Pat has been on the award-winning radio station since 2007 and has had a long career in broadcasting since her days in the United States Army when she hosted a television show.

Thurston was raised in the East Bay in a family of 8 children. She left California to work for the Secret Service, attend Indiana University/Purdue University and returned to Northern California and was married in 2002. She now lives in Marin county with her husband and 6-year old triplets!

On her new gig, "I love talk radio. It not only allows an exchange of ideas, but for debate and conversation. It gives me the impetus to stay informed."

KGO Newstalk 810 Operations Manager, Jack Swanson said, "Pat is a smart, funny and interesting personality who is no stranger to our audience. We’re delighted that she brings a woman’s perspective to the discussion."
