Art generated by the AI 'Stable Diffusion' based on the prompt, "a colorful sketch of Bernie Sanders eating pancakes and maple syrup with a knife and form in a forest of fall foliage." What do you think are Vermont's pop culture icons?

A recent episode of Brave Little State looked at Vermont pop culture, and the music, food, art and politics that define Vermont. This hour, we're talking about Vermont's contributions to pop culture and how pop culture perceives Vermont.

Our guests are:

  • Sarah Nilsen, an associate professor in film and television studies at the University of Vermont
  • , a cartoonist and the administrative and development coordinator at the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction

Broadcast live on Friday, April 14, 2023, at noon.
