BONUS Episode: Rita Houston full interview

Program Director and DJ at WFUV Public Radio in New York for 25 years, Rita Houston (1961-2020) was a tremendously influential and important figure in radio and in music. She helped launch the careers of Brandi Carlile, Adele, and countless others. This is her full SHEROES Playlist.

In this companion to Episode 6, A Tribute To Rita Houston, hear the full conversation between Rita and Carmel Holt, recorded in May of 2019 at SONOS in NYC.

Rita Houston was a legendary and trailblazing radio personality and Program Director at WFUV Public Radio in New York for twenty five years, where Carmel spent 6 years of her radio career just prior to starting SHEROES. Rita was diagnosed with ovarian cancer just a year after Carmel was hired, and so worked closely with her in what would be her final years.

The audio from this conversation sat untouched until the day of Rita's death, December 15th, 2020, when Carmel's grief led her to open the file, and finish producing it to honor her memory.
