  • Warm welcome to Elaine Cho

    I welcome the addition of Elaine Cho as host. She is elegant in her presentation, an excellent interviewer, and has a calm, professional demeanor. She is clearly well-versed in the subjects she presents and her manor delivers information and observations without hysteria. I hope she has a long tenure with STLPR. She is a class act and I really enjoy her delivery, her empathy, and her insight. She is delightful and greatly appreciated.
