Open Phones will get the show rolling this morning. Then we have Fairfax singer-songwriter Troy Millette joining us to talk about his craft and the tour he’s got coming up playing at a number of Vermont’s craft breweries. Next, a full-hour book show. Claire Benedict of Montpelier’s Bear Pond Books and Brattleboro’s Brooks Library director Starr Latronica join us to share a ton of titles for you to check out as you look for great reads for your summer.
