This week on Renoites we are talking podcasting! Reno has a variety of local podcasts of different formats and covering different issues. About a year ago I was grateful to be invited to appear on Up in the Mix, a podcast and radio show hosted by Shaughn Richardson and Cesar Lopez. Up in the Mix is a hip hop inspired music, news and interview show that beginning it's 5th season and has released hundreds of episodes. It was great to have Shaughn and Cesar join me on Renoites to discuss the history of their podcast, what they think about when looking for guests, what's missing from the local podcast community, creating both a podcast and radio show for KWNK at the same time, as well as their lives outside the podcast. Shaughn is a high school teacher with the Washoe County School District and on the Reno Arts and Culture Commission and Cesar is a local photographer. Renoites is a listener-funded project. I'm a believer in audience supported over advertiser-driven media, and you can help Renoites continue to grow and provide stories and information by becoming an official patron of the show. Just go to patreon.com/renoites to learn more and sign up for as little as a few dollars a month (that's about a dollar an episode). There are also great perks available to patrons like early or exclusive content, Renoites swag, shout-outs on the show, and more. If you have any guest or topic suggestions, please shoot me an email at conor@renoites.com. This season of Renoites is produced by Conor McQuivey and Lynn Lazaro. Thank you for listening!

Let it further be resolved that the city of Grand Rapids shall continue its efforts to promote the well-being, and growth of the native American and Indigenous communities and be it further resolved that the city of Grand Rapids encourages other businesses, organizations, and public entities to recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day,” said Connely, “This was adopted on the 15th day of December 2014.”L: Since 2014, Grand Rapids, Minneapolis, St. Paul and other Minnesota cities have adopted Indigenous Peoples' Day. The holiday began as a counter-celebration against the federal holiday that shares the same day.In Grand Rapids, the new stone sculpture is the likeness of a woman, with arms outstretched into a cradle allowing water to gather in her arms. She looks over the Mississippi River on a pedestal engraved with fish. The sculpture is named Oganawedan Nibi – a gift from Duane to the city of grand rapids, a blessing for the spirits of/in the water, and a symbol of the resiliency of the Anishinaabe people.“She's blessing water spirits, spirits in the water. The fish represents the life that flows through this river, and the sculpture shall live in symbol of the strength of the Anishinabe people.” said Duane, “It was a blessing to work so close to the river this summer. Every day it was a beautiful spot to work”Other events included the Owamni Falling Waters Festiva, on Saturday, at Owamni along The Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis where Indigenous artists, organizations and community gathered to celebrate.

Eric Henry Andersen is one of the most active, hardworking musicians in Reno. You may know him from the popular local band The Novelists, last year's Artown music video "Heartbeat to Heartbeat, Eye to Eye (From Reno with Love)" or from his work as a solo artist playing shows both on tour and here in town. He's also a recent appointee to the Reno Arts and Culture Commission.  On this week's episode, Eric and Conor talk about what led Eric to a career as a musician, finding the balance between improving instrument skills and writing new music, working collaboratively with a band vs. working more independently, creating the Heartbeat to Heartbeat music video during a pandemic, monetizing creative work through Patreon or other patron-supported models, Burning Man's influence on Reno's arts culture,  Reno music venues and what's missing from that landscape, and so much more! You can find Eric's music and upcoming appearances on his website at http://erichenryandersen.com and check him out on music streaming services.  Thanks for listening!

We had so much fun talking with these two. We welcomed the wonderful Amy Crell and Marissa Deckert. Amy Crell is on the Community Engagement Team with the City of Fishers. As a Community Engagement Team member, Amy recruits, coordinates and manages volunteers for City events. In addition, Amy is the City’s point of contact for nonprofit organizations that serve our community as well as the faith community in Fishers. Marissa Deckert is the Assistant Director for the Fishers Parks Department and oversees programming, events and 24 park locations. She also sits on the Fishers Arts & Culture Commission and Fishers Advisory Committee on Disability. We were just blown away with the work these two women are doing, and the backing they get from the city of Fishers to make it happen.

