  • 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.

Q: Why did you decide to write this book now, and is the 100-year anniversary a factor?
The author explains the 1926 World Series and Lindbergh-era milestones, plus a personal interest in connecting the Cardinals' legacy with broader St. Louis history, which led to the book and its focus on 1926 as a pivotal moment alongside other stories.
Lincoln University alumni and students sue Missouri alleging nearly $362M underfunding
Q: What prompted you to file this lawsuit?

Q: How is Kalshi different from a traditional sportsbook like DraftKings or FanDuel?
Kalshi is a peer-to-peer exchange where prices are set by the market, not by the house; it doesn't profit from users losing, and it matches users with opposing views instead of acting as the house that takes the other side of bets.
