Rural communities deserve to be heard.

That’s the whole idea behind the New Rural Virginia Podcast.

We’re having practical, honest conversations with our neighbors, local leaders, and candidates who know their communities, bringing new energy and ideas to tough challenges.

The voices of rural Virginia are essential to the future of the Commonwealth.

Co-hosted by Larry Wohlers and Parson Brown
