Description

Vermont Public Radio, created by Vermonters for the people of Vermont and its regional neighbors, has a mandate to inform, educate and entertain. Its purpose is to extend our involvement in contemporary affairs through programs that place in context the events of today, the past and present from which they spring, and the impact they have on the lives of Vermonters, both now and in the future. In late 2003, VPR collaborated with several stations on the series "Home State Record".
