Hello, North Country blogosphere.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m Zach. This is my first post here, and it\u2019s only my third week on the job. So I thought this might be a good time to introduce myself.<\/p>\n

I was just hired as a reporter-in-training. I grew up in a Long Island suburb, but I never really fit in there. I got out as fast as I could. I got my B.A. in cultural anthropology at UVM, where I also did a storytelling\/interview program on the college station.<\/p>\n

UVM is not necessarily a party school, despite its reputation. I don\u2019t know, does it still have that reputation? I think so.\u00a0It wasn’t a party school for me, though, because I’m a bit of a nerd\/geek\/dork<\/strong><\/a> (I haven’t figured out which). Anyway, Brooke Gladstone<\/a><\/strong>, one of my heroes, also went to UVM.<\/p>\n

This past spring I trained with the amazing people over at Atlantic Public Media\/ Transom.org<\/strong><\/a>. When my training program ended, I approached NCPR, which I always admired while I was in Burlington, \u201cand the rest is history,\u201d as Radio Bob<\/strong><\/a> likes to say. Anything else? I don\u2019t know. I play the drums (I\u2019m currently, passively looking for a kit and a band), I enjoy the cold weather, I still listen to cassette tapes, and I make fun of myself a good deal.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Radio Bob, I joined the legend himself yesterday on a hike up Blue Mountain. We were on a mission to hook up the Blue Mountain transmitter with some backup batteries, for when it loses power.<\/p>\n

Our mission had other objectives \u2013 I\u2019m sure Bob would be happy to tell you about those. My main purpose was to carry the gear and provide moral support, and that was just fine by me. What a great way to explore the area! Really!<\/p>\n
