Thursday Breakfast Blend with Galaxy Girl & Friends

08/29/2025

WRIR is moving out of our dilapidated home on Broad to a newly renovated and accessible space in Shockoe. We need everyone's support to fund this endeavor.

I know the goal is huge ($2 million), and while we are hoping for a lot of small donation, grass roots support, we also need those big corporate donors. If you know of a business (or collective) who would like to support free speech and independent media, please put them in touch with the capital campaign committee: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C81yc0_2TKB09RJ9ALs98zhCyCmJlnR3_hMdOtwrzuU/edit?usp=sharing

If you want to donate funds personally, we are running a Go Fund Me campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-wrirlp-973fms-urgent-relocation

On this week’s show, I’m giving away a pair of tickets to see Cheekface and Pacing, Monday night at Richmond Music Hall at Capital Ale House.
Also… I’m debating whether or not to play “Le Poisson Steve.” It’s been stuck in my head for days, and I haven’t decided whether playing the entire song will make it worse or not. Whaddya think?
