Diana artfully discusses how capturing a moment goes beyond just the click of a shutter; it’s about conveying emotions and narratives through visuals. With anecdotes about her experiences at various stunning locations, such as the Loess Bluffs during the migratory season for snow geese, she explains how the right lighting and timing can elevate a photograph from mundane to magical. You are treated to a peek behind the curtain of professional photography, complete with tips on how to see the world through a lens and the sometimes-serendipitous nature of finding the perfect shot.Our conversation humorously highlights Diana’s experiences researching and photographing lesser-known spots in Missouri, such as the quaint Castor River Shut-Ins. The episode wraps up with details on where to find Diana's book and upcoming book signings, hoping we leave you inspired to explore the natural wonders of Missouri!

We celebrate the genius of Sergei Prokofiev, particularly focusing on his lesser-known works. Brian’s upcoming album, 'Radical Miniatures,' serves as the backdrop for our lively discussion.Brian reveals how he’s taken these short pieces, which clock in at under three minutes each, and turned them into a collection that’s as engaging as it is innovative. Brian shares his excitement about the creative process behind the album, detailing how Prokofiev’s ability to convey complex emotions in such brief compositions resonates with today’s fast-paced world. He highlights how these pieces can capture audiences’ attention in a way that longer works sometimes struggle to do.We also discuss the significance of stage presence, with Brian emphasizing the importance of storytelling in music and how he aims to make classical performances feel less intimidating and more accessible to everyone. Listeners are treated to a rich tapestry of insights about both the music and the musician. Brian’s infectious enthusiasm shines through as he discusses his artistic journey, from his early days to his current role as a music director at the World Chess Hall of Fame. His passion for connecting with audiences is palpable, and it’s clear that he sees music as a living, breathing entity that thrives on interaction and engagement. This episode is a refreshing reminder of how classical music can be both profound and approachable, making it a delightful listen for music lovers and casual listeners alike.[00:00] Prokofiev Teaser[00:38] Coffee Order Chaos[01:33] Piano Quote[02:29] Meet Pianist Brian Woods[04:02] Dazzling Stage Presence[08:24] Why Prokofiev Miniatures[11:10] Short Pieces For Short Attention[12:57] Album Success And Creating[15:07] Prokofiev, The Rebel[16:27] Visions Fugitives Preview[20:42] Break And Sponsor Messages[22:51] Album Release Details[23:27] CDs Vinyl And Improvising[24:35] Recovering Onstage Mistakes[25:51] Recording Without Fear[27:20] Tales Of Grandmother[32:17] Sarcasms Explained[38:01] Politics Behind The Music[39:49] <a href="https://worldchesshof.org/exhibits-programs/wchof-music-series/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chess Hall Concert Series</a>[49:04] Tickets And FarewellTakeaways:<ul><li>Prokofiev's talent for short pieces showcases his genius in brevity and emotional impact.</li><li>The podcast dives deep into Brian Woods' journey, revealing how personal connections shaped his career trajectory.</li><li>Listeners learn about the importance of stage presence and how it enhances the overall concert experience for the audience.</li><li>Brian Woods' new album, featuring Prokofiev's radical miniatures, is set to challenge traditional classical music norms and attract younger audiences.</li><li>The conversation highlights the unique blend of classical music and storytelling that keeps audiences engaged and entertained.</li><li>Exploring how Prokofiev pushed musical boundaries reflects the ongoing evolution of classical music in contemporary society.</li></ul><br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.brianwoodspianist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Home Page - Brian Woods Pianist</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@brianwoodspianist" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube - Brian Woods</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/brianwoodspianist/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram - Brian Woods</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/brianwoodspianist/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Facebook - Brian Woods</a></li></ul><br />This is Season 9!

