Podcasts about St. Louis, Missouri

Most of what plays here is an argument about a roster: a Cardinals bullpen letting a 7-1 lead become a 7-5 game, a front office insisting it is not rebuilding, what St. Louis CITY SC does after selling Klaus to the LA Galaxy, Blues playoff odds sinking below one percent. The St. Louis shows are filed under Sports by a wide margin, split between the Cardinals, CITY SC and the Blues. Around that core is a smaller ring: a public-radio interview program, a panel of journalists paid to disagree, conservative talk radio, an investigation into the deaths of Ferguson activists, two church-history series, and a real estate show from the Illinois side of the river.

What St. Louis is

St. Louis sits in eastern Missouri on the west bank of the Mississippi, just below where the Missouri River joins it; the Metro East suburbs lie across the water in Illinois. It is known for the Gateway Arch, the Cardinals, and its history as the river-trade gateway to the West.

Cardinals talk, from the ninth inning to the back fields

The Cardinals shows differ mostly in how far from the big-league lineup they wander. Locked On Cardinals - Daily Podcast On The St. Louis Cardinals stays on the game just played: George Soriano's ninth-inning trouble and the host's case that relievers have to work out of their own jams because the manager cannot keep calling on the same arms, and Nolan Gorman going from lost at the plate to a three-run homer. Meet Me At Musial: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast lives further down the system: its clips from "Reis-ing The Stakes" weigh whether Hunter Dobbins can become a two- or three-spot starter, why Markevian Hins's fastball has fallen to 93 mph after mechanical changes, and how Michael McGreevy carved up a lineup below 90 mph with twelve different pitches. Dealin' the Cards: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast is the reactive one, declaring an emergency podcast when the Cardinals signed Dustin May for the 2026 rotation and letting Jeff Jones call the offseason a rebuild against the team's official line. Best Podcast in Baseball, from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold, has the least parochial clips of the group, a conversation in Tampa Bay about recovery from two hurricanes beside a homestand preview built around Yadier Molina's cameo as a coach; its titles keep circling the deadline, as in "Forget the standings. Can future-focused Cardinals let offers shove them off the fence at trade deadline?"

CITY SC, four rooms

Soccer coverage is nearly as large as baseball's, and the CITY SC shows sound unlike each other. Flyover Footy: A St. Louis CITY SC and Soccer in STL Podcast is measured and patient, long qualified sentences in a stat-literate vocabulary, and its clips are the business of the club: Klaus sold to the LA Galaxy for $2.375 million, the biggest outgoing cash transfer in club history; MLS approving a July-to-April calendar from 2027; a preseason in which St. Louis sent out twelve players, brought in five and is learning a new system. Red Smoke Rising: A St. Louis CITY SC Podcast is a small room of supporters who interrupt themselves and let a point develop through back-and-forth; its clips from "LIVE from Pat Connolly Tavern! | Red Smoke Rising, February 10th, 2026" take apart the Tina Turner-inspired away kit by way of Nashville's Johnny Cash kit and worry about open questions at striker, and another has Marcel Hartel volleying past Matt Turner. Inside CITY Limits works the treatment room, whether Nilsson, back for part of a training session, is still weeks away, and how the back line copes with Kyle Hiebert out sick. Soccer 101 STL: A St. Louis City SC Podcast, from 101 ESPN, plays from a bleaker stretch: a Leagues Cup boycott the hosts back, a coach fired after a 4-1 loss, a 4-1 loss to Vancouver.

The Blues, from the booth and from the couch

Kerbside is Chris Kerber, the Blues' radio play-by-play voice, in a next-day reaction show that runs the highlights call by call: a 4-3 win over Ottawa, the Blues finally winning after trailing through two periods, then a 1-0 shutout survived through a five-minute major, with Joel Hofer explaining why it felt like revenge. Its titles are a game log: "KERBSIDE - REACTION - Game 81 vs. PIT - Breakdown, Highlights, Reaction, a 7-5 WIN". Lets Go Blues Radio - St. Louis Blues Hockey Podcast is the couch, loose and full of side comments, drifting through Aerosmith and 311 before reaching Colton Parayko's contract and trade talk that became a life decision; its title run tells the season by itself, from "Se15, Ep27: Blues Playoff Odds Drop Below 1 Percent" to "Se15, Ep28: Playoff-less Blues Almost Ready for Golf Season". Hockey Sense, with Andy Strickland, looks outward, to the Panthers, Edmonton, and Doug Armstrong on why naming Alexander Steen's succession publicly clears out organizational noise.

High school Fridays

Gateway Sports Venue Show is the one show about the schools: two plugged-in local voices working a long board of games, stat-heavy and casual at once. CBC's Cordae Gates scores 163 points as receiver, defensive back, kicker, punter and punt returner without missing an extra point; Nick McClellan throws for 2,622 yards and runs for 1,248; a MSHSAA commentator is removed at halftime for pro-St. Louis remarks. Its titles range across East St. Louis, Lift For Life, De Smet, Lutheran North and both the Missouri and Illinois brackets.

Politics, the Arch and a burning Jeep

St. Louis on the Air, from St. Louis Public Radio, is the broadest program here. Its clips run from an exhibit at the old courthouse on how the 630-foot Gateway Arch became the city's symbol, to WashU artists using music to sound a climate alarm, to former State Senator Bill Eigel defending a recurring-donation strategy after a second-place GOP primary finish; its titles reach to "Is St. Charles County becoming more hospitable for Missouri Democrats?" and "The significance of protest music in St. Louis and American history". Donnybrook is a panel of St. Louis journalists who split on purpose: whether a 572-572 tie in St. Charles justifies a $30,000 redo or a draw from a hat, whether boycotting police-board members' businesses is civic pressure or something pettier, whether St. Charles backs ICE on its own account or follows Donald Trump. NewsTalk STL is conservative talk radio built from quick interjections, and its playable moments are national: Rep. Bob Onder on FISA warrants and data-broker purchases, Onder on the Strait of Hormuz, a USA Today article generated entirely by AI. After the Uprising is the heaviest listening on the page, an investigation into deaths among Ferguson activists: Darren Seals describing Ferguson police pointing guns at him and his 14-year-old brother, the 1:18 a.m. 911 call that led firefighters to his body in a burning Jeep, an FBI file of about 900 pages with roughly 860 redacted.

Two centuries, read aloud

Msgr. Michael Witt's two Covenant Network series, St. Louis: From Canoe to Cathedral, V.1 and St. Louis: Lion and the Fourth City, V.2, are narrated regional and church history. The first plays the Battle of Saint Louis, with Jean-Marie Cardinal, an early trader with a Pawnee wife and eight children, among the dead. The second moves into the nineteenth century: 25,000 people crossing Eads Bridge on May 24, 1874 before its official opening, and Charleston H. Tandy hiring a steamboat in 1879 for hundreds of Black migrants stranded in the city.

Metro East property

Ready, Set, SOLD! with Bryan Vogt is the one business show, a leisurely interview-led real estate conversation from the Metro East: a guest arguing that income, not the house, is a worker's number one asset; rent measured against a mortgage; a $3,000 tax refund turned into a $100,000 house with $1,000 out of pocket.
