In this episode of The 314 Podcast, host Sarah Fenske talks with Christine Byers about the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s move back to state control. Byers, who covered the department for 14 years for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and KSDK, discusses why state control offered advantages for transparency—and what to look for during the transition. Then, Sarah chats with SLM staff writer Ryan Krull about what he learned about the St. Louis rectory where Pope Leo XIV once lived.