He kicks things off with a delightful connection to St. Louis sports legend Stan Musial, sharing how both he and Musial have a shared love for the harmonica. As the conversation unfolds, we explore the world of his love for musical instruments and their personal significance, especially the harmonica, which Sandy plays passionately.His journey began at the tender age of 14, initially driven by the desire to impress a girl (spoiler: he didn't get her), but this whimsical pursuit led him down a path of musical exploration that included the banjo, ukulele, and eventually the harmonica. He recounts hilarious anecdotes about learning the banjo incorrectly for two years, as well as his serendipitous meeting with the legendary harmonica player Howard Levy, which changed his life forever. We also touch on the concept of 'playing by ear' and how Sandy’s dedication to mastering the harmonica has led him to achieve international recognition in competitions.Sandy's sense of humor shines through as he shares the quirks of the harmonica world, like how he can coax out unexpected notes through various techniques. Listeners will be treated to an impromptu performance, showcasing Sandy’s talent and the versatility of the harmonica. The episode wraps up with reflections on the importance of community and creativity in music, reminding us that the journey is just as important as the destination. Sandy's infectious enthusiasm and love for music make this episode an absolute joy to listen to, whether you're a seasoned musician or just a curious listener.[00:00] Stan Musial Tease[00:28] Show Welcome [01:28] Thought to Ponder[02:41] Meet Sandy Weltman[03:36] Banjo Beginnings[04:57] Harmonica Journey[06:39] How Harmonica Works[10:51] Teaching Online[13:39] Albums Nuthouse Series[15:15] Books and Tablature[19:47] Sponsor Break[21:22] Live Harmonica Performance[26:50] Styles and Techniques[29:57] Harmonica Goes Classical[30:43] Cello Range Harmonica[32:04] Harmonica Ensembles[34:24] Stan Musial Session Tale[36:15] Banjo Beginnings[38:09] Making Music Work[38:56] Quitting Smoking[40:54] Car Practice Hustle[42:11] Sponsor And Foundation Break[44:38] Ukrainian Tune Performance[48:04] Roy Clark And Vince Gill[50:59] Harmonica Links And Holidays[53:15] Final Sign OffTakeaways:<ol><li>Sandy Weltman shares his fascinating journey from banjo to harmonica, showcasing his musical evolution.</li><li>The harmonica is a surprisingly versatile instrument capable of expressing a range of musical styles, including blues and klezmer.</li><li>Sandy's connection to baseball legend Stan Musial highlights the intersection of sports and music in St. Louis culture.</li><li>The podcast features humorous and insightful discussions that shed light on the harmonica's rich history and techniques.</li><li>Listeners discover the nuances of playing harmonica, including techniques like bending and overblowing for emotive sounds.</li><li>Sandy's experiences at harmonica competitions reveal his dedication and passion for music, inspiring aspiring musicians everywhere.</li></ol><br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.sandyweltmanmusic.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Harmonica/Ukulele Lesson Videos with Sandy Weltman | Harmonica/Ukulele Lesson Videos</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@SandyWeltman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube - Sandy Weltman Harmonica &amp; Ukulele Lessons</a></li><li><a href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/sandy-weltman/1011613239" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‎Sandy Weltman - Apple Music</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064261205614" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Facebook - Sandy Weltman Online Harmonica Lessons</a></li><li><a href="https://spah.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SPAH - Society for the Preservation and Advancement of the Harmonica</a></li><li><a href="https://spah.org/convention-events/2026-spah-convention/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2026 SPAH Convention - Society for the Preservation and Advancement of the Harmonica</a></li><li><a href="https://levyland.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Levyland | Howard Levy - Grammy-Winning Harmonica Virtuoso, Composer &amp; Educator | Discover Music, Events, and Lessons</a></li><li><a href="https://www.flecktones.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Béla Fleck &amp; The Flecktones</a></li><li><a href="https://www.tomlinharmonicalessons.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Free Harmonica Lessons - Tomlin Harmonica School</a></li></ul><br />This is Season 9!

Our conversation with John C. Guenther dives into the architectural marvel that is the Cathedral Basilica, weaving through its 352-year history—from its early log church days in 1770 to the stunning mosaics that now grace its walls.  We reminisce about the old cathedral, which was built in the early 19th century, and how it all ties into the rich narrative of St. Louis's founding.

With over 83,000 square feet covered in vivid colors and intricate designs, it’s a visual feast that tells the story of faith and community.

This isn't just architecture; it's a living, breathing story that continues to unfold with every visitor who steps inside.We reveal the significance of the Cathedral Basilica being a pilgrimage site and a testament to the faith of the people of St. Louis.

