This hour, we'll listen to a recent episode of "Brave Little State" on the impact of Airbnbs across Vermont.

What types of impact do Airbnbs and other short-term rentals have on communities around Vermont? Are they positively impacting the state's economy and residents, or "taking away" much-needed housing from locals?

This hour, Vermont Edition shares a recent episode of Brave Little State that looks into a question from listener Christiana Martin:

“What is the status of Airbnb in Vermont? How many units are taking away from locals? And what can be done about it?�

Brave Little State producer Josh Crane explores Vermont's short-term rental landscape, digs into housing data and travels to a small town in the Northeast Kingdom where the Airbnb battle is coming to a head.

Broadcast on Friday, April 7, 2023, at noon.
