It’s Still Our City | Ep. 6 Vinyl Conflict

by | Mar 27, 2025 | COMMUNITY, CULTURE, MUSIC, PODCASTS, POP CULTURE

“Holy smokes, Bobby from Vinyl Conflict, this guy is truly one of a kind. I honestly can’t imagine Richmond without him. His hands are in all the good pots—often with little to gain beyond making the city cooler, more fun, and more connected. A jack of all trades, and he does it all with a grin: small business owner, promoter, facilitator, Italian disco DJ… Meanwhile, I’m over here struggling to keep my cat’s food situation dialed in.

In this episode, we talk about his journey to Richmond and how he started weaving himself into the city’s fabric—from launching his business and hosting hangouts at the BONEZONE, to saying goodbye to beloved friends and, naturally, some talk about Lars Ulrich. This one was a blast. I’m really grateful for Bobby Eggers and hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. Hope you’re catching some sunlight and staying grounded amidst the ongoing chaos out there. And thank you for all the sick and twisted birthday wishes—seriously, y’all are the best. Cheers.” — host, Harrison Christy
