Julia Barnett
Host, All Things ConsideredAs the host of All Things Considered, I work to hold those in power accountable and elevate the voices of Granite Staters who are changemakers in their community, and make New Hampshire the unique state it is. What questions do you have about the people who call New Hampshire home?
I also report on Indigenous communities in New Hampshire and issues of assessing connection to communities in an area absent tribes with state or federal recognition.
