ArchCity Defenders and Action St. Louis present the premiere collaborative podcast, "Under The Arch." Your hosts Blake Strode, Executive Director of ArchCity Defenders, and Kayla Reed, Director of Action St. Louis, explore the issues facing our community and the people working to transform them.

We close out the season with a moment of introspection, recalling what the past year has meant for our community through a moving conversation with returning guest Rev. Dr. Starsky Wilson. Our hosts discuss his transition as outgoing President & CEO of Deaconess Foundation, a faith-based and grant-making organization devoted to making child well-being a civic priority in the St. Louis region, to incoming President & CEO of National Children’s Defense Fund, a national child advocacy organization that works to uplift all children, especially poor children and children of color. Tune in to their insightful reflections on their relationship with Wilson as a mentor and his experience and impact as pastor, activist, philanthropist, community leader, and champion for children’s rights in St. Louis.
