Cape Henry Shipwreck + EMS Blood Program + Warm Spring Week

from Tidewater Talk Hosted by Co and Brodie

This week on Tidewater Talk, we’re diving into a strange piece of history sitting just off Cape Henry, a sunken battleship that’s still right there under the water. We also talk about a new EMS initiative bringing blood directly to patients in the field, and why that could make a real difference across Hampton Roads. Plus, it finally feels like spring, warmer weather is here, lawns need mowing, and we’ve got a few local events to check out this weekend.
