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. We’ll be sharing audio recordings generated by the project in our podcast feed. This month we visit Camp Killooleet in Hancock, VT, closed this summer for the first time in 93 years.

A guy walks into a bar and…starts singing? If that bar is Brattleboro’s McNeill’s Brewery and it’s the third Saturday of the month between 3-5 pm then the chances of this happening are pretty high. That’s when the Brattleboro Pub Sing meets. And in this episode of VT Untapped you get to come along.

This month’s episode explores the persistence of Franco-American culture in Vermont through the life and work of the late Martha Pellerin. Learn about Martha and her work to promote, validate and share the contributions made by Vermonters of French Canadian descent to the culture of contemporary Vermont.