Sounds unreal, right? Well, that was the reality in post-war West Germany—a time when many folks were keen to sweep the past under the rug. Enter Fritz Bauer, a Jewish judge who had a front-row seat to the horrors of the Nazi regime and was determined to drag his fellow Germans into a confrontation with their past. In this lively chat with journalist Jack Fairweather, we dive deep into Bauer's relentless quest for justice and how he orchestrated monumental trials that forced Germany to reckon with its history. Fairweather, who’s no stranger to the dark alleys of history, sheds light on Bauer’s extraordinary life, his struggles as a gay man in a hostile environment, and his fight against the tide of denial that swept through a country still reeling from the devastation of the war. The episode is packed with rich historical context and Fairweather’s passion shines through as he recounts how Bauer not only sought justice for the victims but also envisioned a better, more progressive Germany. It’s a compelling narrative that will have you questioning how we confront our own dark histories today.[00:00] Introduction: The Forgotten Holocaust[00:43] Meet Fritz Bauer: The Relentless Prosecutor[00:52] Interview with Jack Fairweather[01:12] Welcome to St. Louis in Tune[02:30] Jack Fairweather's Background[03:17] The Battle for Holocaust Recognition[08:09] Fritz Bauer's Struggles and Achievements[18:53] The Importance of Bauer's Story Today[21:16] Bauer's Role in Capturing Eichmann[22:32] Bauer's Personal Challenges[23:42] Conclusion and Upcoming Events[26:35] Exploring Fritz Bauer's Motivation[27:15] The Power of Biography[28:26] Bauer's Vision for Germany[31:29] The Impact of the Frankfurt Trials[34:27] Bauer's Strategy and Challenges[39:02] The Auschwitz Trial[40:39] Jack Fairweather's Journey[42:16] Book Recommendations and Event Details[44:47] Reflecting on Bauer's Legacy[47:08] Conclusion and FarewellTakeaways:<ul><li> The podcast delves into the chilling reality of post-World War II Germany, where the Holocaust was largely ignored and former Nazis resumed their lives. </li><li> Fritz Bauer, a courageous gay Jewish judge, fought to bring the horrors of the Holocaust to light amidst a society eager to forget. </li><li> Jack Fairweather's book, 'The Prosecutor', reveals how Bauer spearheaded legal battles to confront Germany's dark past and seek justice. </li><li> The episode highlights how Bauer's efforts were crucial in changing the narrative around the Holocaust, particularly through landmark trials. </li><li> Listeners are encouraged to reflect on the importance of confronting uncomfortable truths about history to prevent future atrocities. </li><li> The conversation emphasizes that understanding our past is essential to shaping a more just and aware society today. </li></ul><br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.jackfairweather.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jack Fairweather</a></li><li><a href="https://jccstl.com/festival-events-schedule/#dec11" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">St. Louis Jewish Book Festival Events &amp; Schedule | St. Louis JCC</a></li><li><a href="https://www.showpass.com/jack-fairweather-the-prosecutor/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jack Fairweather - The Prosecutor - St. Louis County Library - Clark Family Branch - St. Louis - Dec 11, 2025 · Showpass</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-fairweather-294a5710/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LinkedIn - Jack Fairweather</a></li><li><a href="https://x.com/jackfairweather" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X - Jack Fairweather</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Fairweather_(writer)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jack Fairweather (writer) - Wikipedia</a></li></ul><br />This is Season 8!

This isn't just any old memoir; it's a journey through the intricate layers of navigating life as someone experiencing blindness.  Picture this: Andrew, a writer and audio producer, begins to lose his sight but instead of retreating into darkness, he dives headfirst into the vibrant world that opens up when you start to see beyond vision. We explore his personal milestones—like the moment he picked up a white cane and the whirlwind of social dynamics that followed.  Suddenly, he wasn't just Andrew; he was 'the blind guy', and that title brought with it a flurry of assumptions, expectations, and a hefty dose of pity.  But Andrew is not one to let societal labels define him. He shares how blindness is often a conversation starter for deeper philosophical questions about perception, ability, and what it means to 'see'. As our discussion unfolds, Andrew shares insights about the misconceptions surrounding blindness, the tech that empowers blind individuals today, and how acceptance can be a liberating force. Get ready for a thought-provoking episode that challenges the way we perceive disability, featuring Andrew’s witty commentary and sharp reflections on the human experience..[00:00] Introduction and Welcome[00:45] Meet Andrew Leland: Author and Advocate[01:37] Living with Retinitis Pigmentosa[05:33] Social Perceptions and Stigma[11:31] Technology and Accessibility[17:02] Defining Blindness and Acceptance[25:37] Andrew's Journey and Future Plans[27:47] Conclusion and FarewellTakeaways:<ul><li> Andrew Leland shares his journey with retinitis pigmentosa, exploring how it affects his vision and life. </li><li> The conversation dives into societal perceptions of blindness and the stigma surrounding disabilities, revealing personal stories. </li><li> Leland emphasizes the importance of assistive technologies, like braille and screen readers, for blind individuals. </li><li> The impact of using a white cane transforms Andrew's social experience, changing how people interact with him. </li><li> Leland discusses misconceptions about blindness, highlighting that blind people can still be tech-savvy and independent. </li><li> His memoir reveals the philosophical questions surrounding perception, disability, and identity, making it a thought-provoking read. </li></ul><br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.andrewleland.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andrew Leland</a></li><li><a href="https://www.showpass.com/ph-andrew-leland/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andrew Leland - The Country of the Blind - SFC Carl &amp; Helene Mirowitz Performing Arts Center - St. Louis - Nov 2, 2025 · Showpass</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Country_of_the_Blind:_A_Memoir_at_the_End_of_Sight" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight - Wikipedia</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/quailty/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram - Andrew Leland</a></li><li><a href="https://x.com/quailty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X - Andrew Leland</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-leland-a95860aa/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LinkedIn - Andrew Leland</a></li></ul><br />This is Season 8!

