How Are You Doing?

Hearts taped to window with messages like "thank you health care workers" and "hope".

In August, paper hearts hung in the window at Emersons Furniture in Brattleboro offer words of hope and friendly reminders.

Winter is just around the corner and new restrictions on social gatherings have many Vermonters concerned about isolation in the coming months. VPR will host a series of call-in conversations every Thursday at noon for people to come together to talk about our challenges and share words of encouragement for our neighbors during these difficult times. Bob Kinzel and Mitch Wertlieb co-host this weekly check-in, and they want to hear from you. Who are you leaning on for support these days? What is your community doing to come together for one another? What moments of joy and levity have you found this week?

How to add your voice: Leave us a 30-second voicemail with your thoughts and reflections. Call 1-800-639-2192 and then dial option 6 to leave a voicemail. Or you can record a voice memo on your smartphone and email us your recording.

We hope you’ll join us for this hour of warmth, kindness and companionship every Thursday at noon.
