It’s deeply personal, but never closed off.

AC Scott On Finding Her Voice, Crossing Oceans, And Starting Again When It Mattered Most

For most of her life, Alison Craig, now recording as AC Scott, was the one asking the questions. As a celebrated broadcaster and interviewer, she built a career drawing stories out of others.
