Segment 1: Understanding who's who in the upcoming trial of Missouri Governor Eric Greitens.
Missouri Governor Eric Greitens will stand trial on Monday for a felony charge of invasion of privacy. In the courtroom overseen by Judge Rex Burlison will be more than just prosecutor Kim Gardner and defense lawyer Edward Dowd. Each will lead a team of powerhouse attorneys so there are a lot of names in the lineup. To help us make sense of them all, we ran down the rosters with two reporters familiar with the players involved.
- Jo Mannies, St. Louis Public Radio political reporter
- Rachel Lippmann, St. Louis Public Radio reporter

After forty years, Cyprus Avenue aired its final episode last week. Host Bill Shapiro was, for many listeners, a fixture of KCUR's weekend programming as he shared music from artists as diverse as Leonard Cohen and Alicia Keys. To celebrate his career, we heard a conversation between Shapiro, Ron Jones, and Up to Date host Steve Kraske.
