Episode notes

Tony Messenger, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch joins Ron at The Local House Bistro in this installment of the Conversations series.

They cover a wide range of topics from public money for stadiums to why Tony can't watch the Denver Broncos in public. Tony shares how growing up with a father as a coach prepared him to be a columnist and if he believes the Cardinals or Blues will someday move from downtown St. Louis to St. Louis County.

Learn about how debtor's prisons still operate in Missouri -- in 2025 as well as what to do on the day you win a Pulitzer Prize (hint - champagne is involved). Come along for the ride -- but don't miss your exit.

The St. Louis Sportists Conversations are brought to you by The Local House Bistro and 1st Coast Steel Buildings.
