Have you ever been to a village or town in Virginia that was simply called University? If you’ve ever eaten at a place on the Corner, the answer is yes. Local author and journalist Coy Barefoot interviewed countless people who remember what the five-block stretch of businesses just outside Grounds and produced a book called The Corner: A History of Student Life at the University of Virginia. Barefoot was the featured speaker of the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society’s Last Wednesday Speaker Series on July 27, 2005. The monthly event took place at the Senior Center.
On this week’s edition of WNRN’s Sunday Morning Wakeup Call, Rick Moore speaks with UVa soccer coach George Gelnovatch about how he came to the University as a student, and how Bruce Arena coaxed him into taking over as head coach. Gelnovatch discusses absurd eligibility rules, how soccer has changed in the last two decades, and competing with more popular sports.
Also, on the show, Rick speaks with a local Domino’s Pizza manager about a special event the store is having today (Sunday, July 24) to support a local child in need. The company is donating half of its sales today from its four Charlottesville stores to help pay for the medical bills of Mason, an area boy who is suffering from a rare form of cancer.

You might have thought that scholars knew everything there was to know about Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s famous home. But, after an exhaustive survey conducted in 1997,
archaeologists have identified over twenty previously unrecorded plantation sites. Many of these sites are former slave settlements, and this past June, we spoke with Sara Bon-Harper, Monticello’s Archaeological Research Manager. In this eight minute feature, she explains how these sites were identified and describes what’s being discovered at Site 8, a settlement of slaves active from the 1770s to the 1790s.
This piece was commissioned by Monticello to help inaugurate their podcast site. If you are interested in learning more about how podcasting can help boost the profile of your non-profit, school or institution, please drop us a line at seantubbs (at) gmail.com.

An Interview with Sara Bon-Harper, Monticello’s Archaeological Research Manager
Has America gone too far in asserting its political, military, and cultural might in the world? If so, what does this mean for the way in which we live our lives? That’s the subject of America Unbalanced: An Historical, Ecological, and International Perspective, a panel discussion conducted Saturday, March 19 at the Virginia Festival of the Book.
Held in the Charlottesville City Council chambers, this 77-minute discussion is moderated by Katherine McNamara, the editor of the journal Archipelago. The three panelists are Geoffrey R. Stone (Perilous Times: Free Speech in Wartime from the Sedition Act of 1798 to the War on Terrorism), Hank Shugart (How the Earthquake Bird Got its Name and Other Tales of an Unbalanced Nature) and Tom Miller (Jack Ruby’s Kitchen Sink).
This week on WNRN’s Sunday Morning Wakeup Call, a community roundtable on current events. Yes, it’s the week where host Rick Moore collects area citizens, gathers them around a microphone, and gets their opinion on issues facing Central Virginia. In the studio are Isabel Stanton, a graduate student at UVA and a DJ at WNRN, and Thalia Miller, who says she “plays a lot of golf.” Among the issues discussed: Albemarle County banning panhandling in the medians and intersections, Charlottesville dropping from the #1 place to live to the #90 slot, and local thoughts on the recent terrorist bombings in London.

In her piece, Mason uses movement to depict the many nuances and complexities of the relationship to fully explore the ambiguities of the time. On Monday night at Live Arts, she’ll be showing videos of the performance and discussing the legacy of the Jefferson-Hemings relationship.

 Robert Bruce |
Have you ever had an uncanny experience – the sensation of your hackles going up around a particular person or place, for instance, or an inexplicably vivid dream in which you could see yourself sleeping – that made you wonder if claims about the reality of supernatural forces and out of body experiences have any validity? Robert Bruce doesn’t need to wonder – since the age of 3 his encounters with astral planes and psychic forces have left him with no doubt about the
presence of unseen beings and forces.
An Australian mystic, healer, clairvoyant, and author of several books that are considered classics in the field, including Astral Dynamics, a worldwide bestseller published by Charlottesville’s own Hampton Roads Publishing. Earlier this month, Bruce spoke at Quest Bookshop, and held a five-day workshop on “Energy and Conciousness” at the University of Virginia’s Continuing Education Center. Amy Marshall was there, and spoke with Bruce afterwards.
