  • An interesting listen

    I’m from New England and love visiting Vermont. The hosts are always polite even when callers are a little blunt. Although the callers tend to be very nice! You can learn a lot from this show regardless of where you live.

    One suggestion I have is that while each episode says it’s been edited for clarity and brevity, it feels like some content could be cut such as calls from people who can’t hear the hosts or vice versa. The hosts having to cut off callers who go on for too long is a little awk... more

  • Unprofessional

    You don’t seem to have an editor. You leave in irrelevant calls, and the resulting fluster that it causes the hosts. Mikaela stutters and stammers and she sounds perpetually stuffed up. “Verbont” I can’t stand it. The guests are good, and the topics are interesting. Please make it sound more professional and smoother

  • Love the show but…..

    I love the show but some of the programs are just boring and useless.

    I love Jane Lindholm and miss her very much, the new hosts voices are super annoying.

    I love when brave little state does it because they are clear and factual.

    Aren’t some of the Nuremberg codes “The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury” and “Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death“? How is giving a vaccine at an inn, Jazzfest or speedway conducting the (emergency authorized) vaccination as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental injury? How is administ... more

Doing business in Vermont
Q: What do we do with this information? What's next for Vermont businesses?
We need to figure out how do we keep more of them if we're not doing a good job with that, and how do we add to that.
Doing business in Vermont
Q: What keeps you coming back, staying in this business?
The community is what does that. You know, and it's for sure the feeling that you get when people love your food.
Doing business in Vermont
Q: Andrew, what was that process like of switching from running a food trailer to a brick and mortar restaurant?
When we opened, it was very stressful, way more stressful than I've been in this game since I was 15, and I'm 45, and been in 14 different states running very, very well-to-do restaurants.
Doing business in Vermont
Q: Liv, when you look back on all the work that went into making that place ready to do business, do you wish that there were things that could have been smoothed out either by the town or the state, or things you would have done differently looking back?
There are so many things that I would have done differently looking back, and it's hard to know if any of them would have made a difference. Some things feel like you can try and try again, and some things kind of feel like it's just not, the vision isn't there, it's not going to work.
The immigration crackdown and the food supply chain
Q: What exactly have Vermonters done in the past decade or so to protect immigrant workers from deportation actions?
Vermont passed laws enabling undocumented residents to acquire driver's licenses and developed a policing policy limiting collaboration with federal authorities.
