Thank you to the journalists who create this show. They are warm in their interviews and embrace their eclectic topics. Sabine Poux is a gifted writer. A pleasure to listen to this podcast, with a shared love of our shared State.
It’s a wicked fun way of hearing about Vermont. What I want to know is…Who votes on the questions that the question-askers ask?
As a long term Vermonter, I really love Brave Little State. At the end of each podcast, I’m already looking forward to my next opportunity to learn something new about Vermont. I just wish these episodes came more frequently, although I realize that it takes time to research and produce each one and that shortcutting the process would undercut the quality. KUDOS to Vermont Public for creating a fascinating window into our Brave Little State!
What a treat this podcast is. It’s just what I need to get my Vermont fix after moving 8 years ago. Thanks for this beautiful work of art!
I live a few miles outside of Vermont. Each topic on this show captures my interest. The investigations are presented with plain spoken unpretentiousness. And a bit of wry amusement as befits the people of the Green Mountain State. Well done. I don’t plan to miss any of the episodes.
Thank you for this show. It was informative and delicately handled. I enjoyed learning about why the Amish find Vermont to their liking and Elodie’s spiritual journey.
Show has interesting topics but always covers them from the far left perspective and constantly looks for “victimhood” where none exists. Recent show on school funding was typical- let’s pick convenient to the narrative numbers then plug them in to create false victimhood and disparity. The notion that property taxes aren’t fair for someone bringing home 150K a year, or that a couple earning 130K a year are somehow victims and are seen as property tax “working poor” is the new Vermont left at it’s worst. The notion that the 1% should fund the 2% is laugh out loud tone deafness!
I found this episode fluffy. Too much lightheartedness topped off with it was a blessing? Did not like at all.
My husband and I were on our way back from our second trip to VT (from Pittsburgh, PA) so we had about a 10.5 hour drive. We have been considering moving to VT since we step foot in Stowe in 2020! On a whim, when the podcast we were listing to finished, I told him i’d find another. Joking typing “what do I need to know about moving to VT” and wouldn’t you know it, that exact title came up. This episode was great! Full of great tid-bits but I love the openness of the answers as well! We just posted on their IG page our own question!! Hope to hear a new one soon!!
Such a cool way to think about journalism…and the stories are terrific and so fun and well reported. Another reason to love Vermont
