“Until then, my sincere thanks go to our loyal and loving sponsors and listeners, our fabulous crew at KQTH, and my extended family of local chefs, restaurateurs, brewers, distillers, winemakers, and sommeliers whose stories we’ve had the privilege to tell over the years,” Russell said. “Simply said, we love what we do because they love what they do.
