This podcast deals with all things broken-yet-fixable in Vermont! We discuss policies and resources relating to agriculture, the environment, housing, transportation, food, and the local economy. Guests will include Vermont community members, farmers, law makers, educators, and business owners. On each podcast we will deep dive on a topic of interest, share relevant resources relating to funding and public participation opportunities, share little known facts about weird laws in Vermont, and discuss ideas on how to fix the broken-things!
