Hosted by Mikaela Lefrak, Vermont Edition convenes conversations and shares stories about the communities in our region. Whether you’re a local leader, a lifelong Vermonter or a brand new listener, this is your show.
Here's what we're discussing this week.
- Monday, May 13: A roundtable of statehouse reporters debriefs the 2024 legislative session.

- Wednesday, 8: Could psychedelic therapy improve mental health? We'll discuss with a Windham County lawmaker and Brattleboro Retreat addiction counselor. Plus, a look at the new state mushroom (which isn't psychedelic) with a legislator and kids who helped pass the bill.
