Open Source RVA: Jan. 25, 2013 Podcast

On the latest edition of Open Source RVA, which is broadcast every Friday at 4PM on 97.3 FM and http://wrir.org, you'll hear from Richmond's new 1st district representative on city council and get to know a local photographer that many are calling one of the bright lights of contemporary Southern art.

City Councilman Jon Baliles won a very narrow victory over incumbent Bruce Tyler in the Nov. 2012 election -- by a mere 22 votes -- and talks with us about his legislative priorities, including his commitment to the arts and how he hopes to update the out-of-date technology at City Hall. It's a frank and freewheeling discussion with the son of a former Virginia governor, and the man who helped to spearhead Richmond's Street Art Festival last year.

We also talk with photographer Susan Worsham as well as Gordon Stettinius and Amy Ritchie from Candela Books + Gallery. Worsham's new exhibit, "Bittersweet on Bostwick Lane" is currently on display at Candela and focuses on her childhood growing up on the campus of the University of Richmond.