My next guest is not only one of the most talented musicians of his generation, but one of the most thoughtful people I know when it comes to defining and re-defining the role that artists can and should play in shaping the conversation about society in good times and in bad times. Darin Atwater is a gifted composer, conductor, pianist and producer who has worked in film, recording, radio and television. 20 years ago, he founded the Soulful Symphony, an orchestra with vocals that is made up primarily of African American and Latinx musicians. The ensemble is the first symphony in residence at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia. Darin Atwater also serves as the Artistic Director of the Downtown Columbia Arts and Culture Commission.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 75 °F, and highs again are, like, way, way high. Expect highs in the 90s and plenty of humidity to go along with it. There’s a chance of rain throughout the day, so keep an eye out.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 439 new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth and 18 new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 88 new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 53, Henrico: 16, and Richmond: 19). Since this pandemic began, 199 people have died in the Richmond region. This is the fewest number of new cases reported in a single day since way back in April and caps off three days of significant decline. However! I missed this story by the Richmond Times-Dispatch’s Mel Leonor a couple of days ago that said VDH has “a running backlog of 13,000 COVID-19 test results that have not been reported to the public” and the agency will also “add a different set of 13,000 backlogged tests to the public dashboard…which could appear to skew the data.” Officials also said that the backlog contains mostly negative test results, so any skew would push the percent positivity down (just increasing the denominator). I guess this answers some of the questions I had earlier this week about the apparent regression in number of tests being reported across the Commonwealth. As we seriously move into Phase 2, keep an eye on the data—we don’t want Virginia’s coronavirus graphs to start looking like Arizona’s or Texas’s (over 2,000 new cases per day). Wear your masks! Keep your distance!Last night, the Jefferson Davis statue on Monument Avenue came a-tumbling down, and I don’t know what to say about it other than that it feels weird not to have a ton to say. Random Twitter accounts report that, rather than the large peaceful crowds we’ve seen over the last couple of weeks, Davis was torn off his pedestal by a “small sedan” which then, I guess, sped off into the night. Here’s a video of the statue heading to its new resting place in a parking lot somewhere on a flatbed truck as a small crowd celebrates. Yesterday, when we were all focused on the Christopher Columbus statue, the Mayor tweeted his concerns about protestors removing monuments on their own, outside of an established process, saying “The atrocities inflicted upon indigenous people by Christopher Columbus are unconscionable. That’s why the city began observing Indigenous Peoples’ Day, not Columbus Day, in 2019. But the decision & action to remove a monument should be made in collaboration w/ the community. Working with Richmond’s History and Culture Commission, we are establishing a process by which Richmonders can advocate for change to the figures we place on public pedestals across our city in a legal and peaceful way.” First, “but they have a day” isn’t the best way to start out this particular response. Second, I didn’t see any similar concerns when people brought down the Wickham statue in Monroe Park. Third, I’d love to know more about what the History and Culture Commission has been up to since Council passed the enabling legislation back in November of 2018 (ORD. 2018–269). Surely they’ve been working on the process for removing monuments at least since the General Assembly granted localities the authority to do so earlier this year? And surely that process will focus on equity and inoculate itself against loud, racist NIMBYs who constantly overwhelm a significant percentage of our public discussions? Regardless, I agree with @jeffrock, who said “[City of Richmond,] I know you want to fill out forms in triplicate, but you’re out of time. You can’t wait to vote on this. Take these monuments down safely before someone gets hurt.” He’s right, and, in fact, someone was injured in Portsmouth yesterday as folks got to work taking down one of their Confederate monuments. I think you could make the argument that in this current moment, the Confederate monuments are a public safety hazard and the smaller ones that can be removed should be removed as soon as possible. We can store them in a Raiders of the Lost Ark-style warehouse until the History and Culture Commissions figures out whatever process they want, but, until then, box 'em up before people get hurt.Ali Rockett and C. Suarez Rojas at the RTD look at how the region can move forward with meaningful police reform. In Richmond, folks are dialed in to two policies that I’ve written about before (and organizers have been working toward for years): the Marcus Alert and a community review board. The former seems like something that that the Mayor or Council can implement fairly quickly. The latter will need both extensive community engagement and changes to state law. Let’s do both of those things, but let’s not stop there. There’s a real opportunity for Richmond to dramatically rethink its public safety systems and reallocate our budget accordingly. Councilmember Lynch puts it well (Facebook): “‘Defunding the Police’ does not mean abolishing the police department. Instead it means supporting a change in the way we spend resources to deal with the deep and longstanding disparities that exist in our public safety and criminal justice institutions.” That, of course, will also require extensive community engagement, and we should kick that process off as soon as possible—probably beginning with Councilmember Jones’s suggested deep dive into the RPD’s budget.The Richmond 300 virtual summits continue, and tonight’s (6:00 PM, sign up on the Eventbrite) focuses on a place rather than topic: Greater Scott’s Addition! Check out that specific section of the Richmond 300 draft plan here beforehand (PDF) so you can ask smart questions and impress your neighbors. Also, the presentations and videos from the previous summits are making their way onto the Richmond 300 website for those of us that missed the last couple of events.Assuming nothing shocking/incredible/horrible happens in the next 24 hours, I’m taking a much needed day off tomorrow. It’s been a wild couple of weeks and my brain feels a little congealed and a little scrambled—like an egg aspic. I do want to say thank you to everyone that’s joined the Good Morning, RVA patreon over the last three months. So much has happened since March 13th, and I’ve tried my best to put together a fair and coherent narrative of what’s going on in Richmond. I’m incredibly grateful for y’all supporting that work with your hard-earned money—during a pandemic even!This morning’s longreadWhen SimCity got serious: the story of Maxis Business Simulations and SimRefineryWhat a weird, quirky story about the time the makers of SimCity created a whole division to make “business simulations.”Maxis didn’t want to make professional simulation games. But for two brief, strange years, they did. From 1992 to 1994, a division called Maxis Business Simulations was responsible for making serious professional simulations that looked and played like Maxis games. After Maxis cut the division loose, the company continued to operate independently, taking the simulation game genre in their own direction. Their games found their way into in corporate training rooms and even went as far as the White House. Almost nothing they developed was ever released to the public. But their software raises questions about the role we want games to play in society.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

