St. Louis Public Radio introduces mailbag video series on Missouri politics

The Missouri flag is illuminated by sunlight in 2023 in downtown St. Louis.

St. Louis Public Radio is adding a feature to the station’s digital repertoire: a video series in which we ask listeners to chime in on Missouri politics questions.

The concept is pretty straightforward: STLPR’s Jason Rosenbaum will pose a question on social media platforms about Missouri politics — and he’ll compile the best responses in a video hosted on the station’s YouTube page.

The first installment is: “Who comes to mind when you think of Missouri politics — and why?” The response was robust, with listeners pointing to heavy hitters like former President Harry S Truman and former U.S. Sens. Claire McCaskill and Kit Bond. Others picked lesser-known political figures, including former House Speaker Bob Griffith.

Jason is the politics correspondent for St. Louis Public Radio.
