Welcome to Season 5: The Story of US! Throughout 250 years of United States history, the people and places of Missouri have played a vital role in shaping the nation’s story. At the crossroads of rivers, frontiers, and ideas, Missouri has been a stage for exploration, innovation, conflict, and change. From Indigenous peoples to French settlers and westward pioneers, Missouri’s story began before statehood and remains ingrained in the nation’s history. As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, The Story of US invites Missourians to reflect on how Missouri’s people and communities have shaped defining chapters of our shared American journey. In this year-long series, we honor the enduring power of place and the voices, both celebrated and too often unheard, that reveal Missouri’s contributions to the complexity and promise of the American experience.

Episode #5
S5 E5: How is Missouri Commemorating America250?
Sep 16, 202655 minS5
In this special episode of the Story of US podcast, we hear from several inspiring Missouri organizations who are some of the recipients of our Semi quincentennial grant funding to help us commemorate America250. They'll tell us about their grant project and how the work they’re doing helps bring stories to life of Missouri’s place in this pivotal moment in American history. This episode of the Story of Us podcast is also part of the nationwide initiative from the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage called By the People: Conversations Beyond 250.
In this episode, our guest is Vivian Gibson, author of The Last Children of Mill Creek and proof positive of the importance of telling your story. The book came out in 2020, amid the craze of the COVID19 pandemic, and has since grown to be a must-read. Mill Creek Valley was a segregated Black community in St. Louis city that was labeled "blighted" and razed for urban development in the late 1950s. Vivian’s book set out to humanize the people, stories, and places of Mill Creek through the eyes of her childhood. This is Gibson’s first book, and though it started as a retirement project, the momentum of the book ensured Gibson would not be slowing down any time soon.

<p>While we commemorate 250 years of American History, we're reminded of the people and stories who were here before the establishment of the United States. For this conversation, we're joined by Dr. Angela Cooper, Site Services Specialist at Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, to discuss a place that was once one of the biggest civilizations in North America, home to the Mississippian people and the largest pre-Columbian earthworks in the Americas. </p><p><br></p>
<p>In this episode, we’re thrilled to dive into a conversation about a true Missouri legend, Samuel Clemens, aka the one and only Mark Twain. Twain is someone who has undoubtedly contributed to the nation’s literary legacy and helped so many of us better appreciate the written word. To help us learn more about this Missouri icon, we talked with Megan Rapp from the Mark Twain Museum in Hannibal, Missouri. </p>
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
