Open Source RVA October 27, 2023
On Friday’s pre-Halloween, just-a-little-bit-scary edition of Open Source RVA, heard at noon on WRIR 97.3 FM, I talk about the upcoming state elections with Liz White, executive director of UpVote Virginia. Her organization helped to spur on the state’s new redistricting maps, and she tells us how the new battle lines have already affected this November’s General Assembly races. THEN Dina Weinstein focuses on the history of the first Native American school in America, the Brafferton Indian School, which was established in 1697 to provide Christian education to Native Americans in Virginia. Joining Dina are Liz Covart, Christopher Custalow and Fallon Burner, staffers at Colonial Williamsburg who have produced a striking two-part podcast on the school’s history as part of CW’s Ben Franklin’s World podcast series. ALL OF THAT PLUS Armistead Wellford of the late, lamented “Midnight Frights” (and bassist for Love Tractor) stops by to celebrate Halloween with Don, Dina, Krysti and Chuck. BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID! Friday at noon on WRIR 97.3FM and wrir.org.
