    Legal Roundtable: A mistrial in St. Louis over media comments could lead to ‘chilling effect’ for attorneys
    2026/02/27
    What a lawyer says to the media can have consequences at trial. St. Louis saw an example of that after a comment last week on St. Louis on the Air contributed to a judge declaring a mistrial in a high-profile trial this week. On this Legal Roundtable edition of the program, our panel of expert attorneys reacts to the decision and addresses the risk of talking to reporters about a pending case. One panelist confirmed the ruling is already making an impact: “It will have a chilling effect on my willingness to talk to the media.” The panel also discusses an unusual lawsuit involving a police officer facing formal discipline for sending a reply-all email, the legal status of gas station gambling machines, and more.

    What happens when a border becomes more than just a line on a map? We feature Episode 2 of STLPR’s podcast, “Meet Me,” exploring life along the St. Louis city-county border. It’s the second half of our deep dive into the Great Divorce, the decision 150 years ago that split the region into city and county. We also revisit the ambitious Better Together proposal from 2019 that sought to merge the two — why it failed and what its collapse reveals about power, trust, race and regional identity. Later, “Meet Me” host and lead producer Luis Antonio Perez and engagement producer Paola Rodriguez join the show.

    How East St. Louis became a battleground against an international chemical giant
    2026/02/25
    Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, progressive disorder with no cure, and its rate of incidence in the Midwest is one of the highest in the country. We explore why — including new research that shows a strong link between exposure to a widely used herbicide and the development of the disease. Journalist Mike Fitzgerald shares how East St. Louis became a battleground against the chemical giant that produces the herbicide and how the Trump administration’s cuts to biomedical funding could have big repercussions for people focused on a cure. We also hear from two St. Louis residents who live with the condition.
