Staci Hoste

Staci Hoste joined the stations in 2008 and is responsible for general operations and overall strategy. She has been a lifelong listener to WNIJ and WNIU — first as a "prisoner of public radio" in her parents' back seat and now of her own enthusiastic accord. Her favorite shows include "On the Media," "This American Life" and "Wait, Wait…Don't Tell Me."  In addition to her role at the station, Hoste serves on the board of directors for Riverfront Museum Park, Kish Health System Hospice, The University Station Alliance and the Illinois Public Broadcasting Council. When time allows. she enjoys reading and working on an ongoing home restoration project.
