Richmond's Morning News with Rich Herrera

Once again today, the vacationing John Reid calls into his show for a conversation with Karen about his travels and the latest news and political stories.

After filing his campaign paperwork yesterday, 2024 U.S. Senate hopeful Hung Cao returns to the show -- to give Karen an update about his campaign.

Filling in for us on short notice, incoming State Senator Glen Sturtevant joins Karen atop the 8 o'clock hour this Wednesday morning, to discuss the upcoming General Assembly session and the Republicans' game plan.

At the bottom of the 7 o'clock hour this morning, Lt. Colonel (Ret.) Jeff Sacks returns to the show, to talk -- this time to Karen Michael -- about his "Save America" rally tomorrow in Fredericksburg.

With so many people resolving to make January "dry" (i.e., alcohol-free), Karen talks to Jody Sidle, the owner/operator of Point 5, a non-alcoholic bottle shop located in Carytown.

In the wake of a top Hamas leader's assassination, ABC's Jordana Miller rejoins Karen this Wednesday morning, to discuss that news story and others related to the ongoing war in Israel.

For the latest installment of "Giving Tuesday," Karen and Dan the Producer welcome to the show Andy Routzahn of the local sports organization Richmond Ultimate.  Andy discusses Richmond Ultimate's outreach in the community and organizers' efforts to teach good lessons for life through the game. 

Atop the 9 o'clock hour this morning, Karen welcomes Leslie Weirich for a conversation about suicide prevention and mental health.  (Leslie is the author of a new, topically related book, entitled The Gifts of Grief.)

Next for "New Year's Resolutions" Hour, Lauren Hodges of Lauren Hodges Nutrition joins (her aunt!) Karen, to talk about good eating habits.

For our "New Year's Resolutions" hour, Karen welcomes her own personal trainer, Rob Rideout, for a conversation about exercise and fitness.
