  • Summary

  • Conflict of Interest is a podcast about the world, through a discerning lens of journalism, politics and above all Vermont. Kevin Ellis goes against the grain of today’s politics and celebrity culture to talk about the massive change all around us and how the world actually works. You will hear from Kevin’s Vermont neighbors AND national voices on difficult issues. Vermont is becoming, or always has been, a place, a real place. We are not interested in the Vermont of the tourist guides. We are not going to talk to Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. We will talk to them about what it is like to sell the company and do something new - and the frustrations, fear and uncertainty that comes with changing your life. Part interview, part history lesson about stuff you won’t see or hear on CNN or NPR.

It takes what tough problems have always required: political courage, collecting data about those in need and a healthy dose of caring about people.

The legacy of our nuclear weapons program along with pollution from military bases all over the country. Her job? Clean up the mess. And as things went on, start factoring energy and climate change into how the military operates. How did it go? And what happens now that the Trump people have taken over?

    Bird Flu is here and it’s in the Milk
    Jan 9 2025
    The flu is in 16 states and more than 900 dairy herds. That means the milk is threatened. Can it jump to humans? Yes. Will it jump to humans in a big way. I ask NY Times science reporter Apoorva Mandivilli all the questions and she gives the answers. It’s not COVID, she says. Yet.
