I'll be creating another History Reinvented Podcast soon (on Belle Isle), which I'm looking for sponsors for. In the mean, I'm about to launch a new (and yet another) podcast---the World Music Show - Interviews from the Archives.

For almost two decades I hosted a World Music Show on a public radio station, where during that time, I interviewed dozens of musicians, authors and filmmakers.

These include Angelique Kidjo, Jack Johnson, Los Lobos, Vieux Farka Toure and More. You can also listen to my music show on Mixcloud.

So keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, make sure you're listening to the Mechanics of Transportation/ RVA Bike Scene and watching my dorky videos on YouTube at IanStewartCycles.

If you want to support my efforts then feel free to Venmo me at: Ian-Stewart-82 or Buy Me a Coffee.

So, it’s been awhile since season two of History Reinvented, Pine Camp, the stairs to nowhere wrapped up. But as luck would have it, I’ve got a few bonus episodes coming up.

It all started because of listener Andrew Phinney. He grew up all over RVA and he’s a history buff too. He got in touch with me about another story related to Pine Camp, specifically the cemetery near where some of the new bike trails are.

Now comes the time for me to think about Season three. But I need your help…I’m debating a couple of areas to dive into the history and future of. Those include Brown’s Island and Belle Isle which have a rich and troubled history with the city but are turning into a special space for the city; And it includes the Nickel Bridge, which just celebrated its centennial—that could be lumped in with some transportation history as well, such as the rail cars that once moved Richmonders.

What are your thoughts? What would you like to hear about? You can let me know in a few different ways—either on my Buzzsprout fan page; or in the comments wherever you listen or via my email, which is in the show notes.

And here’s where else I need your help…I do these on my own, I’ve got no sponsors or corporate backers–if you are interested in sponsoring the next season, let me know.

Or if you want to help, I’ve created a new Buy me Coffee link that allows you to help support my efforts as a freelance reporter and podcaster. https://buymeacoffee.com/ian_stewart

Or you can Venmo me a few dollars at Ian-Stewart-82 to buy me some coffee or gas.

You can also help support my efforts by sharing this podcast on all your socials and by rating it and leaving a comment.

Also, here’s another question…I know many podcasts are moving also to YouTube–is that something you’re interested in? If so, let me know. Not sure how I’ll do that, since I’m an audio reporter by trade but I’d be interested if there’s a demand.

Be sure to check out my other podcast, called The Mechanics of Transportation in which I talk to local Richmond and national experts about all things transportation. And, if you like music, check out Ian’s World O’ Music show on Mixcloud.

Plus, you can always look for my freelance work on outlets like Virginia Mercury, The Richmonder, Richmond Magazine and on the podcast Full Disclosure with Roben Farzad.

I’m Ian Stewart, thanks for tagging along.
