Not in the singsong since, but with a singsong crew, Richard and Jeremy interview senior vocal performance major Vanessa Naghdi about graduating in the leading role of one of this semesters operas and her favorite dessert. There is news, and Cory joins to give an oral review of TheatreVCU’s “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.”

Not a new thing, but certainly an occurrence, The Mainstream welcomes newly-accepted photography major, Amber-Lynn Taber, and sophomore graphic design major. Kassy Edwards to talk about getting your departmental acceptance letter, arts news, and the G40 exhibits here for the month. Don’t let this show pass you by.

The news for session 209

Apr 03 2012no

This week Richard interviews cast members of TheatreVCU’s “25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”, Maggie Horan and Maxwell Moore, about the show, rehearsals, all that jazz. The news came afterward. There’s a surprise inside !!

Apr 03 2012no

There’s a reason Cory left the air, and this is the perfect example of why. A jagged jaunt through the arts news of the week and then an interview with theatre, cinema, and international studies triple major, Sydney Ballesteros. The team discusses inspiration, Sydney’s two productions, and how someone can have three majors! Tune in = )

Mar 27 2012no

You ever have that moment where you expect one thing but then something completely different happens. That is this show. Joined by the co-creator of the French Film Festival, Dr. Peter Kirkpatrick, the interview comes first, as he and Richard discuss this years festival and the importance is carries (for both RVA and the festival itself). News comes afterwards. Tune in!

Mar 20 2012no

Traffic is a technical difficulty right ? Either way, the show started late because of one and the guest for the week cancel minutes before 7pm, so this show is an intimate exploration into the atmosphere of a radio station when former host/ current producer and new host clash! It’s a blood bath with arts news! (Have you heard it, yet ?)

Mar 6 2012no

Due to technical difficult this episode starts in media res. Richard joins forces with some of the comedians of the Stand Up Comedy at VCU performance last weekend, and they discuss comedy, acting, theatre, and the Oscars. Even producer Cory Johnson joins in to give an opinion at the end of the show. It’s going to be a cakewalk.

Feb 28 2012no

Still in the search for a new host, a new new host has appeared. Richard DiCicco is an art history student and this is his first talk show~! Listen as he lays down the arts knowledge for this week. Joined by Kinetic Imaging major Evelyn Fisher, they discuss himself, herself and the James River Film Makers Forum. Tune in!

Feb 21 2012no

New host, Joe Freeman’s, second interview, and with some frequenters of the Mainstream, TheatreVCU. Part of The Elephant Man cast drops by the to talk about the show, rehearsals, and the merriment of being an actor. Post-host, now-producer Cory Alexander drops in to ask some questions and act sheepish. Listen in ya’ll, it’s gon be good!

Feb 8 2012no

Hooray for first interviews! New host, Joe Freeman, takes the wheel as interviewer now that the show is sans the old gang. But he has help! Members of the dance department’s student concert, “Divergence”, come by to answer the hard questions about the show and being a dance major. Clap your hands, say Yeah~! for the new interviewing interviewer.

Feb 1 2012no

Woo, Alright! New semester, New host, and new Mainstream !!

Jan 25 2012no

A lost episode. Cory’s last jaunt at host and a terrible interview.

Dec 08 2011no

Lacking the pensive drawl of the punster, the line up is OG as the boys of the banner talk to sophomore vocal performance major Colby Mullen about the goings-ons of the vocal department as it prepares to present its fall Opera Scenes. Charlie Resnick doubles as Guest number 2, talking about his role in this week’s SALT production, Elephant’s Graveyard. Praise, Glorification, Accolades; my mic skills are perfection. Enjoy.

Nov 17 2011no

The heart beats slower as the general thumpa-thumpa cadence of the show matches the intensity of its guest. The boys are back in town, though I think they never left, and ramble, ramble, ramble while trying to interview guest cinema major Shane about the profession, the major, the life, the times and the showcase at the end of the week.

Nov 10 2011no

A bit the odder; sports. Quidditch is the times, the motion, the catalyst that keeps this episodes energy of activation so low. Emily and Troy grace the mic with their literature-based, full-contact sports jargon; Charlie has too much work to do; and I’m slightly spaced. To live in 4 dimensions is a steep task, it’s a good thing this show only occupies 1.

Nov 03 2011no

Back from the break– once juvenated before, now juvenated again– we find our heroes joined by chance and fate this week. The guest, Cat Wheelehan, comes 2 steps ahead, sending the boys 1 step back and at the crux of their encounter they discuss theatre. It’s fast time with “Grease”‘s Sandra D. on WVCW.

Oct 18 2011no

Technical difficulties and an absent mind has led this episode to be guestless and impulsive. Hear the carnage that is an hour of Cory Alexander and Joshua Lee: a symphony of thought, an exploration of event, and the rambling rambling wailing sounds of two men on the brink of extinction. Enjoy !

Oct 11 2011no

Back again for the next time, Cory Alexander, Charlie Resinck and Josh Lee come at you all together for the first time in a few weeks– and this time they have friends ! Sax Man John Barker and Piano Playa Nick Berkin drop by to discuss what’s up with Jazz,”Shakespeare’s R&J” and the Josh’s goings-ons.

