Have you missed recent episodes of Open Source RVA, Richmond's weekly audio news digest?
By all means, CATCH UP! That's why the Good Lord made podcasting.
The April 26 episode features a frank interview with Richmond City Councilman Chris Hilbert. Among other things, the 3rd district rep will talk about why he has announced his 2016 mayoral candidacy so early. We also introduce you to a new Virginia hip-hop archive at William & Mary College that charts the early days of in-state beatmasters like Timbaland and Pharrell Williams (shown). W&M PhD candidate Kevin Kosanovich, who helped to start the project, joins us.
Our April 19 installment introduces you to OSRVA's newest co-host, Style Weekly news editor Scott Bass.
