  • Bob's managed to combine his knowledge of classical music and history with a sharp wit and a talent for foreign languages into a radio career since 1966. Long-time listeners to WNIU (and we mean long) may remember Bob's voice from decades ago. While studying the ramifications of the "Time of Troubles" on the Grand Duchy of Moscow, he led a secret life as the evening man on WNIU. He's glad to be back and loves sharing classical music with our listeners.
  • Lynne recently returned to a career in radio after a four-year hiatus. In this "Cavorts with Collies" period, she followed her lifelong passion for working with dogs as a trainer and behavior consultant. She started "Good Dog Productions," her in-home dog training business, in 2006. Previous to The Dog Mutterer phase, she served in many music-hosting capacities in Minnesota, including the Minnesota High School Music Listening Contest, Echoes of Christmas with the Dale Warland Singers, Sommerfest broadcasts, and as a guest narrator with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and Minnesota Orchestra.
  • John got started in broadcasting as a news anchor at his high school's closed-circuit television station, and then at St. Olaf College in Minnesota. After a dozen years doing virtually everything there was to do at a small public radio station, John crossed over into the private sector, doing audio production and narration for a major educational publishing company, managing translation projects for an international communications company, and generally learning what it's like to work for a living. Having seen the light, John returned to radio in 1992. After deciding his zen garden was too much of a headache, John looks for enlightenment on the tennis court and the billiard table instead.

  • Staci Hoste joined the stations in 2008 and is responsible for the stations' general operations and overall strategy. She’s been a lifelong listener to WNIJ and WNIU -- first as a “prisoner of public radio” in her parents' backseat, 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, Staci 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.
