  Sep 28, 202659 minS1

  Do children in New Hampshire have a constitutional right to a public education? The State of New Hampshire is currently asking its Supreme Court to say...nope. In this episode, Liz talks with Zack Sheehan, executive director of the NH School Funding Fairness Project, about thirty years of school funding lawsuits ( Claremont , ConVal , and Rand ), the state's appeal asking the court to throw out the Claremont decisions entirely, and what all of it could mean for you and your community.

  Sep 14, 202632 minS1

  If you throw a seltzer can into a blue recycling bin in New Hampshire...where does it go? In this episode, Liz talks with Andrea Folsom, the executive director at NH Recycles, about all things recycling (and a little bit trash).
