Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - a new pocket park in Montpelier is dedicated as building a more livable community, and a Vermont farm raises crickets for human food.
9:00 - 10:00 am
Montpelier dedicated the Jed Guertin Pocket Park along the Winooski River Tuesday, and its backers envision it as part of a long-term investment in making inviting spaces downtown and along the bike path. We'll hear visions of resilience and livable communities from designer Ward Joyce, mayor Anne Watson, and AARP Vermont's outreach director, Kelly Stoddard Poor.

Ed McMahon was scheduled to talk in Montpelier in March about the uniqueness of places, but a not-so-unique-in-Vermont snow storm kept him away. Now he's scheduled to speak tonight Wednesday, at the Montpelier Unitarian Church, and the weather is hospitable to travel. We'll hear a bit of his message on why our physical surroundings are worth caring about.

Steve Swanson wants Vermonters to Eat More Crickets, and he's farming them in a less-than-rustic industrial park in Williston. He'll explain why the birth of his first child led him to change careers into cricket farming, and how they grow the six-legged livestock at Flourish Farm.
