The Farm from THE BIG PONDER

Published: July 18, 2022, 4:13 p.m.

Ira Karp lives on a farm in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, surrounded by music, puppets, and a family of incredible storytellers. Over his brief lifetime, he has become a \u2018story keeper\u2019 himself, collecting epic tales from his everyday life.\n\nThis is a story I made for THE BIG PONDER, a podcast series produced by the Goethe-Institut. They work with radio stations and independent\u202fproducers\u202fin the U.S. and Germany, and the programs reflect on abstract ideas and phenomena through hyper-local stories. They also explore dynamics between the the United States and Germany. I loved working with them, and I encourage you to subscribe to the show. You can find THE BIG PONDER wherever you get your podcasts.\n\nFor more information about this show, and a transcript, visit THE BIG PONDER.
