Scott Finn took over as president of VPR in March, and says the station should stay focused on audio storytelling.

VPR's new president and CEOScott Finn has been traveling to each of Vermont's fourteen counties to hear what Vermonters what from their public radio station. On this Vermont Edition, we take the conversation from the 'Tell Me More Tour' on the air.

We talk with Finn about what kind of news, music and innovation Vermonters say they want from their public radio station. And we'll ask about his strategy for VPR amid accelerating changes in news and media.

Broadcast live on Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2018 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.

Patti is an integral part of VPR's news effort and part of the team that created Vermont Edition. As executive producer, Patti supervises the team that puts Vermont Edition on the air every day, working with producers to select and research show ideas, select guests and develop the sound and tone of the program.
