In honor of the show’s 5th birthday, we revisit our inaugural episode — about the past, present and future of the Vermont accent.

Thanks to Erin Creley for being our first-ever question-asker, and to Alex Keefe for helping us launch the show back in 2016.

To find more audio recordings that demonstrate the features of the Vermont accent, and learn about some recent research on the “glottal stop,” check out our web feature.

As always, our journalism is better when you're a part of it!
