Mitch Meyers | From "Spuds" to "Buds"

Tell Me You’re Joking ·

2025/07/23

Mitch Meyers is a powerhouse. This long-time ad heavyweight cut her teeth at a time when most of the men in the industry discounted women... period. She didn't care. As one of the brains behind arguably the greatest beer ad campaign ever, she has outkicked all the coverage. Bud Light was expected to be a flop... but little did the WORLD know, or realize, that Spuds MacKenzie (a girl, by the way) would change the face of beer forever. Now she's been battling in a new sandlot... Weed. Cannabis is an

Alex Fabry is a moderate with simple, yet big ideas. The Chicago, via Boulder, via Palo Alto, via Austin, via back to Chicago, and now St. Louisan... eats rope provel like it's a bag of chips. But more importantly this Kellog grad has ideas and visions for the region that run counter to some of the louder more prevalant strategies and focuses. For example... population loss, in his view, isn't necessary a bad thing, and shifting focus from attracting to retaining is lower hanging fruit that would

Is STL a "B-Side" City?

Tell Me You’re Joking ·

2025/06/11

Anyone who is a true music fan knows that the "B-sides" are always cooler, more relevant, and more true to who/what an artist/band is. CITIES ARE NO DIFFERENT!!! Nobody who lives in "X" city frequents "X" city's tourist attractions on a regular basis. They prefer to keep their favorite eateries off Yelp and IG. Locals want their pubs to feel more like a Wes Anderson movie than a James Cameron showpiece!Anthony Bartlett (from Acclimate City) joined "half empty" Dave Messner and I for a long chat

Tell Me You’re Joking ·

2025/04/09

Marc Chechik was there in the early days. In fact, played a part in the creation of the now-famous red dot. Seems simplistic, but it was/is iconic. We talk about the origins of this famous independent radio station, early genre influences, the role it played in the community, with touring acts, and the walk down the plank over the past 3 years. Not an official representation of the story, but discussed by two individuals who cared about the station, its people, and the value it provided to our music
