Craig Belcher is the Arts and Entertainment Editor at Richmond Magazine. But as he tells Colin, he’s been writing and working as a journalist for a long time. A native of the Richmond area, he has seen many changes happen in the print industry over the past few decades.

Craig also knows a lot about music. He worked for more than a decade as a writer, producer, and host of his own television show, where he interviewed such classic hip hop artists as Chuck D, M.C. Serch, and De La Soul. He also talks about his recent articles on Sister Rosetta Tharpe and the need for a Virginia Music Hall of Fame. It’s a conversation that covers everything from Q-Tip to Link Wray and GWAR, with some good advice on the writing life thrown in.