We kick things off by boasting about our beloved parks, the perfect spots for a picnic, a casual stroll, or a wild bike ride to nowhere. But wait, did you know there’s a park that was saved by the "Real Housewives of Jefferson County?" Yep, that’s right! We dive into the juicy details of how some fierce housewives rallied to save a piece of history. Plus, we uncover the surprising backstory of a park that once served as a hospital for Union soldiers during the Civil War and was also the site for the 1946 US Olympic water polo team tryouts.It’s a delightful blend of history and modern day shenanigans as we chat with the phenomenal NiNi Harris, the mastermind behind the book 'St. Louis Parks', who has a family member who planted trees in these very parks starting in 1864.  She also discusses the development of the city's parks, highlighting the visionary planning that started in 1907 to create a connected park system via Kingshighway Boulevard.

The album is a testament to his growth as an artist, mixing humor with serious undertones, and it’s clear he’s excited to unveil these new tracks to the world.  We chat about how his travels abroad fueled his songwriting, giving him fresh perspectives that are woven throughout the album. Nick also reminisces about his previous tours, the importance of community in music, and the fun (and sometimes chaotic) process of arranging shows in foreign lands. He shares stories of networking through fellow musicians, which led to some unforgettable performances in coffee shops and intimate venues.  The way he describes the respect and attentiveness of the audiences in Europe is refreshing and a stark contrast to the typical bar scene here at home.

Celebrating 50 years in the business, Joe Brinkmann, Joel Fuose, and Amy Gilbertson sat down with us to share their philosophy on creating buildings that stand the test of time. The conversation kicks off with what adaptive reuse actually means, with Joel explaining it as the art of taking a structure originally built for one purpose and reimagining it for another—think turning an old factory into chic lofts or a historic courthouse into a vibrant community hub.This episode isn’t just about the mechanics of architecture; it’s about the heart behind it. The trio discusses how their firm started with a focus on historic renovations during a time when many buildings were left to decay. Joe reminisces about the firm’s roots and how they have evolved into a leader in not only preserving St. Louis’s architectural heritage but also actively contributing to the city’s revitalization efforts. With projects like the Gateway Arch Museum and various historic buildings under their belt, the conversation moves into the challenges and triumphs of working on such significant structures, including the intricate dance of balancing modern needs with historical integrity.As we wrap up, the conversation shifts to the future of architecture, touching on sustainability and the growing need for environmentally-conscious design.

Celebrating 50 years in the business, Joe Brinkmann, Joel Fuose, and Amy Gilbertson sat down with us to share their philosophy on creating buildings that stand the test of time. The conversation kicks off with what adaptive reuse actually means, with Joel explaining it as the art of taking a structure originally built for one purpose and reimagining it for another—think turning an old factory into chic lofts or a historic courthouse into a vibrant community hub.This episode isn’t just about the mechanics of architecture; it’s about the heart behind it. The trio discusses how their firm started with a focus on historic renovations during a time when many buildings were left to decay. Joe reminisces about the firm’s roots and how they have evolved into a leader in not only preserving St. Louis’s architectural heritage but also actively contributing to the city’s revitalization efforts. With projects like the Gateway Arch Museum and various historic buildings under their belt, the conversation moves into the challenges and triumphs of working on such significant structures, including the intricate dance of balancing modern needs with historical integrity.As we wrap up, the conversation shifts to the future of architecture, touching on sustainability and the growing need for environmentally-conscious design.  Amy emphasizes the importance of listening to clients and the community, ensuring that each project reflects the values and needs of those it serves. The firm’s approach is a testament to the idea that architecture is not just about buildings; it’s about creating spaces that foster connection, creativity, and a sense of belonging.

