  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A growing St. Louis restaurant empire is taking root in the Grove
Q: What makes the St. Louis restaurant scene special, and why stay rooted here?
There's a strong sense of community support for local dining, a willingness to experiment, and a hunger for immersive experiences. The lower cost of doing business compared to coastal cities attracts talent, and the city's walkable neighborhoods like the Grove offer a compelling stage for new concepts to thrive.
A growing St. Louis restaurant empire is taking root in the Grove
Q: Why did you decide to go so fully into opening multiple restaurants at once?
I was driven by a passion for building teams, nurturing talent, and creating spaces where people can express themselves. When the right people and ideas come together, it makes sense to provide opportunities for growth across several concepts rather than concentrating on a single location.
Metro East Literacy Project puts books in the hands of young readers and their parents
Q: How do you implement your signature approach to family literacy in practical terms?
The project distributes bags of books to homes, complements this with kitchen-table tutoring, and promotes an Imitate Reading Initiative where adults model reading to create a culture of literacy, supported by partnerships with local organizations and schools.
Metro East Literacy Project puts books in the hands of young readers and their parents
Q: What inspired you to start the Metro East Literacy Project, and when did you begin?
An accumulation of experiences, starting with her illiterate grandmother and alarming national statistics about fourth-grade reading levels, led Linda Mitchell to form the project in 2012, with nonprofit status achieved in 2019 and a focus on bringing books into homes to foster family literacy.
How plant science is taking root in East St. Louis
Q: What future crops and educational goals are you pursuing in this program?
Beyond lettuce, there is interest in collards, microgreens, herbs, and potentially mushrooms, with a strong emphasis on involving the community and students to build local food systems and entrepreneurship.
