It's Brave Little State's third birthday! To celebrate, the podcast looks back on three years of memorable Vermont stories.

In August 2016, VPR launched the people-powered journalism project Brave Little State.* The past three years have since flown by, and in that time the podcast has received and explored a whole range of questions about Vermont. Brave Little State marks its third anniversary by revisiting some memorable moments.

Listen above to a conversation between Brave Little State host Angela Evancie and Morning Edition host Mitch Wertlieb about the show.

FOR MORE: Listen to the full third anniversary episode of Brave Little State here.

*In case you didn't know, the podcast's name comes from a speech given by Vermont-born President Calvin Coolidge in 1928.
