The remains of Newport's Renaissance Block, a demolished area of downtown. This month VPR's "Brave Little State" talks with Newport residents and officials about the plans for the so-called "pit."

New episodes of Brave Little State, VPR's people-powered journalism podcast, are airing each month on Vermont Edition. And for July, podcast host Angela Evancie and reporter Liam Elder Connors head to the Northeast Kingdom to answer the question: "What's the plan for the 'pit' in the middle of Newport?"

Broadcast on Tuesday, July 9, 2019 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
