In this special episode of The St. Louis Podcast, Eric Brown welcomes West County Insulation CEO and owner Evan Archambault to expose one of the most overlooked money pits in your home—your attic. It turns out 90% of St. Louis homes are under insulated, and that could be silently draining your wallet every single month.

But this isn’t your typical home improvement chat…
Eric and Evan dive into the economics of comfort, revealing how just a few inches of insulation could save you thousands in energy bills and prevent your HVAC system from an early death. Plus, they get into the real story behind West County Insulation’s founding, what makes their team different, and why they're fighting back against scammy contractors and rising lead costs.

This one’s packed with practical tips, real savings, and a ton of St. Louis charm.

In this episode of The St. Louis Podcast, Eric Brown returns after a short break and hits the ground running with a high-stakes breakdown of the chaos unfolding across America—from redistricting wars to job market meltdowns and AI-driven disruption.

Eric kicks things off with the explosive story out of Texas, where redistricting battles have Democrats fleeing the state and Republicans pushing maps that could reshape the political landscape for decades. What even is gerrymandering? Eric dives into the history of how your vote gets sliced and diced—legally or otherwise—and why the courts can’t seem to stop it.
We also explore the silent job crisis hiding behind “low unemployment” numbers—and why 30% more people are showing up to job fairs across the Midwest.

Finally, Eric offers a hard truth: AI isn’t just coming for your job—it may already be in your seat. He shares which tools he's using, how they're reshaping work, and what you need to learn now to stay ahead.

On this week’s episode of The St. Louis Podcast, Eric returns solo for a no-holds-barred breakdown of the intersection between politics, money, and consumer culture. Kicking off with the latest headlines, Eric unpacks the growing debate around government spending and how taxpayer money continues to be stretched, shifted, and sometimes squandered. From bloated budgets to questionable financial priorities, it’s a raw look at where the dollars are going - and why it matters more than ever.

Next up, Eric turns his focus to Amazon’s newest (and eyebrow-raising) idea: showing customers exactly how much a product’s price has increased over time. Is it a move toward honest transparency - or just a way to condition shoppers to accept inflation? He explores how this strategy could reshape buyer behavior and what it says about the broader state of e-commerce and consumer trust.

Rounding out the episode, Eric talks big tech and bigger price tags - specifically Apple’s never-ending price hike on iPhones. As device upgrades continue to get more expensive with fewer groundbreaking changes, he dives into why consumers keep lining up anyway, and what that says about our digital priorities.

If you care about where your money goes - from your taxes to your tech - this episode asks the uncomfortable questions and doesn’t hold back on the answers.

This week on The St. Louis Podcast, Eric goes solo to break down the latest government dealings, financial mysteries, and a bit of internet-fueled chaos. He dives into OpenSecrets - the platform exposing political donations, lobbying efforts, and where the money really flows in Washington. Who’s funding what, and why does it matter? Eric unpacks it all.

The conversation shifts to USAID, the government agency responsible for international development and humanitarian aid. Is it truly helping, or just another black hole of taxpayer dollars? With global conflicts and shifting alliances, Eric takes a critical look at how America funds foreign efforts.

And because no episode is complete without a little internet culture, Eric throws some DOGE into the mix - discussing the ever-entertaining world of cryptocurrency and its latest chaotic headlines.

Tune in for a mix of government deep dives, financial curiosity, and digital randomness - all delivered in classic St. Louis Podcast fashion.
