Rumble Strip
Airs during Weekend Edition Sundays at 9:42am.
Rumble Strip invites listeners to slow down for good conversation that takes its time. Host Erica Heilman invites herself into people's homes to find out what they know, hate, love, what they’re afraid of, and what makes them more like you than you'd realized. Rumble Strip is produced independently and distributed on the radio by Vermont Public.
