The podcast showcases the breadth of artists VCFA brings to its campus during the year through our nine academic programs. You’ll hear from writers, artists, designers, musicians, filmmakers, and more.

Art More Than Ever is hosted by Erica Heilman, a well-known Vermont radio and podcast producer. Heilman also produces Rumble Strip, a podcast that features vivid stories about everyday lives. The show airs monthly on Vermont Public Radio, and her work has aired on NPR’s Day to Day, Hearing Voices, SOUNDPRINT, KCRW’s UnFictional, and on major public radio affiliates across the country. Prior to her work in audio, Erica worked in documentary television in New York City. She produced programming for WNET, HBO, and ABC News.

Heilman’s background in journalism and in the art of the podcast has led to deep and meaningful interviews, all conducted within the warmth of VCFA’s Gary Library.

The podcast’s music is written by 2016 MFA in Music Composition alumn Scott Barkan. Visit his website.

We’ll release episodes every six weeks. Look to this page for podcast updates!
