Safe & Sound is a weekly program on VPR celebrating Vermont artists and performers. In this episode, guest host Matthew Smith takes over the music playlist and talks to the owners of Vermont Comedy Club about how venues, whether they feature music or comedy, are handling indefinite closures and experimenting with the web during the ongoing pandemic.
