Welcome back to another episode of the Round the Triangle podcast, where we are diving into a recent controversial decision made by the Virginia Peninsula Swim Union (VPSU) in February to reject USA Swimming's inclusive policies and instead require student athletes to compete based on sex assigned at birth, rather than their chosen gender. This decision has sparked debate and concern among parents and community members.
Howdy everyone! We’re back with another podcast. In this week’s episode, I interview William & Mary Professor Amy Quark and organization founder Jacqueline Bridgeforth Williams from the local nonprofit The Village Initiative about their sixth annual equity report, which sheds light on persistent disparities in the Williamsburg-James City County (WJCC) school division.
Amy and Jackie share the troubling findings from their report, hi...
Howdy everyone, hope your week is going well. This week’s podcast features an interview with Richmond-based journalist Goad Gatsby, who spoke to me as he was covering the Pro-Palestine protest at Virginia Commonwealth University this past Monday, which ended in officers from multiple law enforcement agencies sweeping the camp. 13 protesters were arrested, including 6 students.
Goad explains why the charge of “antisemitism” against t...
Correction: Gary Porter’s FOIA Request asked which speakers during public comment were teachers. It did not ask about addresses.

Happy weekend! This month’s local history podcast revisits the panel I moderated at the Lemon Project Symposium last month about changing the names of James Blair Middle School and Magruder Elementary, both of which are tied to the legacy of slavery.
The panel featured members of the Lassiter family from East Williamsburg, who are taking a stand to rename these schools to better reflect the values of equity and inclusiveness at the ...

The most recent Round the Triangle newsletter highlighted Dog Rescue Flights, a Williamsburg-based nonprofit program that runs flights to save healthy animals at risk of being put down, transporting them to safer locations and connecting many with forever homes.
Dr. Rick Campana, a retired physician, started the program a few years ago, a...
At first, Raymond Copeland thought it was a prank. His face on a “Wanted” post by the York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office on Jan. 7 couldn’t be real. But it was.
The Facebook post had named Raymond, a dedicated teen services director for Boys and Girls Club of Southeast Virginia, as a suspect in a York County shooting on Jan. 6, but he didn’t have anything to do with it. His wallet had been stolen over the holiday season, and it was in ...
Howdy! It’s time for another local history podcast brought to you by Round the Triangle. In this episode, we are exploring the controversy surrounding Magruder Elementary School in York County.

“Having known for some time past that Hampton was the harbor of runaway slaves and traitors, and bein...
