England. A delightful and thoroughly engaging show, in which Jackie talks
about growing up in a working class environment, struggling to get by. She
describes her family with obvious love and impish mischief, relating
inspiring tales of supplementing the family income harvesting fruit from
neighbors gardens, and seeing her beloved pet bunnies hanging on hooks in
the butcher’s shop window walking home from school one day. A charming
glimpse into the life of this woman who has faced tremendous hardship, yet
emerged filled with compassion and humor. Recorded 9/1/16.[/ezcol_2third_end][ezcol_1third]

Middlebury Five-O: Matt Ready

[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end]
Matt the mindful activist, discussing mindfulness and activism in this
philosophical thrill-ride of a show. This bonus length, Director’s cut
episode is packed to the brim with devilish insight and devious little
nuggets of wisdom – come for the grand political visions, stay for the
rambling digressions into ethics! A somewhat studious, but delightfully
sassy interview, well worth a delve. Recorded 7/18/16.[/ezcol_2third_end][ezcol_1third]

Middlebury Five-O: Sherry Greifzu

[ezcol_1third]

Sherry describes how composing such a document can promote a process in keeping with your values, and relieve stress and conflict among those you care for, clarifying your wishes as they struggle to negotiate profound decisions in a time of tremendous grief. Though the topic is challenging, the discussion is vibrant and touches upon issues we should all be considering and talking about, no matter our age or health.

A riveting interview with this two time Vermont State Senator, accomplished
international diplomat and gubernatorial candidate. Peter talks about his
dramatic and profoundly significant work, striving for peace and human
rights in some of the most volatile places around the world, such as Iraq,
Croatia, and Afghanistan. He speaks about his deep connection with
Pakistan’s former president, Benazir Bhutto, touching upon how her
dedication and heroism have inspired him – and how his experience as a
negotiator on the global stage has informed his candidacy, imbuing it with
breadth and compassion and driving his goals, from his plans to increase
the minimum wage to his vision of healthcare in the State, to his desire to
minimize the influence of special interests in Vermont politics.

MUHS Senior Raft Race 2016

[ezcol_1third]

[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end]The much anticipated annual MUHS Senior Raft Race extravaganza, filmed in glorious technicolor – with glorious technicolor commentary by Officer Mason. A rich, emotional roller coaster of an event, in which reputations were both secured and shattered – acts of phenomenal heroism were displayed as well as acts of rampant piracy. A thrill-saturated, heart-pounding demonstration of engineering prowess, stirring teamwork and awe-inspiring athleticism – with some sensational sinkings to boot. Splendid fun, despite the frigid conditions at Lake Dunmore. Recorded 6/9/16.[/ezcol_2third_end][ezcol_1third]
