Brent Hallenbeck, the food, arts and entertainment reporter, is the third guest on Behind the Byline, a podcast telling the stories of the staff of the Burlington Free Press, hosted by summer intern Blaise Siefer. 

Hallenbeck joined the Free Press in 1999 after over a decade at newspapers in upstate New York. On this episode, Hallenbeck explains how he fell in love with language, what brought him to Burlington, and why the local food and entertainment scene is special.
