Today we are also joined by Sarah Bradley and Dr. Dan Moore. Sarah is the Communications Manager for Wilton Construction. Dr. Dan is the owner the RevMed in Richmond, Virginia and he is a Direct Primary Care physician.  We also have a call in to Jessie Black who is the Mitigation Manager for Wilton Construction.

We have a big issue with mold in Virginia with the extreme humidity combined with rainy days - especially in the spring. And that leads to a much higher level of mold than in dryer states. Mold grows wherever moisture or humidity is present. Because this is such a huge issue in the state, we sit down to discuss how to recognize if you have an issue in your home, how to get ride of mold safely, when to call in an expert and what the health issues are related to exposure to mold.

Today we are talking to Richmond Radio legend Bill Bevins, who has been the voice of Richmond for over 50 years on both radio and television. 

From his top-rated shows on B103 and Lite 98 to his daily CBS6 TV show, Virginia This Morning, his humor and storytelling abilities shine through. His many awards include the prestigious Virginia Communications Hall of Fame induction . 

We can still tune in to see Bill co-host WTVR’s Virginia this Morning but for everyone missing Bill on the radio - you are in for a treat! 

Bill and his longtime friend Bud Myers had been talking for years about how limiting radio stations were in the music they played. It wasn’t a Breeze to come up with a way to present music to the public the way they wanted but after many years and new opportunities created with streaming, they have found a way to share their vision and the music they love with us.  

You can enjoy Bill again each morning on the BREEZE from 7AM to 11AM by streaming from vabreeze.com
