This trailer podcast was produced by LIssa Weinmann and Jack Pombriant with help from Sally Seymour. The Brattleboro Words Trail theme song is by Ty Gibbons. The Trail is a product of the Brattleboro Words Project, which was inspired and supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. It has worked with hundreds of local citizens to produce more than 100 audio stories linked to places one can explore through a free, gps-triggered app and website, 'Brattleboro Words Trail'. Large ceramic landscape murals exhibited in the town are updated as new content is added; Free printed maps based on the murals guide folks along. The Project also published a 278-page, richly illustrated companion book called "Print Town: Brattleboro's Legacy of Words." Lissa Weinmann directs the Brattleboro Words Project with an Advisory Team comprised of William Edelglass PhD, Shanta Lee, Starr LaTronica, Rolf Parker-Houghton and Sally Seymour. Partners in the Project include the Brattleboro Literary Festival, Brooks Memorial Library, Brattleboro Historical Society, Write Action. Marlboro College was a principal partner until it closed in 2020. The Vermont Folklife Center is now the Brattleboro Words Project's fiscal sponsor.
Our theme music is by Ty Gibbons. Thanks to the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Vermont Arts Council and the hundreds of volunteers and community members who support this work.
