from Virginians · host William Makepeace Thackeray

It tells the story of Henry Esmond's twin grandsons, George and Henry Warrington.

(Summary by Wikipedia) VIRGINIANS OF INTEREST Brian Campbell and Carthan Currin Hosts Brian Campbell and Carthan Currin interview some of Virginia's most interesting and illuminating people. Carthan and Brian have been friends for more than 30 years and share a passion for all things Virginia!  They lost touch for many years, but reconnected in 2020 while Carthan was involved with the Economic Development Office for the City of Petersburg and Brian was working on the Medicines for All Project at Virginia Commonwealth University.  Both talked frequently about various issues facing the Commonwealth and started kicking around the idea of a podcast.  Both Carthan and Brian consider themselves a bit technically challenged, so when the opportunity to host a podcast at Blue Ridge PBS in Roanoke presented itself, they jumped in with both feet! We hope you enjoy the conversations!
