Earlier this month, NPR's All Things Considered co-host Audie Cornish visited Vermont for two events. Audiences at VPR's Stetson Studio One and at Colchester's Elley-Long Music Center heard Cornish speak about her career in public radio and the challenges journalists may face in covering the upcoming 2020 election.
It was a full house at the Elley-Long Music Center:
