Thursday morning on Goddard College Community Radio: Will Trump federalize the Vermont National Guard to help him forcibly stay in office? And how a Vermonter tried to make soap his sensitive skin could tolerate and ended up building a Middlebury company that is nearing its 30th anniversary, with dozens of employees.
9:00 - 10:00 am
Ed Stanak testified Tuesday at a joint hearing of two Vermont Senate and House committees on the legal possibilities for Donald Trump to federalize the Vermont National Guard, against the Governor's wishes, and use them to suppress Vermonters' rights of free speech and free assembly after the November election. We'll hear from him on why he thinks that could happen and what little protection Vermonters have against it happening.

Larry Plesent made himself into a human lab rat in the early 1990s, to find ingredients for a soap he could use without irritating his skin. When he came up with a recipe he was happy with, he founded Vermont Soap, which now employs dozens of people in Middlebury. Plesent talks about what makes skin-friendly soap, how to compete in a market dominated by giant international corporations, why the movement to nearly cut soap use out altogether stinks, and more.
