VTDigger is thrilled to partner with Back Pocket Media to bring Vermonters a captivating live storytelling event sponsored by Deep City and featuring journalists and community members.
About the event
Local Live(s) is a show that brings together journalists and locals for a night of entertainment and conversation by and for Vermonters. The result is an entertaining, captivating event that fosters connection and new understandings. Think of it as a podcast, but live and all about the place we love.
The theme of the evening is 'Headfirst,' stories about diving headlong into odd, difficult, and at times, sublime decisions.
