Can you grow a peach in Vermont?

Nico says yes.

Also before we start, I want to say thank you to Stuart and Elaine Sevier of the Independent Media Initiative

for the huge honor of being a 2023 inaugural winner of an IMI award in audio reporting.

Last year in Austin I got to stand on a stage at a podium and give a speech into one of those

little award ceremony podium mics holding an extremely heavy trophy.

And I'm grateful for the honor and I'm also grateful that the Independent Media Initiative

exists because we really need them now more than ever.

Their mission is to build a kind of public media ecosystem

online by recognizing and supporting independent media

creators who are making the digital landscape a little brighter.

They're both supporting independent makers and they are helping people online find good thoughtful programming. They just wrote a great manifesto about what

they're doing which you can find on transom.org and I will link to it on my website
