The 314 Podcast
<p>In this episode of <em>The 314 Podcast</em>, host <a href="https://www.stlmag.com/author/sarah-fenske/" rel="nofollow">Sarah Fenske</a> talks with NewsNation anchor Leland Vittert, who shares how growing up with autism and enduring bullying at some top St. Louis prep schools helped prepare him for the “viper pit” of TV journalism in Washington, D.C.—and discusses being let go from Fox News over his aggressive questioning of President Donald Trump’s administration. Then, Sarah chats with <em>SLM</em> staff writer Ryan Krull about his <a href="https://www.stlmag.com/news/benton-park-association-dara-daugherty/" rel="nofollow">coverage</a> of Dara Daugherty, whom the city has accused of running illegal rooming houses, but who continues to hold on to her real estate empire.
