Richmond's Morning News with Rich Herrera

Atop the 7 o'clock hour, Dad (AKA Jim "Hobbo" Hobgood) does "Dan the Producer" a favor -- calling in to chat with Gary about the upcoming General Assembly session, as well as the forthcoming Iowa Caucus.

First up this Tuesday morning is ABC News' Jordana Miller, who calls in to talk to Gary about Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to Israel.

Next, Gary welcomes Jim Bacon of Bacon's Rebellion to the show; Jim and Gary do a roundup of the latest stories around Virginia that Jim has been reporting on for his site (perhaps most notably, University of Virginia President Jim Ryan's attempt to navigate the war in Israel, rhetorically).

Atop the 8 o'clock hour, Michael Phillips of MP on the Mic joins Gary, to talk about the State of the Washington Commanders -- and to preview the first weekend of the NFL Playoffs.  (Go, Steelers!)

Next up with Gary this morning is DecideSmart's Bob Holsworth, who previews the forthcoming General Assembly session, set to kick off this Wednesday.

Joining Gary atop the 7 o'clock hour this Monday morning is Jonathan Spiers of Richmond BizSense.  Jonathan and Gary talk about the latest developments with the initiative for a new Richmond ballpark, to replace The Diamond.

Gary Hess is in for John this week -- and joining him to start with this Monday morning is ABC News' Jordana Miller, who calls in with her latest update regarding the war in Israel.

Say you'll remember me. . . .  Who could forget Taylor Swift? Well, certainly not Travis Kelce, Karen Michael, or Mike-Mayo.com's Mike Mayo, who joins Karen so as to review the cinematic phenomenon Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.

TGIF!  This means that former Virginia Governor and U.S. Senator George Allen is back -- to pick football games with Gary, Karen, Dan the Producer, and John's (in)famous coin.

Atop the 8 o'clock hour this Friday morning, Karen talks to Lythos Studios' Clay Hamner about what folks can do in and around Richmond this weekend.
