Philip Baruth’s Vermont Public Radio commentary series, “Notes from the New Vermont,” has focused since 1998 on both the national and the local, the deeply political and the undeniably absurd. In addition to Vermont Associated Press awards for commentary on Howard Dean and the aftermath of 9/11, Philip won a national Public Radio News Directors Award for “Lonesome Jim Does Totally Gnarly,” a spoof of Jeffords’s split with the GOP.
