We are obsessed with where everyone went to high school. We love to mispronounce street names and we refuse to call that concert venue in Maryland Heights anything other than “Riverport.” St. Louisans sure have their quirks, and the way we dine is no exception. In this episode, George and Cheryl explore the particular eccentricities of St. Louis restaurant-goers; from our insistence on easy parking to a penchant for large portions, they unpack our non-negotiables and proclivities to figure what makes our food scene so unique—and share which ones they are guilty of themselves.

There's no single way to succeed in the restaurant industry. In June, St. Louisans said goodbye to several beloved eateries — including O'Fashion Donuts — even as they fell in love with fresh concepts like Chico Bueno in the Grove. This month, STLPR's Jessica Rogen and Abby Llorico talk about the latest openings and closings in the region's food and dining scenes, their favorite new dishes and how some restaurants have found their way back from closure.

As immigration enforcement from the Trump Administration has increased across the country, St. Louisans have found ways to help immigrant families who fear deportation. St. Louis Public Radio's Chad Davis reports on how grassroots groups and other organizations have been teaming up and recruiting volunteers.

On July 11, WerQfest returns to the Grove Business District to celebrate Black queer music and culture in St. Louis. The event's 2026 theme is “Express Yourself,” a spirit that has animated every WerQfest since its debut in 2020. The event was created to give St. Louisans who identify as Black and queer an opportunity to be their authentic selves, fostering community with music, resources, and showcasing the city's talented residents. WerQfest co-founder Tre G and performer Volume Speaks discuss how WerQfest has evolved since its premiere and why this year focuses on women and femme artists.

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. She currently assists with initial interviews for the program and setting up new connections.  Donna Eovaldi career in the insurance industry spans 38 years, including time with Midwest Employers Casualty as Senior VP of Underwriting. She currently serves as a mentor for IMSTL.  Magdalena Fiserova, originally from the Czech Republic, move to St. Louis in 2025. She has served in multiple roles with Nestle and is currently a mentee in the IMSTL program. Guest host Aubrey Zobrist is a Brand Manager with Bunzl Distribution NA and is a graduate of SLU's Executive Master of International Business

Protest and activism come in many forms, including music that draws attention to current issues that artists find most pressing, and important.

We also hear from hip-hop artist KVTheWriter about her latest diss tracks aimed at Mayor Cara Spencer, developer Paul McKee and Congressman Wesley Bell, and talk with WashU professor Lauren Eldridge Stewart about the history of protest music.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
