Here on Make Me Smart, we say none of us is as smart as all of us.

And trust me, distilling all the news into something coherent and occasionally fun is no small lift.

Listener support is a big part of how we pull it off because Make Me Smart is public media.

If you count on this show to bring a little clarity to the chaos, please consider pitching in.

Here we go.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Kimberly Adams.

Welcome back to Make Me Smart, where none of us is as smart as all of us.

Thank you for joining us, whether you're watching the YouTube live stream or listening to the podcast.

This is Economics on Tap, our weekly happy hour episode.

Today, we are joining you live from Burlington, Vermont, and joining me to tell me about all things Vermont is Carly Berlin, a housing reporter for VT Digger and Vermont Public.

Welcome to the show, Carly.

Hey, Kimberly.

This is my go-to beer here.

Let's see what everybody is drinking in the chat.

Oh, I should say, I am having a Mom's Manhattan, which is their twist on a Manhattan here.

And Jeff here, the owner, was telling me that it's because during the pandemic, moms needed Manhattans.
