Susan Giles Wantuck
Reporter/HostI love telling stories about my home state. And I hope they will help you in some way and maybe even lift your spirits.
I especially love reporting on stories about the arts or literature.
You may also hear me hosting a news magazine on WUSF or on Classical WSMR, spinning favorites from the Baroque era to contemporary performances.
