Famous Firsts with Alex Mac
Alex Mac
Evening Host
WWDC (DC101)/Washington, D.C.
I started as an intern at WRXL in Richmond, VA knowing nothing about radio - just a huge music fan. I worked under Dustin (the artist formerly known as “Fletcher”) Matthews, and look what happened! The band is back together at DC101.
I remember seeing ZZ Top with my dad when I was super young, but the show that I saved up for with my first job, ice cream scooping money was My Chemical Romance with MUSE as the opening act at William & Mary in 2007 - which totally tracks.
I bought Led Zeppelin III on cassette at a flea market because I thought the cover was cool. I remember playing it in my mom's minivan just being blown away hearing the “Immigrant Song” for the first time.
Oof it was Glass Animals at the National in Richmond, VA. I was only a month or two into my first gig doing nights on WRXL, and let's just say it was not my best work... Nice guys though!
Most recently, I turned the board over for my first live shift on DC101, and the station went off IMMEDIATELY. Dustin, Tamo, if you're reading this - I swear it wasn't my fault!
