We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?

Mason A. Hodges was taken into custody by the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office on July 1, 2025, and is being held at the county’s adult detention center. He awaits transport to Loudoun County, where he will face an Aggravated Malicious Wounding charge related to the May 17 incident in the 500 block of East Market Street. A bond hearing is scheduled for July 7.
The case stems from a 2:18 a.m. response by Leesburg Police to reports of a large fight in a parking lot. Officers found an adult male unconscious with significant trauma. The victim was hospitalized and later released. After reviewing the evidence, authorities have identified a second person at the scene, but no charges will be filed against that individual.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
