Our Listening in Place initiative is a participatory interviewing and sound recording project offering a way to connect and document the experiences of Vermonters during the COVID-19 emergency. This month’s episode touches on two themes that have consistently emerged through Listening in Place: resilience and human connections. Less of a “meet cute,” this year’s February episode of VT Untapped explores Covid as a catalyst for strengthening an existing relationship--a story about love across distance and across borders.

VT Untapped kicks off Season 2 with another round of “meet-cutes.” Adorable and surprising stories from Vermonters about meeting their sweeties. It’s 2020 after all so some meet online, some owe it to the Seven Days personals and thank goodness, some still meet in a good, old fashioned, hipster coffee shop. Hear them all in this month’s episode of VT Untapped.

The “meet-cute” is as old as love itself. This term refers to the conditions under which two potential partners meet. Your true love could be on the other side of the desk at a job interview, at the end of a scavenger hunt, or the last one out of the clown car. Yes, these are all true stories. Hear them in this month’s episode of VT Untapped.
