Have you listened to “Brave Little State,” VPR’s newest monthly podcast?

If not, you should.

Hosted with understated and insightful aplomb by audio curator Angela Evancie,  BLS tackle a wide range of listener-generated questions, including “Who can pull off the legislator lifestyle?”; “Why is Vermont so white?”; “What’s up with all those old barns around the state?”; and “Why did so many Vermonters vote for Donald Trump?”

And guess what?

The next potential monthly question polling with the most votes right now is near and dear to our heart:

“What would it look like if Vermont could actually secede from the Union?”

You can VOTE to ask BLS to explore this question right here.

Do it, and free Vermont!