In this episode, we have a delightful chat with Carrie Houk, the mastermind behind the festival.

Brandon Wilkes, the executive director of the St. Louis Reconciliation Network, joins us to shed light on this important event that symbolizes more than just physical movement. Scheduled for June 14, 2025, the race serves as the kickoff for the Juneteenth celebration, and its purpose is deeply rooted in fostering racial unity and community spirit. Brandon passionately articulates how this event is a beacon of hope in a city grappling with its past and striving for a brighter future. Throughout our conversation, Brandon shares insights into the race's inception and how it has grown over the years, attracting participants from various backgrounds. He elaborates on the race's route along Delmar Boulevard, a historically significant street known for its division as a "red line." By transforming this area into a symbol of unity, the race invites individuals to come together, run side by side, and challenge the status quo. We also touch on the importance of collaboration between churches, businesses, and community members, emphasizing that real change happens when all voices are heard and respected. As we wrap up, we encourage listeners to engage with this inspiring initiative, whether by running, walking, volunteering, or simply showing support.

In this lively conversation, we gather insights from immigration attorneys David J. Harris and Caitlin O'Connor as they help us sift through the chaos. Our conversation kicks off with a breakdown of immigration categories and the significance of employment-based residency. Harris brings his expertise to the table, explaining how various visa types function, and what it takes for people to transition from temporary work status to permanent residency. O'Connor, on the other hand, dives into the world of refugees and asylum seekers, highlighting the humanitarian aspects often overshadowed by policy debates. The two discuss the complexities of navigating the immigration system, particularly the challenges that arise when individuals seek to understand where they fit within the myriad of regulations including lengthy processes, quotas, and recent executive orders impacting their status. The episode also touches on due process rights, arbitrary detention, and deportation issues, and the need for Congressional action to create a humane and efficient immigration system as immigration laws have become a battleground for political agendas rather than a focus on human dignity and rights. Saint Louis In Tune desires to not only inform but also engage listeners to reflect on the values we hold as a society towards newcomers. This episode is a rich tapestry of legal insight and personal story, urging us all to consider the human element in the immigration debate.[00:00] Introduction and Overview[01:24] Sponsor Acknowledgment and Call to Action[03:04] Discussion on Employment-Based Residency[09:15] Humanitarian-Based Immigration: Refugees and Asylum Seekers[16:10] Challenges and Legal Complexities in Immigration[22:49] Break and Sponsor Message[24:39] Resuming the Immigration Discussion[25:58] Governing by Executive Orders[26:58] The Aliens Enemies Act[28:06] Challenges in Congress and Immigration[28:32] Legal Immigration and Systemic Issues[35:13] Due Process and Deportation Concerns[45:30] Personal Stories and Legal Struggles[52:15] Final Thoughts on Immigration[55:15] Conclusion and Call to ActionTakeaways:<ul><li> David J.

Stephanie Bliss, the museum's dynamic executive director, joins hosts Arnold Stricker and Mark Langston to wade into the saga of recovery and renovation that the museum has undergone. The discussion kicks off with a vivid recounting of the unfortunate Christmas Eve incident when water cascaded down three floors of the historic site, leading to a restoration project that was both extensive and essential. Stephanie shares the behind-the-scenes efforts, including the artisans who meticulously restored the building's historical features, ensuring it remains a tribute to its past while embracing the future. As the conversation flows, we learn about the rich history of the Field House, tied intricately to the life of Roswell Field (Dred and Harriet Scott's attorney) and his famous son, poet Eugene Field. Stephanie shares the fascinating backstory of the house, built in 1845, and how it became a significant landmark in St. Louis due to the family's contributions to history, especially in the context of the Dred Scott case. The dynamic between the hosts and the guest is playful and engaging, peppered with light-hearted banter that keeps the audience entertained while educating them about the importance of preserving local history. Listeners will also get a glimpse into the museum's current exhibits, including a look at Eugene Field's life and works, as well as the intriguing toy collection honoring the poet's childhood passions. Stephanie's enthusiasm for the Field House Museum and its rich legacy is infectious, making this episode a delightful blend of humor, history, and a call to action for local heritage appreciation.

