About this listen

 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.
