Only One In The Room

Myra Flynn 

Myra Flynn joined Vermont Public in March 2021 and is Homegoings's DEIB Advisor, Host, and Executive Producer. Raised in Vermont, Myra Flynn is an accomplished musician who has come to know the lay of the dirt road and that much more intimately through touring both well-known and obscure stages all around the state and beyond. She also has experience as a teaching artist and wore many hats at the Burlington Free Press, including features reporter and correspondent, before her pursuits took her deep into the art world. Before joining Vermont Public, Myra spent eight years in the Los Angeles music industry.  

Homegoings is a show that invites listeners to be a fly on the wall, privy to candid and genuine conversations about race. Host and musician Myra Flynn explores themes that fearlessly straddle that line between necessary and uncomfortable as she speaks with artists, experts, and regular folks all over the country about their literal skin in the game — of everyday life. Homegoings is storytelling — with a heartbeat. No topic is off the table, and there's no such thing as going "too deep." These are the conversations that are our birthright to have and the stories we are lucky to hear.