We dive headfirst into the complex world of tariffs and their impact on our daily lives.  John Horn, an economics professor from Washington University, helps peel back the layers on what tariffs really are and how they work. John breaks down the nitty-gritty details, explaining how these tariffs can ripple through the economy, affecting everything from consumer prices to local job markets. We touch on the ups and downs of tariffs—like how they can protect budding industries but also risk igniting trade wars that leave everyone scrambling for cover. John makes it clear that while tariffs might seem like a good idea on paper, they can lead to unintended consequences that could leave American consumers holding the bag.   Switching gears, we tackle the broader implications of tariffs on a global scale, diving into the historical context and current events. John shares insights on how tariffs have shaped the industrial landscape of the U.S., and how they might impact our future.

Hosts Arnold Stricker and Mark Langston discuss the festival with John Wilson, the Director of Cultural Arts at the Jewish Community Center of St. Louis, and Wendy Sachs, director of the documentary 'October 8th.' The discussion moves into the significance of the film, which addresses the surge of anti-Semitism following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Dr. Susanna Ashton, a professor at Clemson University and the author of A Plausible Man, takes us on a journey that begins with Jackson’s harrowing escape from slavery in South Carolina and his unexpected encounter with Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'. With wit and insight, Dr. Ashton reveals how Jackson's narrative, filled with clever banter and sharp observations, not only inspired Stowe's famous novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, but also played an essential role in the abolitionist movement. The conversation flows exploring themes of resilience, identity, and the power of storytelling, all while shedding light on the often-overlooked characters who shaped the fight against slavery.

High drama wasn’t limited to the field, thanks to a hard-driving owner, Gussie Busch, and his “special consultant,” Branch Rickey.  Key facts, engaging anecdotes, and direct observations from players who lived the experience this rare volume will bring to life a truly thrilling season.An exhilarating ride for any baseball fan, ’64 Cardinals also heralds the return of the writing team of baseball historian Robert L.

Key theme to listen for is the significance of maps as not just navigational aids but as critical historical records that encapsulate the story of St. Louis over the centuries. The dialogue begins with a humorous yet serious exploration of how modern technology has changed the way we navigate our world, alongside a nostalgic reflection on traditional map-reading skills that may be fading away.Hahn passionately shares his lifelong fascination with maps, which originated in his childhood home filled with historical artifacts and large maps. His narrative intertwines personal anecdotes with the broader historical context of St. Louis, showcasing how each of the 40 maps in his book serves as a snapshot of the city at different points in time. Listeners are taken on a journey from the city's founding days through significant developments, including the evolution of neighborhoods and the impact of socio-political changes that shaped the city's landscape. Hahn's insights illuminate the connection between geography and the lived experiences of St. Louisans, highlighting the importance of understanding one's environment.The episode also addresses the darker aspects of mapping history, particularly the use of maps in systemic segregation practices like redlining, which have had long-lasting effects on the city's demographics and cultural fabric. This discussion prompts listeners to reflect on the implications of historical maps and how they can inform our understanding of contemporary issues. By the conclusion of the episode, the hosts and Hahn leave the audience with a deeper appreciation for maps as powerful tools that tell the story of a city, its people, and their collective journey through time.Links referenced in this episode:<ul><li><a href="https://stlintune.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stlintune.com</a></li><li><a href="https://dredscottlives.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dredscottlives.org</a></li></ul><br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.reedypress.com/shop/mapping-st-louis-preorder/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reedy Press-Mapping St. Louis</a></li></ul><br />This is Season 7!

Avakian brought three generations of jazz giants together in RCA’s New York studio to record the exciting music of Frank Teschemacher (a pioneering jazz clarinetist of the late 1920s) and the Austin High Gang. The album features a Who's Who of notable jazz instrumentalists, including pianist/arranger Dick Hyman, clarinetists Kenny Davern and <a href="https://www.danlevinson.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dan Levinson</a>, guitarist Marty Grosz, Grammy-winning bass saxophonist Vince Giordano and nearly a dozen more. <a href="http://www.bryanswright.com/wpdir/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bryan Wright</a>, the founder and executive producer of Rivermont, says about the album, “This extraordinary recording documents the once-in-a-lifetime meeting of so many jazz greats — all playing in top form and recorded in state-of-the-art sound under Avakian’s personal guidance.
