  • An interesting listen

    I’m from New England and love visiting Vermont. The hosts are always polite even when callers are a little blunt. Although the callers tend to be very nice! You can learn a lot from this show regardless of where you live.

  • Unprofessional

    You don’t seem to have an editor. You leave in irrelevant calls, and the resulting fluster that it causes the hosts. Mikaela stutters and stammers and she sounds perpetually stuffed up. “Verbont” I can’t stand it. The guests are good, and the topics are interesting. Please make it sound more professional and smoother

  • Love the show but…..

    I love the show but some of the programs are just boring and useless.

    I love Jane Lindholm and miss her very much, the new hosts voices are super annoying.

    I love when brave little state does it because they are clear and factual.

Vermont Edition's annual fall gardening show with Charlie Nardozzi
Q: How should I mulch my vegetable garden with cedar chips or raw wool?
Use raw wool for its pest deterrent properties, but mulch with organic materials that break down quickly for vegetable gardens, not cedar chips.

You can cut it back or transplant it, ideally in early spring when it's just starting to show life.

Q: What was it like to be wearing the hats of caregiver and filmmaker at the same time? Did you find yourself having to put one down so you could pick another one up?
It's kind of a melange. I call my production company Three Shepo Productions because I'm always wearing three different hats, I feel, at the same time.
