About this listen

B-Sides STL is the podcast that digs into the overlooked, unpolished, and unexpected sides of city life — the B-tracks that tell you more than the glossy singles ever could.

Hosted by JB Anderson (Gaslight Studios) and Anthony Bartlett (Acclimate), it’s where civic hospitality meets the creative economy, and where candor, humor, and curiosity take center stage.

What It Is

  • A civic storytelling show that treats St. Louis like a mixtape: not the headlines, but the margins.

  • Part cultural anthropology, part neighborhood diary, part kitchen-table debate.

  • A lens on how cities really work — through food, music, migration, culture, and contradictions.

What It’s Not

  • Not boosterism.

  • Not a Chamber of Commerce pitch.

  • Not just another “what’s happening in town” calendar.

Why It Matters

  • For locals: It validates what they’ve always known — that the real city lives between the headlines.

  • For newcomers: It decodes the quirks, contradictions, and hidden gems of St. Louis.

  • For civic leaders: It reveals the stories that actually shape retention, belonging, and reputation.

    Laura Sawyier (from her site):

    Laura K. Sawyier works with Fortune 500 companies, SMBs, non-profits, and individuals, using evidence-based research within the Applied Psychology of Fashion.

    She consults with individuals on their chosen style of dress (closet edits, shopping, special events, travel styling, and look books, among other fashion and styling-related concierge services), consults with for-profit and non-profit organizations and institutions on confidence, presence, branding, and leads seminars, workshops and keynotes on the science behind what we wear every day and how it impacts performance, moods, behaviors, and relationships.

    AND... SHE LOVES ST. LOUIS!

    Great conversation with this New York native who has found not only a home in STL, but a loyalty as well.
