"Destructo Disk, an alternative punk band originally from Winchester, VA, has quickly become a Richmond staple. It’s wild to think they’ve only been tearing it up here for a few years—they’ve covered serious ground in no time. If you haven’t checked them out yet, do yourself a favor. Their live shows are pure energy, and they know how to bring the chaos.
In this episode, we dive into their origins, their journey to Richmond, and—if you stick around long enough—you’ll finally understand what "coagulation" really means. Clair and I swap tour stories, old guard vs. new guard battle tales, and most importantly, we learn what it takes to become a MILKER.
I’ve seen some weird shit on tour, but their story of the infamous blood bed is next level. Absolute bruiser. These kids rule, and this conversation was a blast—made even better by getting to record at The Compound.
Big thanks to Destructo Disk for throwing down and to RVA Mag for always having our back. Cheers, y’all." — host, Harrison Christy

It's Still Our City | Ep. 4 TRAPCRY
"A key figure in Richmond’s ongoing music renaissance, TRAPCRY is absolutely killing it. If you’re not already familiar, it’s time to change that. His music is captivating, fun, and truly unique.
I first saw him perform while working security at one of his shows, and I was completely blindsided—at a loss for words because I couldn’t stop smiling. I was blown away. This man takes the stage with pure confidence (and sometimes, buns out). The beats are infectious, the lyrics cut with seductive precision, and he commands the room effortlessly. Consider me a total fan.
In this episode, we dive into his upbringing, his journey into the arts and music, his love for Richmond, and—of course—our shared appreciation for a glistening Patrick Swayze.
This was such a fun conversation. I thought I was ready for TrapCry, but I was even more stoked to meet the genuine Gene behind it all.
Big thanks to Fuzzy Cactus and crew for providing a safe space to record, and much love to RVA Magazine for always having our back. Hope everyone’s doing well out there. On my way home from work, I saw an SUV bump into a GRTC bus—so please, stay safe. Oh mylanta." — host, Harrison Christy

EXPRESS YO'SELF RVA | Podcast 3 Jonathan Paige Brown Jr.
"How many of us believe we "don’t know how to dance"? I’ve come to realize how absurd that thought is—because if you can move, you can dance. Dance isn’t just about technique or performance; it’s about allowing your body to move in ways that feel good. It’s a birthright, a form of self-expression, and a way to heal.
During my Year of Magical Thinking—or rather Dancing, I confronted my own fears of movement in public, dancing freely atop Chimborazo Park as part of my morning practice. I questioned where our collective fear of dancing stems from—how societal expectations and personal insecurities hold us back. As a Black Queer man, I also reflected on the deeper cultural and generational conditioning that limits emotional expression, particularly for Black men.
That’s why I sat down with Jonathan Paige-Brown Jr.—a Soul & Blues Afro-Americana musician and classically trained ballet dancer—to explore the intersection of dance, masculinity, and healing. We discuss the ways movement helps us process emotions, break free from restrictive norms, and reconnect with ourselves.
Join us for this conversation on the power of dance as self-care, the freedom of movement, and why we all deserve to dance—whether on stage, in a park, or even in the grocery store line.
Stay tuned for my upcoming deep dive into ballet, vampiric lore, and what these art forms reveal about human nature." -- host, Jon Cope