In Richmond, Virginia, you encounter monuments, old and new – on Monument Avenue one-hundred-year-old Confederate generals stand alongside, since 1996, a statue honoring African American Tennis icon Arthur Ashe. Nearby, Kehinde Wiley’s new statue, Rumours of War, sits outside the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, a new permanent sculpture moved there following its premiere in New York’s Times Square last year. But the makeup of Monument Avenue may soon change. Just in the last few days, and after years of activism and organizing across the state, Governor Ralph Northam signed a Confederate Monuments Bill. Starting in summer 2020, local municipalities in Virginia can remove, relocate or contextualize monuments as they see fit.Last year, in anticipation of the shifts at the state level, Richmond’s Mayor Levar Stoney convened a History and Culture Commission. Its chair, Free Egunfemi Bangura, our guest today, is a tactical urbanist who founded Untold RVA. She pursues ways to memorialize beyond bronze and marble. Bangura illuminates the connections between language and power.“I promised myself I would always become a historian. And so I just feel like that was the earliest part of when I saw that history was going to be controlled by the dominant narrative, and that the dominant narrative was going to do nothing to try to make sure that people had a balanced understanding of their own history, and that you weren't going to learn anything about Richmond or the struggles of Richmond,” says Bangura.This episode, we speak to Bangura about her work in “Commemorative Justice,” a term she coined. She also breaks down her projects that have left an imprint on Richmond, and how traveling outside of the country has shifted her thinking on her homegrown projects.Bangura is a Soros Justice Fellow, a bureau chief at the United States Department of Arts and Culture, and 2019 Monument Lab Fellow. We collaborate together, including on an upcoming project called Shaping the Past, a partnership with the Goethe Institute and German Federal Agency for Civic Education.
