  • Amazing

    The best podcast about the people who are currently shaping St. Louis, and it’s not even close. Sarah Fenske is the best interviewer in town, and Ryan Krull is doing the lord’s work with his reporting.

    I am an Arch supporter so came for the interview with Ryan McClure. But Sarah’s energy, great questions, and my love of the Lou made me an immediate subscriber. Thanks for telling about the good happening in our city.

Q: What can people who aren't running a corporation do to help the Latino community continue its upward trajectory in St. Louis?
