Pamela McCall
All Things Considered HostPamela is a dual citizen who hails from Canada and has been wandering the planet as a journalist. Vancouver, Hong Kong, London, New York and Seattle have been along her well-trodden path. She’s worked for the BBC World Service, CBS News Radio and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. On 9-11, Pamela was an eyewitness to the collapse of the World Trade Center. Her love of skiing, mountains and radio has brought her back to Salt Lake City, where she covered ski racing during the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Pamela is a certified ski instructor and a fledgling cook who admits to not being fully domesticated. She drove her well-worn car with her beloved kitty Possum through one Canadian province and three states to arrive at her new home at the foot of the Wasatch mountains.
