On Friday’s St. Louis on the Air, St. Louis Public Radio’s Shahla Farzan went behind the headlines on the biggest regional story of the week: the indictment and resignation of former St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger.

Joining the conversation was St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Jacob Barker, who is one of the journalists behind much of the reporting that detailed reasons why Stenger was indicted.
