  • Hope Garcia - Bullying
    Feb 15 2026
    Hope Garcia, a local mom, and her sister Chrissy Searles recently spoke publicly about concerns regarding bullying happening in area schools. They shared their experiences and perspectives on the issue during an appearance on the AIRED OUT podcast, where they broke their silence on the topic and highlighted specific concerns about how bullying is being handled in their community.
    Their comments were shared on the AIRED OUT Facebook page in multiple posts earlier this week, where the conversation centered on raising awareness about bullying inside local schools.
    JD has reached out to Barre Town Middle and Elementary School inviting them onto AIRED OUT but has yet to hear back.
    Bullying in schools isn’t just individual conflict — it’s recognized as a repeated pattern of behavior that can harm a student’s mental health, academic performance, and sense of safety as discussed EVERY WEDNESDAY on AIRED OUT with Sweethearts and Heroes - who started in Vermont in 2016 and has since traveled near and far, sharing the power of H.O.P.E. and Action with millions! Our focus is to educate society on the impact of hopelessness, build empathy and compassion in our youth, and develop young Sweethearts & Heroes to promote bystander empowerment through leadership roles.

  • Eric J. Buzzetto - JFK Elementary
    Feb 11 2026
    This morning on the AIRED OUT Podcast I was joined by Eric J. Buzzetto, Physical Education teacher at JFK Elementary in the Brewster, NY School District — and what a powerful conversation it was. Eric doesn’t just teach physical education… he builds culture.
    Through the Sweethearts & Heroes framework, he has transformed his gym into more than a place for fitness. It’s a space where courage is practiced, kindness is modeled, accountability is encouraged, and every student is reminded they matter. He shared a lot about how Rick Yarish, Tom Murphy and the rest of the Sweethearts & Heroes team have made real change in his school. And how being intentional with energy and language can completely shift the tone of a school day. Perhaps most impactful was his reminder that culture isn’t created in assemblies alone — it’s built daily, in the small moments, by adults who choose to “be that teacher.” Eric’s passion is proof that when educators lead with heart, students rise.

    If you missed it, catch the replay and be reminded that every one of us — in any role — has the power to create a space where others feel seen, supported, and inspired.

    Do better. And “be that teacher” — no matter who you are.

    Josh Miller of Vermont Fatherhood is part of the regular guest line-up here at AIRED OUT, joining us every second Monday of the month! Josh and I continue our powerful, honest conversations about what it means to be a father—and even more, a dad. Today, we talk about the power behind the word “no,” building trust, truly connecting, the meaning hidden in “how was your day,” setting healthy limits on screen time, and why allowing space and freedom to grow matters more than we think.
