In this episode, Gary Shattuck, author of Night Rider Legacy: Weaponizing Race in the Irasburg Affair of 1968, and Lane Marshall, a former Vermont State Trooper, and later director of the Vermont State Police, speak of the Irasburg Affair, a shooting-turned-adultery case from the 1960s in Irasburg, Vermont. Marshall was the first officer to respond to the shooting and describes for the first time his involvement and impressions in this racially charged case that soon became a pivotal moment in Vermont history.

In 1981, Bernie Sanders, with the help of community organizers around Burlington, defeated Mayor Gordon Paquette in a mayoral race that shook the city. It was the beginning of Bernie's rise in Vermont politics... one which would eventually lead him to his campaign for president. In this episode of Mudseason, we talk with Phil Fiermonte who worked alongside Bernie for most of the last 40 years.

Phil Fiermonte served as Senator Bernie Sanders’ State Director for 20 years, was his Field Director for several statewide campaigns, was a Senior Advisor on Senator Sanders’ 2016 Presidential race, and worked as a community organizer at the King St Youth Center in the early 1980s, and as union organizer for the American Federation of Teachers.
