Welcome to The BobCast MOV
With Rick and Bob
The Heartbeat of the Mid-Ohio Valley
Based out of Wood County, West Virginia, our podcast is all about the issues that affect Parkersburg and the Mid-Ohio Valley area. There is a lot going on in our community that most of our residents are unaware of, and we hope to generate in others as much pride in our community as we feel.
Wood and Washington Counties have a lot of really remarkable history, as they were the gateway to the Northwest Territory. Many of our first settlers migrated down the Ohio River from Fort Pitt in Pennsylvania and then moved up the Little Kanawha River into the heart of what would one day become Wood County or westward from Marietta up the Muskingum River into the Northwest Territory. When West Virginia left Virginia in 1863 to become a free state, our first Governor, Arthur I. Boreman, was from Parkersburg, and the first free Black school south of the Mason/Dixon line (Sumner School) was in Parkersburg.
Be sure to watch or listen and message us to interact with the hosts and guests as we discuss some little-known history about our area and some of the issues that directly affect us now.
Let’s put our heads together and work to make a great community even greater!
