Vermont Edition
Noon to 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Rebroadcast at 7 p.m.

Hosted by Mikaela Lefrak, Vermont Edition convenes conversations and shares stories about the communities in our region. Whether you’re a local leader, a lifelong Vermonter or a brand new listener, this is your show.

Here's what we're discussing this week.

  • Monday, March 18: Friday, March 15, is Crossover Day, the midway point of the Vermont legislative session when bills must pass from one chamber to the other to have a chance at becoming law. House Speaker Jill Krowinski and three reporters who have been closely following legislation will give us the scoop on how this session is shaping up so far.

  • Tuesday, March 19: Maple tree sap running early, no snow on the ground, bears waking up from hibernation weeks ahead of time— this mild and erratic winter has left many Vermonters feeling a little off. The Vermont state climatologist and an environmental writer and professor will weigh in with their thoughts on the future of Vermont winters, the emotional toll of climate change and how Vermonters can cope witnessing environmental change.
  • Wednesday, March 20: For many young people, April is college-decision season. But for many others, it's a time to explore other options, including a possible "gap year." We'll explore the many paths this can take with Julia Rogers of EnRoute Consulting, and hear from one person in the midst of a gap year. Plus, an update on this year's federal student aid delays from the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC).
  • Thursday, March 21: It's a trio of arts-centric interviews! We'll hear from a filmmaker in the Northeast Kingdom about her new documentary on housing and food insecurity that will be screened around the state, and a New England author about her nonfiction book on the cultural history of ice in the United States. Plus, an astrophysicist and a writer will tell us about an upcoming science-meets-art eclipse collaboration at the Highland Center for the Arts.
