Create Virginia is a bi-weekly show focused on people making things happen in Central Virginia. The show is hosted by local software developer Chris Allport, but this is not a software development show. We seek out leaders in startups, businesses, technology, and artists among others. Chris goes to where the guests work to give insight into what makes them tick and how they go from idea to action.
