This episode of the Brattleboro Words Trail Podcast featured writer Pablo Medina who reads his essay ‘Home in Vermont’ written specifically for the Brattleboro Words Trail mobile app (https://brattleboro.stqry.app/) that guides listeners through stories of people past and present who embody the theme of 'words' throughout the Brattleboro area. This episode was produced and hosted by me, Lissa Weinmann and was edited by Alec Pombriant. We thank Pablo Medina for his participation as well as his suggestion that we use short clips of his favorite Cuban composer Leo Brouwer performed by the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet.

A ceramic marker in Williamsville representing Pablo will now be added to the beautiful Brattleboro Words Trail landscape murals created by local artist Cynthia Parker Houghton. You can see the murals on display at 118 Elliot in Downtown Brattleboro, but they will move to the town's new Amtrak station in 2026. You can also see a video by producer Donna Blackney about the making of the murals at: https://www.brattleborotv.org/brattleboro-words-project/brattleboro-words-trail-cynthia-parker-houghton/. General information about maps, stories and the ongoing community creation of audio stories can be found at the Brattleboro Words Project website at: https://brattleborowords.org/
