August 4, 2023: We've been thinking a lot about transitions lately and inheritances. As modern Vermonters we have passively inherited VT from our forbearers AND are actively creating the future Vermont.

So, let's hear from some of our political ancestors. On today's show, we'll read two speeches from Vermont's first governor, Thomas Chittenden.
