In this two part podcast series, I’ll take you on a trip through the history around Mayo Island and the Mayo Bridge, from its early beginnings to what the future holds for this historic part of the Richmond Landscape. 

In this episode of the series, we’re diving into what’s next for the island.

New episodes will try to drop each week but, as a freelance reporter, I could surely use some help with you subscribing and supporting this podcast. And if you’re a sponsor who may be interested in helping, then please do reach out. Heck, you could even Venmo me a few dollars to buy me some coffee at Ian-Stewart-82

Be sure to check out my other podcast, called The Mechanics of Transportation in which I talk to local Richmond and national experts about all things transportation—including topics on cargo bikes, multi-use trails and more. And, if you like music, check out Ian’s World O’ Music show on Mixcloud. For 17 years, I had a world music show on a local public radio station, where I also happened to report on transportation topics.

For many Richmond residents, the James River is a lifeline to nature, a respite from the day to day trials that encompass us all. 

In this episode of the series, we’re diving into what’s next for the island – I spoke with people who worked on part of the island, interested parties, members of the parks department and with the sole owner of the remaining piece of land on the island not owned by the city.
