Tell Me You’re Joking

Tell Me You’re Joking

Tell Me You’re Joking leans into the taboo, popular, annoying, and entertaining subjects that rile us all up. This podcast will make those that say ”politics and religion are private” want to open up and engage. Based out of Flyover Country, St. Louis Missouri, host JB Anderson brings on guests that have a say, give a damn, and are not afraid to shoot it straight.

Anthony and I were joined by Will Eskay this week on B-Side STL. Will hails from the mid-Atlantic coast world and happened across a St. Joe alum, that landed him in the 314.

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 fo...

About once every two months or so Kyle Juvers and I grab coffee at some STL classic that is NOT franchised and discuss all things political, popular, stupid, and more.

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 Accl...

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 ...

Judy lost her mom on December 15th, 2024. She had to navigate the chaos that is Alzheimer's from home, with limited help from Hospice, and a load of figuring out on her own. Her second time through with this disease, after losing her father to the monster as well, this time she had to tackle it head on. A story that is equal parts disheartening, refreshing, inspiring, and maddening.
