St. Louisans and Americans across the country.

St. Louis University archivist and assistant professor Caitlan Stamm separates fact from fiction and addresses the myths that continue to swirl around SLU's involvement in the exorcism of “Robbie Mannheim” in 1949.

Cahokia Mounds in Collinsville hosts about 350,000 visitors each year. Much less well-known are the sites where 27 monuments once stood in St. Louis. The mounds, carefully constructed and engineered by Indigenous people between 800-1350 CE, were destroyed by white settlers to make way for urban development during the 19th century. In her new book “Mound City,” historian Patricia Cleary details the history of those mounds, the strange paradox of local settlers claiming the moniker of “Mound City” while destroying them, and their contribution to the cultural identity of St. Louisans and Americans across the country today.
