Featuring Journalist Erica Heilman

Conflict of Interest (LIVE!) is a new in-person interview series at the Montpelier Performing Arts Hub in Montpelier. Guests and newsmakers from around Vermont and the country will get beneath the headlines and cable TV slop to speak deeply about their field. Housing, health care, politics, Big Tech, wealth and power. Long-time media character Kevin Ellis interviews the major newsmakers about what drives them, how they see today's world and how they keep going. The monthly podcast invites audience questions. The goal is community and connection about the big issues facing Vermont and the country. Part interview and part history lesson about the stuff you won’t see or hear on cable TV.

Erica Heilman produces a podcast called Rumble Strip. Her shows have aired on NPR’s Day to Day, Hearing Voices, SOUNDPRINT, KCRW’s UnFictional, BBC Podcast Radio Hour, CBC Podcast Playlist and on public radio affiliates across the country. Rumble Strip airs monthly on Vermont Public. She lives in East Calais, Vermont.
