  • 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.

Reporter roundtable: Vt. legislature's 'crossover day'

Crossover day marks a halfway point when bills must pass out of committee of jurisdiction to remain viable, creating urgency for decision-making and potential movement to the other chamber.
Debating the future of nuclear energy in Vermont
Q: What are the cost implications for ratepayers if nuclear is brought back or expanded in Vermont?
The main provision would reduce the Renewable Energy Certificate requirement, saving roughly 4.5 to 5 million dollars annually, which could support energy efficiency measures like weatherization and help moderate projected rate increases.
Debating the future of nuclear energy in Vermont
Q: Could you summarize how H601 would change the state's approach to nuclear power?
H601 would remove the legislature from the initial decision-making process for approving new nuclear generation, moving toward regulatory-driven assessment with ongoing public input, while still requiring accountability and potential legislative action later.

A professional taste tester tells all
Q: Roy, how do you approach a new product like Flint corn or bread to ensure your panel can describe it objectively?
