It’s too bad because it used to be the best source of information in Vermont. Now it just seems to pander to what must be a small segment of Vermont society. Maybe those are the donors?
One exception I have to mention is Erica Heilman. She does “Rumble Strip” and some reporting. She gets it. She did a series called “What class are you?” Where regular people talked about classism in Vermont. It wasn’t very flattering towards the typical VPR listener. It was the most true grit real programming I’ve heard in years.

I agree. There’s some truth to this. I feel like every story has to contain some sort of social justice component to be allowed to air. I remember recently counting 4 stories about the change in DEI officer in Burlington government! Wtf. VPR is totally out of touch with most Vermonters

Umm… the average low temp for St J. in January is 9 degrees. For the same month in BTV is 11.8
A month below -10 would be among the coldest months in recorded weather history.

It looks pretty green. Maybe it’s just hard to tell from the pic.

I went to the rodeo a few years ago. Thought I’d mistakenly crossed into another dimension. What a trip that scene is!?
