James River Exchange

Welcome to the James River Exchange. I am your host, Nancy Gill. I have been toying with the logo since I started this podcast in 2021. In fact, on June 30th—the first published—is the James River Exchange’s fifth year celebration. What better way to start the sixth year with a new logo designed by Sean Rubin. In this episode, I met Sean in his studio. He is in the middle of a major project so I c...

In this episode, the 258th, I met Zach Bullock on the banks of the James here in Scottsville. We talked about Valley Link’s proposed transmission lines and how the project would affect us.

A BUNCH OF AMATEURS....Plot: Jefferson Steel is a fading Hollywood action star who is trying to revitalize his career by playing King Lear in Stratford.

This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss t...

This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other sub...

Welcome to the James Exchange, I am your host, Nancy Gill. It has been awhile since I put out anything, and the time is now. I had a fantastic conversation with Terri Long.

I took this opportunity to play around with some new equipment. There are a few gl...

Weather with Liz is definitely not the norm of reporting on what’s happening outside! A little twist with this report. Water levels today: We will be getting back to telling everyone about what’s happening with Scottsville Town Council and other actions that may or may not affect us. Until next time, this is Liz with the weather and Nancy pulling it together. I will be reaching out… This is a publ...

Welcome to the James Exchange. Yesterday, Sunday February 16, Liz took a drive over to Totier Creek reservoir to check out the action. The water was raging! The James River yesterday at 19 feet. Today I went down by the boat landing. The river was at 21.62 feet at 10:00. For those who don’t know how the river levels are measured, there is a pipe that goes from the concrete structure to the river....

Today Liz took time out from her busy schedule to give a report on Scottsville streets. She did this one after the rain on February 6—one week ago!

The first “OUTDOOR ADVENTURE” will be on Saturday, March 15. You can contact Liz for more inform...
