Chaz Nuttycombe, 26, has taken the election prediction world by storm, becoming one of the most talked about and sought after forecasters in the country.

He’s quick to share the credit.

“When it comes to my job as a forecaster, and now a pollster, I work with a brilliant polling committee,” Nuttycombe told Catie Beck during an appearance on the most recent episode of ‘Untold – A WTVR Podcast.’

And for good reason. Nuttycombe and his teammates at the nonprofit operation State Navigate were stunningly accurate when it came to calling the outcomes of the various 2025 Virginia contests.

“We did pretty well this year, especially in our polling,” said Nuttycombe. “There was only one other pollster by margin of victory, YouGov, that did better than us for the governor race. They had Spanberger by 15, we had 13 in both of our surveys….Of every pollster that asked about the races here in Virginia for governor and lieutenant governor and attorney general, we did the best.”

After high school, the western Hanover native took his growing passion to Virginia Tech, where he honed his craft and created an election prediction company called CNalysis, a sort of predecessor to State Navigate.

In the latest episode of “Untold – A WTVR Podcast,” host Catie Beck sits down with Bill Bolling, who served as Virginia’s lieutenant governor from 2006 until 2014.

The Republican has one of the most fascinating “what if” stories in the history of Virginia politics. Many assumed he would be his party’s next gubernatorial nominee after Bob McDonnell. But when the Virginia GOP changed their nominating procedure, Bolling dropped out, Ken Cuccinelli became the candidate, and Republicans lost the next election.

Bolling now teaches political science at Virginia Commonwealth University and George Mason University, and he has no qualms about criticizing Democrats or Republicans, when he thinks it is warranted.

In the latest episode of “Untold – A WTVR Podcast,” host Catie Beck sits down with Mike Wade, the former sheriff of Henrico County.

Wade spent two decades running one of the largest jail systems in the state, and has been credited with implementing one of the nation's best substance abuse treatment programs for inmates.

He’s been retired for several years, but he told Catie there’s one issue that still keeps him up at night, and he doesn’t think enough is being done to address it.

“I wish politicians would start talking about mental illness and how they can solve it and what they can do,” Wade said. “I’m really, really surprised that we’re in an election year and I haven’t heard a single politician talk about it.”

One of the biggest problems, according to Wade, is that too many people with serious psychiatric issues are still being brought to local jails.

“Getting somebody into a hospital is very difficult,” said Wade. “In order to get a TDO (temporary detention order), you have to name the location where you’re taking them to, and that’s always been the problem. It used to be eight hours that you had to get that, then it went to 16, this is how the General Assembly’s dealt with it. Now it reads 11:59pm on the third day after it [the TDO] is issued.”

Catie Beck talks with Todd “Parney” Parnell, the longtime face and former CEO of the Richmond Flying Squirrels.

Parnell, a native of small-town North Carolina, arrived in Richmond more than 15 years ago, helping bring baseball back to the River City. He almost immediately became a local celebrity, and a 24-7 champion for this community.

But he admits his passion for his job– and in particular the years-long fight to get a new stadium built for the Squirrels – took a toll on his health, leading him to make a career change two years ago.
