★★★★★ This podcast is both a celebration of the enduring nature of the art scene in the city and a call to action to get out there and be a part of the recovery. You don’t have to jump in a plane to get the inside scoop on the entertainment scene, but you just might want to.

Stories from quarantine. The "social distancing" of the Covid-19 outbreak is something none of us were really prepared for... and so how are we coping with it? Conversations with people in a variety of situations, told in real time as the epidemic unfolds. Listen on Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.
Responsibilities: regular production & research duties (show notes, episode guides, guest management, scripts). Also responsible for diversifying the show and introducing international storylines.
