Episode 233: ARC History with Rachel Stewart

We continue to celebrate ARC's 20th anniversary with Joe Kendrick's interview of founding Alternative Radio Coalition member Rachel Stewart

Rachel was one of the few original ARC hosts with prior radio experience from hosting WDAV's alternative music program "Flipsides" in the late 1980's. In this conversation, she recalls the initial meetings that got the grassroots organization off the ground, her work as ARC's first Music Director, putting up an ARC booth at Lollapalooza in Charlotte, and much more.
