Erica Heilman’s podcast Rumble Strip encourages listeners to fall in love with strangers and to discover how we are often more alike than we are different. Recent episodes included conversations with Vermonters about class, produced with Vermont Public. In this Fall Festival video, join Heilman for a discussion on making the show and trying to build community in an increasingly divided society.
