A former derby girl (Thistle Hurt) she now spends most of her time geeking out the next generation (her daughter MJ) or snuggled up with a book. Flynnstress also loves to travel, watches too much TV, admits to being addicted to Facebook, and is trying to save the earth, one recycled bottle of Coke at a time.

Chad Ownby

February 27, 2025 / ravenchair

Chad Ownby is a theatre teacher, film scholar, and podcaster from Richmond, VA. Chad has dedicated his life to educational theatre for the last fifteen years, directing numerous shows for children across all age groups. For his work in the field of educational theatre arts, he recently was the Richmond City Public Schools finalist for the Richmond Performing Arts Alliance “Nurture” Award, celebrating creating a safe, learning environment. He was also voted 2024-2025 Teacher of the Year at his middle school by his peers. In 2020, Ownby decided while he loves educational theatre, something was missing. He thought about how much he loved cinema and breaking down and dissecting different movies across genre’s and eras. He eventually found out there is actually a degree for that and enrolled in the film studies program at Tiffin University, where he graduated suma cum laude in 2024. Since then, Ownby has found a love for podcasting: Hosting and producing multiple shows including: Let’s Talk Wrestling and Let’s Talk Movies where he and his hosts break down pro-wrestling and movies from multiple perspectives.
