Susan Stamberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Susan Stamberg (b. 7 September 1938, Newark, New Jersey) is an American radio journalist, currently a Special Correspondent for National Public Radio and guest host for Weekend Edition Saturday.
A member of the Broadcasting Hall of Fame and the Radio Hall of Fame, she was the first woman to be a full-time anchor of a national nightly news broadcast in the United States when she became one of the first hosts of All Things Considered. Beginning in 1972, Stamberg served as co-host of NPR's award-winning newsmagazine All Things Considered for 14 years.
Each Thanksgiving, she is also known for providing NPR listeners with her mother-in-law's recipe for a cranberry relish sauce that is noteworthy for having horseradish as one of its principal ingredients. The recipe is known as Mama Stamberg's Cranberry Relish Recipe.[1]
She is married to Louis C. Stamberg, retired from the Department of State's Agency for International Development in Washington. They have one son, Josh Stamberg, an actor.
One of her most memorable interviews was with Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman. Stamberg argued with Friedman over the merits of the free market, claiming her conversations with "Russian cabbies" on the streets of New York had showed that the expatriates preferred life in the former Communist country to "how dreadfully tough their lives are here (the United States)." Friedman dismissed Stamberg's observation, contending, "I'm saying if you really want to know what they really believe about the relative merits of the two systems, see what they do, not what they say. And what they do is to stay here. They don't go back."[2]
