Vermont Humanities has produced two podcast series: Vermont Reads, based on our yearly statewide reading program; and Before Your Time, a joint podcast produced with the Vermont Historical Society from 2017 through 2024.
We hope that you enjoy this podcast episode featuring interviews with people involved in the creation of Charity and Sylvia, our Vermont Reads 2026 book. It is about 28 minutes long.
Presented by the Vermont Historical Society and Vermont Humanities. Every episode, we go inside the stacks at the Vermont Historical Society to look at an object from their permanent collection that tells us something unique about our state. Then, we take a closer look at the people, the events, or the ideas that surround each artifact.
Our seasonal “Words in the Woods” program allows Vermonters and visitors to enjoy our state’s natural beauty while listening to and reading literature in the outdoors.
Humanities Camps are filled with reading and writing projects, field trips, and outdoor activities.
We won a 2020 Schwartz Prize for best public humanities programming in the U.S. for Vermont Reads 2019: “March: Book One.”
We supported the Chandler Center for the Arts’ Global Connections Youth Outreach program, which highlights artists from around the world.
Our free public events help bring the power of the humanities to communities across Vermont.
