About this listen

Some aspects of Saint Louis University have become legend and lore. Others have stayed hidden, until now. Welcome to 1818: A Saint Louis University Alumni Podcast, where more than 200 years of SLU history come to life through unforgettable memories, surprising moments, and voices that shaped the institution we know today.


Over eight episodes this season, co-hosts Meg Connolly (A&S '90, Grad' 92) and Tony Minor (A&S' 03) will guide listeners through SLU's past — uncovering stories that deserve to be told.


With guests including NASA's Gene Kranz, the St. Louis Jesuits' Fr. Roc O'Connor
and Billikens from across the decades, we'll explore:

  • The facts behind the infamous St. Louis exorcism that inspired a Hollywood film
  • Our rich Jesuit heritage
  • The untold ways SLU has influenced the St. Louis community
  • How SLU's iconic Billiken mascot got its start

And much more


Whether you're a proud alum, a current Billiken, an interested St. Louisan, or simply love a great story, subscribe now to 1818: A Saint Louis University Alumni Podcast and discover the background that made SLU what it is today.
