After a several month long hiatus, the guys get together again and reflect on everything they've learned after their first year in the Vermont State Legislature. They also talk about their anticipated return to Montpelier, what work has already been done before the legislative session, and the implications of what could be coming to Vermont in 2026, namely continuing the work on education reform.

In this third edition of the ZIP (Zon Ian Podcast), the guys zoom out to recent federal legislation and what it could mean for Vermont. To wind down from the talk of looming federal threats, Zon, Ian and Johnny give a moment of recognition for each of their recent proud moments and accomplishments.
