À propos de ce contenu audio

Rooted in Revolution: Heroes of Central Virginia is a limited historical podcast series honoring America’s 250th anniversary by telling the stories of Central Virginia’s heroes — the famous, the forgotten, and the faithful.

Written and produced by Samantha Griffin, this solo-narrated series explores real people connected to Lynchburg and the surrounding region whose lives quietly shaped a nation. From enslaved women who stitched their way to freedom, to Revolutionary families who bore the cost of independence close to home, to faith leaders and thinkers who carried communities through uncertain times — these are the stories history textbooks often leave behind.

Each episode brings listeners into the lived experience of the past, grounding national history in local places, personal choices, and enduring legacy.

Because in Virginia, history isn’t just remembered.

It’s rooted — and still speaking.

    • Murder on the James
      Jan 9 2026

      Murder on the James is a cinematic, historically grounded true-crime episode that explores a violent death along Virginia’s most important Revolutionary-era waterway. Set against the backdrop of plantations, river commerce, and early American courts, the episode examines how justice operated when the law was young, evidence was fragile, and power shaped outcomes.

      Inspired by real locations, period court practices, and documented social conditions, this episode blends careful research with restrained dramatization to illuminate how crime—and accountability—functioned in Revolutionary Virginia.

      Historical Disclaimer (included in episode):

      This episode is a historically grounded reconstruction inspired by real events, locations, and court practices of Revolutionary-era Virginia. Some characters and details have been dramatized where records are incomplete.
