Ep 305 | Aired 7/29/22we are replaying my interview with classically trained vocalist Ms. Stephanie Smittle and her partner Stephen Koch, founder and host of the syndicated radio show Arkansongs. By day, Stephanie writes for the Arkansas Times Magazine but, in the night, you might see her performing with any number of ensembles, ranging from folk and jazz to performing with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra. Recently, Stephanie released a new, self-titled album with music she wrote using an autoharp and her alluring voice.  Mr. Stephen Koch’s love of music is wide, historical, and rooted in his Stuttgart DJ father’s love of ragtime. In 1998, Stephen and his co-host, Keith Merckx, began a two-hour radio program in Little Rock, where they dug deep into the history of the musical pioneers of Arkansas. They named the radio show Arkansongs. In addition, Stephen is a musician in his metal band Arkopolis.
