Riverside Outfitters CEO Matt Perry braves the James River to join Andy Thompson for the first-ever episode of the Sharp’s Island podcast! In the cabin studio on an island in downtown Richmond, Va., Matt and Andy discuss what it takes to manage an urban rafting company, Richmond as an outdoors recreation destination, and the marketing peril of poop in the James River. The former co-hosts of the Views from the Treehouse podcast, these two outdoors lovers range far and wide in search of river (and other related) nuggets.

South of Mayo Island and upstream of Mayo Bridge, Sharp’s Island is Richmond’s premiere camping destination (https:airbnb.com/h/sharpsisland)

Andy Thompson is the mad scientist experimenting with the one-acre oasis in the middle of the James River in the heart of downtown RVA. Outdoor recreation? Check. Public art? Yup. Historic ruins? Indeed. Podcast destination? Why not? Sharp’s Island is now host to Richmond’s most surprising conversations. Future guests include artist Ed Trask, NBC12 weather forecaster Andrew Freiden, city council person Sarah Abubaker and Mayor Danny Avula!
