At the request of a very special friend, I just listened to the life story of Vaughan Hood. It was an amazing story of a man who overcome many obstacles to be the best he could be. The story was beautifully told and very emotional and moving. I salute the man for his courage and the producers for a great work.
Sincerely, Suzanne Smith,

Do you ever wonder what people are doing when listening to Rumble Strip Vermont? I am binging. Friday, I listened to a few episodes while riding my bike on a trail here in Wisconsin. Yesterday, I was digging out grass and building a rock wall from a pile of rocks I moved to Wisconsin from my home in Michigan that I sold last August ~rock souvenirs from ‘home’ ~ as I was listening on my iPod to “After the Forgetting,” “Michael Chorney, Music Inventor” and “A Night on Mount Shasta” and “Kendall Wild” (2nd time I listened to this). Now at 4 am, I am sick from a piece of strawberry pie that a neighbor (whom I hardly know) who saw me building the rock wall brought over to me. I was in bed feel nauseous, trying to take my mind off of it, listening to “Another Day Older” and so understanding how profound life is. I’m almost 67. OMG so good all! You don’t have to be from Vermont to love this podcast. Such great storytelling. Thanks. Awaiting more. Nancy Camden , near Milwaukee, WI
Just listened to “Life’s Last Chapter” – shared with me by a friend. Incredible, just incredible – heartwarming, provocative and sweet…..I am going to figure out a way to share it with my 94 year old mother among many others into the future……the subject that no one talks about…..
Thank you again for creating this…..and thank you to Rob Mermin for sharing……
I am listening to the episode Hunger is Boring. I worked at a food shelf in Vergennes & in St. Albans with people experiencing homelessness. My mom is retired and 60ish & takes care of her father in Highgate who is ill. He refuses to go on food stamps due to perceived stigma, but I just asked if my mom would volunteer to help out Marge in Swanton with that food shelf. think she will! Thanks for creating such valuable content!
That’s wonderful Allison! Give my regards to Marge!
Just want to thank you for doing what you’re doing. I enjoy every new release, and it’s clear how much care you put into your work.
Your podcasts are truly inspirational. The story of Vaughan Hood in particular is beautiful and moving. You and that one story have inspired me to record people’s stories as well. Thank you for the fine work you do.
Thank you Mitch. This note makes my day…
I’m a Rumble-head. What can I say. All the way over here in Ohio. I’ve laughed, cried while driving, been enlightened and inspired by this podcast. Thanks Erica and crew!
My close friend who now lives and farms in VT put me onto it and I dove in head first while cleaning toilets and offices. Great company for such work.
I have some music I wrote to share and would like to send a cassette or link. If there’s a good and convenient way to do that, please let me know.
Keep em coming!
Ry
By all means send me a link to the music! Also, i am so happy you listened while cleaning toilets. I like listening to podcasts while I clean toilets too. Rock on Ry! e
Can you tell me who is performing the cover version of Bob Dylan’s “Oh, Sister” in this episode? It’s lovely.
I asked who the artist was who sang Bob Dylan’s “Oh, Sister,” but I neglected to mention the name of the episode it appeared in. Sorry about that. The song was featured in “A Tribute to Greg Sharrow.”
Hi Tony! Did you get my email? The amazing artist is Karinne Keithley Syers. She has a website called Fancy Stitch Machine. Fancystitchmachine.org
I’m really glad you liked it!
