Brave Little State's road to 200 episodes

Brave Little State recently released its 200th episode. To mark the milestone, the team combed through thousands of listener questions submitted over the years and selected some favorite topics that never won a voting round. Vermont Edition aired portions of the show — you can find the full episode here.

Brave Little State’s senior producer and managing editor Josh Crane and the show’s executive producer and co-founder Angela Evancie tell us how the show began and some of their favorite local topics to cover.

Broadcast live on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