Oct 04 2011no

Prerecorded and finely edited, Most of the cast of the male production of “Shakespeare’s R&J” are in the studio to help shed some light on the new Mainstage production, and have some laughs too, as they are skewered by Cory– who is not a fan of the source material– and Josh– who provides the puns. Here is then arts news for that day.

Sep 29 2011no

It’s Thursday, the best day, and the boys are back to tackle to issues of modern society: long weeks, fine arts student media organizations and dance!– as they are joined in the studio by the lovely, bubbly Molly Rae Pearl, dance major friend and costumer to VCU Dance’s presentation of Ballet Hispanico.

Sep 22 2011no

Solo dolo this time, Cory Alexander is with new intro this week (Toxic by Mark Ronson). The topic for today is cartoons, as our host goes on a 1 hour rant about the differences between “Adventure Time” and “Regular Show.” An extension of a summer session: “can’t breathe through my nose,” “if you take something to be mundane, make it amazing,” “I miss my baby.”

Sep 15 2011no

Joining now in the Fall semester of 2011, the lovely new co-host Joshua Norton Lee is in the studio in stead of Charlie Resnick as they go through the arts of VCU for the second time. The boys talk the talk, joke the joke, and introduce a filler section called “What We Watch in World Cinema!”

Sep 08 2011no

Classes have started, what joy ! This session is the beginning of something grand: a great academic year, work year, and radio year with the lovely Charlie Resnick and new co-host, Joshua Norton Lee. Tune in as we discuss the current theatre season and give Josh a good poke to the gulliver.

Sep 01 2011no

I have a problem with award shows. This may sound unusual, but it's the topic of this Summer Mainstream session. Cory rambles for an hour about the MTV Movie Awards, the Oscars, and the whole award show dealio in general. Bring your scream repellent cause it's gonna get hoarse. (Also, we explore movie music.)

Jun 06 2011no

False promises and a single man are what’s in store during this summer session of your favorite arts show on WVCW. Cory, alone this session, discusses his growing love for humor: touching on Richmond’s comedy scene and the different types of comedy there are. Tune in and get schooled on the art of the funny.

May 23 2011no

Last session of the season and it couldn’t have been more heartful. Charlie is here, along with guest Molly Pearl and Kassy Edwards, to talk about surviving their first year at VCUarts. All four corners of the arts world are represented, and nothing is spared as the four breathe a sigh of relief at the end of an age.

May 5 2011no

It’s been a long week, so Charlie is taking the night off and Cory is manning the show by himself. But he is not too alone, Tim Suddeth, host of G33k 5peak, and Fionnuala Bradley have come to watch him flounder around the studio for an hour. The trio cover film, photo, employment, and board games, so tune and learn a little.

Apr 28 2011no

One of our best podcast yet, Charlie conducted this session of the Mainstream. Charlie has brought in guest Caroline Miller and friend to talk about the Film program, Disney Pixar, and the endless opportunities of the arts major. Also, we listen to some Pogo music.

Apr 21 2011no

What is a department without it’s people ? I wouldn’t know, but today is Theatre Day! Charlie and Cory are joined by Benjamin Burke, freshman Scene Design major, and Trista Dandrea, senior Theatre Performance major and Co-host of theBreakdown, in this episode all about a department of people– if that’s what a department can be.

Apr 14 2011no

A marvel among radio shows and a feat un-exaggerated, this episode of The Mainstream is the most non-directional yet. Cory and Charlie are joined by Henry Jensen, Patrick Clark, and clothing designer Andrew Wolfe and talk about everything. Wookies, “True Grit”, ice cream, and networking. Tune in (or don’t) for this most eclectic session of VCUarts news to date ?

Apr 07 2011no

Charlie is back, and turning 20! Join the devilishly handsome Mr. Resnick and I as we are joined by special guests, Jon Dombroski and Josh Bennett (both senior art majors). We talk about salt, SALT, and NOT marble, eventually reaching a very deep discussion about John and Josh’s exhibit on April 8th, “The Vacancy Project.” Listen in for razor wit and to learn about the art of iron melting.

Mar 31 2011no

This is a short one, but still packed with everything you love– except Charlie. Host Cory Alexander flies solo for the first 15 minutes but is joined after the break by the lovely and talented Gianna Barone and Jessica Harika. They discuss VCUmusic’s upcoming production of “Hansel and Gretel” as part of Opera Theatre and being music majors (as they are the first to come on the show), as I complement them profusely. It’s a good’un, so take listen.

Mar 24 2011no

Hopefully aired over Spring Break, broadcast 3 of The Mainstream stars myself, sans co-host, and special guest Phillip Nesmith in my first radio interview! We have fun as Phil and I discuss his work in Iraq, his photo development process, and how he has work showing in Dubai! No music, but a good show for art majors of any media. Check it out.

Mar 17 2011no

A brilliant display of my sound board control, the second broadcast of the Mainstream is a triumph. With Special Guest Cassie Mulheron and Brianna Gribben, we discuss G-Sex, The Women’s Spring Art Show, and listen to female Jazz and Soul greats. GO SEE THE ART SHOW, still up in the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies building (915 W. Franklin St).

Mar 10 2011no

This is the first live broadcast of the Mainstream! My devilishly handsome co-host, Charlie Resnick, and I introduce the show and ourselves, talk about the SALT production of Henry V, the Oscars, and sip the “Proverbial Tea.” Listen up all of you who missed it!
