Making It

The “maker movement” is taking hold in Vermont. That's a somewhat odd name that captures technology, design, innovation and a strong DIY spirit. On the next Vermont Edition, we talk about how communities of “makers” are using high-tech tools to solve problems, create art and start a conversation about technology in our lives. Our guests are Jenn Karson of Vermont Makers and Doug Webster of the Champlain Mini-Maker Faire.

Also in the program, state Representative Sarah Buxton from Tunbridge. In the days after the death of Vermont Law School professor Cheryl Hanna by suicide, Buxton has begun raising awareness of the depression that Hanna suffered from by discussing her own experience with the illness.

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.
Jane Lindholm is the host, executive producer and creator of But Why: A Podcast For Curious Kids. In addition to her work on our international kids show, she produces special projects for Vermont Public.
