Cheryl Glaser
came to broadcasting via the direct route: by way of her interests in
international relations, foreign languages,
high-tech, and the nonprofit sector. Before joining Marketplace in
1996, she was the morning news anchor for KLON-FM, KTWV-FM, and various other radio stations in the greater L.A. area. Before becoming the Marketplace business editor, Cheryl served as host of the Marketplace Morning Report.
Cheryl has a degree in international relations from Pomona College,
where she barely managed to pass one of her economics classes.
Perhaps as a result of that, two of her main goals for Marketplace are to demystify business and economics
and show the human side of those disciplines. Cheryl has also taken
courses at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva,
Switzerland, in addition to pursuing language and cultural studies in
Austria and Italy. She remains a compulsive traveler.
The business world can be a real pressure cooker. Don't take out your frustration on the interns — duck into The Marketplace Confessional and let off that steam anonymously.
