Richmond's Morning News with Rich Herrera

With at least general plans for a new Richmond baseball stadium unveiled, Jonathan Spiers, of Richmond BizSense, returns to the show -- for a conversation with John about the design, development location, and construction timetable.

Next up this AM is Rob Smith, Managing Director at Chartwell Capital Advisors and a University of Richmond Law School graduate.  John and Rob have a candid discussion about "Pleasurefest" week on Richmond's campus.  (My sense is that Rob is against the festival!)

"Hump Day" has arrived!  First up this Wednesday morning is Senior Communications Advisor for Virginia's Department of Veteran Services, Jeb Hockman.  John and Jeb discuss National Vietnam War Veterans Day (which is this Friday) and plans to commemorate the matter.

For the latest installment of "Giving Tuesday," John welcomes Wayne Walker back to the show for another conversation about The Fisher House.

As Holy Week continues for Christians, John talks to Corey Widemer, Lead Pastor at Third Church in the West End.  John and Corey talk about faith, Easter, and the task that clergy have of trying to minister to and lead congregations composed of people with differing ideological and theological views.

Atop the 8 o'clock hour, we talk to Patrick McCloud, Executive Director of the Virginia Apartment Management Association.  John and Patrick have a conversation about squatters' (")rights(") here in Virginia, based on what has transpired recently in states like New York and California.

Next up this Tuesday morning, we welcome to the show first-time guest Misty Whitehead, one of the new members elected to Henrico's Board of Supervisors (in her case, representing the Three Chopt District).  John and Misty talk about the recent changes to Henrico Police protocol -- with Misty asserting that police "will still provide . . . stellar" service in the county.

Well, this is Tuesday that is definitely off to, shall we say, a memorable start. . . .  With many eyes on Baltimore, we talk to Karen Michael of Karen Michael Consulting, first about the container ship-caused bridge collapse earlier this AM, and then about a DEI-related lawsuit via which a white male won a judgment for wrongful termination.

It's NASCAR Race Week!  With that being so, we hear from Richmond Raceway Track Director Lori Waran -- who tells John all about this coming weekend's festivites!

At the bottom of the 8 o'clock hour this morning, we hear from our other regularly scheduled Monday guest: Jim Bacon (of Bacon's Rebellion and The Jefferson Council)!  John talks to Jim about some of the latest stories on his website, as well as the University of Richmond's "Pleasurefest"!
