@CATV Podcasts

Double the help for your shelf!

In episode 8, we appeal to the inner Sam as we discuss a question left for us on Instagram: please discuss “Ottessa Moshfegh-ish literary fiction. Something grotesque and damaged but beautiful.”

In episode 7, each bookseller describes one book that is either funny and/or combines a superb balance between fun and thought based on an instagram question from Karen.

Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV Upper Valley media community; three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.

LEARN & MAKE

@CATV's "jamLABs" with local media professionals & jam CAMPs for kids

jamCAMP for teens @CATV: News & Multimedia Journalism

Campers in grades 8-12 will be joined by professional journalists Maggie Cassidy (VTDigger), Jim Kenyon (Valley News), Rob Gurwitt (Daybreak), and Elizabeth Wilcox (author and journalist) for this deep dive in real reporting. Probing current issues of concern to them, campers will produce news projects across media, including text, podcasting/radio, and TV/ streaming – asking essential questions about the roles and responsibilities of “the media” in our democracy, what makes a good story, and how we know “truth” in reporting.

Directed by Tamsin Orion (documentary filmmaker) & Samantha Davidson Green (CATV executive director)

June 27 - July 1 Studio Production (FULL)

"I'm not a politician."

US Congress candidate from VT Sianay Clifford

"I'm not a politician. I'm a social worker," says candidate Clifford. She promises to push for "systemic-level change." The daughter of a Liberian immigrant, Clifford says she is running because she knows "what it's like to grow up in a beautiful state and really struggle...to make ends meet." From ROWN MEETING TV in Burlington – May 7, 2022

"Astounding."

NH Gov Sununu

"Astounding" is how Gov. Sununu describes the state's unemployment rate of 2.3 percent. "We have one of the strongest economies in the country," he says. "Businesses and families with young children are pouring in. You can cut taxes and build more revenue because the economy's been going gangbusters." – May 19, 2022
