POINTS NORTH is a weekly trek into the heart of northern New England.

Each week, Vermont Public Television's regional magazine series makes another excursion into the lives and times of some of the Northeast's most intriguing residents. Hosts Fran Stoddard and Rob Michalak offer up a mixture of colorful stories, off-beat interviews, and reflective explorations of the people, places, and events around us - stories that add a sense of the unique to our lives, and remind us why we live where we do.
