Lindholm to depart Vermont Edition, focus on “But Why”

After more than 13 years as host of “Vermont Edition,” Jane Lindholm will move into a new role at VPR next year, expanding “But Why: A Podcast For Curious Kids,” as well as producing special news projects for the station.

“Hosting Vermont Edition has been the highlight of my professional life. Every day I get to talk with fellow Vermonters, thinking about what we want our state to be and sharing both difficult times and joy,” Lindholm said. “But I’m ready for a new challenge. I’m looking forward to helping the youngest of public radio listeners explore the world around them.”

Lindholm came to VPR in 2007 as “Vermont Edition” expanded from a weekly into the flagship daily newsmagazine it is today.

Lindholm has also worked as a director at Marketplace/American Public Media. She has also worked as a research writer/editor at Let’s Go Travel Guides and served as a production assistant at NPR.

Lindholm is a graduate of Harvard University.
