Episode Synopsis

In the Season 2 premiere of There's No A in Creemee, Joanna and Andy reflect on a year of partnership, political organizing, and podcasting through turbulence and transformation. They share stories from the campaign trail, the challenges of Democratic Party leadership, and a rising tide of discontent among Vermont voters. Then, they welcome Mark Redmond, Executive Director of Spectrum Youth and Family Services, for a powerful conversation about youth homelessness, mental health, and the urgent need for systemic change. From the streets of Burlington to new beginnings in St. Albans, Mark shares stories of resilience, advocacy, and the kind of hope that’s built one meal, one bed, and one relationship at a time.
