What 'Brave Little State' Found While Exploring Vermont's Housing Market

March's Brave Little State episode set out to answer a question from Peter Kerson, who asked: “Why is there such a housing crunch in Vermont?”

VPR’s Henry Epp and Angela Evancie worked to provide an answer. Henry spoke to VPR's Morning Edition about how in reporting this episode, Brave Little State found there are definitely pressures on the housing market in Vermont — but they can look different in different parts of the state.

Listen to Henry Epp's conversation with Mitch Wertlieb above.

A graduate of NYU with a Master's Degree in journalism, Mitch has more than 20 years experience in radio news. He got his start as news director at NYU's college station, and moved on to a news director (and part-time DJ position) for commercial radio station WMVY on Martha's Vineyard. But public radio was where Mitch wanted to be and he eventually moved on to Boston where he worked for six years in a number of different capacities at member station WBUR...as a Senior Producer, Editor, and fill-in co-host of the nationally distributed Here and Now. Mitch has been a guest host of the national NPR sports program "Only A Game". He's also worked as an editor and producer for international news coverage with Monitor Radio in Boston.
Henry worked for Vermont Public as a reporter from 2017 to 2023.
