cool WIP episode 37: coolin with James McAnally
Episode 35
Friday, 7 August, 2026
It's Coyote Time. We are sitting down with one of St. Louis's most influential figures… a man-of-many-hyphens, James McAnally, the executive director of Counterpublic. We're talkin' triennials, Coyote Time, punk houses, building institutions, defects of character, St. Louis as the bullion cube of America, critics in crisis, the origins of Counterpublic, Sugar Loaf mound, public relations, bread and puppets, mechanisms of scaling, Circus of Life, vernacular academia [who is she?], burn-out, programming the Mississippi River, creative capital, The Luminary, places that bring you joy, and the opportunity to construct our future worlds together. This is a conversation we've been dying to have since the podcast started, and we're so thrilled to finally unpack the changes that have shaped the St. Louis arts ecosystem over the past 20 years with James. Counterpublic opens September 10, 2026. Find James on IG: @jamesxmcanally / Find Counterpublic on IG: @counterpublic Also: @kalaija.m @theluminary @marinamae_west @coolwip_official
