2026 Session Shakedown
The Vermont Legislature has adjourned, and it's time for our annual Session Shakedown. VCV Executive Director Dan Fingas joins the podcast to break down the biggest environmental and democracy-related developments of the 2026 legislative session. From clean energy and climate action to housing, transportation, and clean water, we explore where key priorities advanced, where they stalled, and what the outcomes mean for Vermonters. We also discuss some of the session's most contentious debates, including the controversy surrounding Act 181 and the future of Vermont's housing policies. In a special bonus conversation, Chittenden County State's Attorney Sarah Fair George discusses her recent decision not to prosecute ICE protestors in South Burlington, ongoing legislative efforts to protect Vermonters from federal immigration enforcement, and the debate surrounding masking provisions in S.208. Two timely conversations examining the policies, people, and decisions shaping Vermont's future.

The Past, Present, and Future of Vermont’s River Communities
This week's episode examines how climate change is reshaping the meaning of home in communities facing increasing floods and environmental disruption. It challenges the idea that people can simply relocate, highlighting the deep cultural, historical, and emotional ties that bind communities to place. Grounded in Vermont’s recent flooding, it explores how river towns are grappling with both immediate recovery and long-term uncertainty. Sereena Knight, our 2026 legislative intern, guest hosts. The discussion centers lived experiences and invites a more thoughtful, justice-centered vision for community resilience and the future.
