7-9pm DJ MC Kat Stratford's Updated Playlist 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) gave us a lot to love, introducing the delightfully pissed-off Kat Statford and her raging music taste. In 1999, Kat was in the riotgrrrl era of alt-rock angry-girl music. 20 years later, pissed-off women and their feminist messages come in many different forms. Tune in for DJ MC's conception of Kat Stratford's playlist in 2019.
