New Podcast Ep!
We visit CT’s legendary Dirt Floor Recording & Production studio to talk to musician and Dirt Floor producer Eric Michael Lichter. Connecticut Public Radio’s John Dankowsky calls Dirt Floor “the Music Sanctuary of Connecticut”. Hear more about how Lichter uses old fashioned, hands-on musical instruments (some dating as far back as 1910) and recording methods to produce some of Connecticut’s most popular new musicians.

New #podcast episode up now!
Natalie Belanger and Ben Gammell of the Connecticut Historical Society Museum and Library uncover the little-known story of 18th-century cartographer Bernard Romans. A new exhibit of his maps at the museum pieces together the life story of a bold, talented, and adventurous immigrant to Connecticut who put his considerable skills to work for the American cause and may have paid the ultimate price for it.
