2023 highlights from our local talk and variety shows.
We asked some of our local talk and variety show hosts to share some of their favorite show moments from 2023. Here is what they shared:
Celebrating the words of “Firsts”
“Bon Mot” (a show of poetry, the spoken word, and all things word-inspired) traveled
to Hardwick in September to record Governor Madeleine Kunin reading from her new
book of poetry, Walk with Me. Kunin celebrated her 90th birthday with the debut of
her second poetry collection. She is Vermont’s first woman Governor, the US’s first
three-term woman Governor, and the US’s first Jewish Governor. She also served as
Deputy Secretary of Education and Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein
after her tenure as Governor. Bon Mot also recorded and broadcast poems from
Kunin’s first book of poetry, Red Kite, Blue Sky, read live at the Old West Church in
Calais in 2020. Catch Rick Agran’s “Bon Mot” airing Sundays at 5pm.
Things That Go Bump in the Night
“It feels really powerful to bring a different kind of noise to Vermont's late-night airwaves. I know so many people who adore and depend on late-night radio, and I'm proud to help CVCR keep the nocturnal landscape weird.
That and yelling about Eurovision with my co-host in Australia.” - DJ Sacramento, host of “All the Crooked Saints,” Mondays at 10pm.
