    MY FAVORITE PODCAST!
    Such an amazing podcast! I split time between Vermont and Upstate NY and I can’t get enough of it on my drives back and forth!
  • TGinVT
    Love learning about my home state
    I’m enjoying listening to a woman I knew from my hometown expose me to different places in my home state! Great listen!

    Growing up VT
    As someone who grew up spending weekends in an old farmhouse in Duxbury, VT and learning to ski at Sugarbush North back when you could get a free ski ticket on President’s Day by reciting the Gettysburg Address at the ticket booth, I absolutely love your podcast! While my mom has since passed, my stepdad still summers in Duxbury and I am continuing the VT legacy with my own home in Chester. There’s not much happening in VT, but always something to look forward to on the next trip.

  • Wisco Subie
    An awesome podcast
    This podcast highlights Vermont so perfect and makes me wish I was there all the time. I always look forward to the new episodes and my only complaint is that the new episode can’t come fast enough. Keep up the great work!
  • Riptonite
    Experience Vermont through others
    I love listening to Mrs Houskeeper’s podcasts — listening is living the Vermont experience through the eyes and ears of both natives and transplants. Perfect for those of us who have a love affair with Vermont — a magical place.

    Good stuff!!
    Two things ... ok three 1) I had a blast being a guest on Erica's podcast a while back. 2) I listen to every episode - sometimes twice because it's good stuff about Vermont. 3) I am glad I got to know Erica and her podcast!
  • Seshashok
    Fun Vermont Podcast
    I met Erica when she interviewed me a few years ago. Her curiosity and easy interviewing style won me as a fan and I look forward to hearing new episodes. I always learn new tidbits and info about the wonderful people and places in my home state. Pro Tip: She also gives great advice in her blog on where to visit, cycle & hike. Her advice has made for some fun adventures for my family! Susan

    My home state
    But it’s mostly advertising businesses. Don’t like that.

    Too Quiet
    I really enjoy this podcast but the volume is so low it’s difficult to play it in the car which is the only opportunity I have to listen to podcasts. Is there something you can do about that please?

    Great stories about real Vermonters
    I really enjoy the down-to-earth conversations with the people that live in Vermont. These stories share the interesting backgrounds of Vermonters from different corners of the state.

    Happy Vermont
    This is such a warm, intimate podcast. I feel like I’m pulling up a stool to join a comfortable chat with interesting Vermonters. The people Erica interviews stay in my thoughts long after the episode ends...and I enjoy their company!
