This summer, the region has come alive with the quadricentennial celebration of explorer Samuel de Champlain's first voyage to the lake that now bears his name. We join in the festivities with a special broadcast from ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center on the Burlington waterfront.

Host Jane Lindholm talks with David Hackett Fischer, author of the acclaimed Champlain's Dream about the explorer's life.
