On the first installment of the AVR Podcast, I had the opportunity to sit down with Chris Maloney and Brendan Ginsburg, two owners and operators of Circle Thrift here in RVA. This beautiful space is an art space, community center, and (hopefully again sometime soon) a venue for music and performances of all types. We talked about everything from fun to work, from partying to community service, from the hardships of poverty and running a business to the joys of creating and improving the world around you.

Amazing stuff!

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.
