S5E20" "Blinded Me With Science: Seeing versions Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People as a reflections of time and place"

Shoshannah Boray is the Education Coordinator for Vermont Stage, a Burlington-based theater company, whose Public Square Play this season is Gracie vs. The People. The performance is an adaptation and update for modern teen audiences of Swedish playwright Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People. Ibsen's story of two brothers put at odds with each other as scientific concerns clash against public opinion, and has been retold many times on film and stage, including with this production touring Vermont schools.

Jonathon Ahl is the Education coordinator at the Rokeby Museum in Ferrisburgh, Vermont, and therefore is no stranger to dissecting a document on the spot, sight unseen.

S5E18: "This One's For Chuck: Chuck Mangione and his Album Feels So Good as a document of the late 1970s"

The waning days of December is the time to reflect on the previous year and that includes notable people we have lost. Jazz musician Chuck Mangione was one such purpose, and I had the pleasure of speaking to one of his biggest fans about Mangione's most recognized album, Feels So Good at a conference in October, to decide how it's a reflection of the era.
