Every episode of State of the Re:Union, we ask listeners to write a letter to their city. For our Vermont episode, we featured writer and musician Robin MacArthur’s love letter to her home state. The piece is scored by Red Heart the Ticker, the band Robin plays in with her husband Tyler Gibbons.

Photography and multimedia production by Sara Brooke Curtis, with help from Laura Starecheski.

SOTRU’s New Audio Obituary Series Begins Today

Viola Morse, a lifelong Vermonter, died last year. After living in the same town for ninety-nine years, she must have left quite an imprint.  State of the Re:Union set up a voice-mail box so Viola’s friends, family, and admirers could share their memories in their own words.  This first piece in our new audio obituary series was produced by SOTRU intern extraordinaire Sara Brooke Curtis. 

Visit our Flickr page for more pictures of Viola, and hear more incredible stories about Vermonters in our new episode, “Vermont – The Small Town State”, releasing next month.
