  • Extraordinary

    This is one of the most extraordinary podcasts out there. Erica and her guest interviewees capture Vermont and its citizenry so perfectly in its (and their) uniqueness. Beyond the uniqueness that is very Vermont, there is a common humanity on display that’s there in us no matter where we live. Such depth and humor and glorious ordinariness.

    Entire show is just about one sided extreme left wing stuff- nothing to do with Traditional Vermonters at all!
