- FAREWELL 2020: what have we learnt S2 I Ep26
A close out episode of a momentous year bringing back some familiar voices.
4 min - NEWMARKET: Altars at home/Youtube Church/Free School Meals Crisis/Christmas For One? I S2 Ep25
Day 138 and we speak to Father Max in front of his makeshift altar that he has set up at home in his study in Newmarket, England
I was so affected by this episode, this quiet man and the obvious care he had for his community and his town and the very difficult circumstances people were dealing with. Its full of both hope and hardship and shows a very human side to religious work.
* Technological wizardry and old school prayer - how to combine the two and make it work?
* The Free School Meals programme in the UK stopping exposed huge cracks in our systems, what that meant for so many vulnerable young families and what was done to help.
* The support we all need, even priests (!) at this time as we navigate an uncertain world.
* what does this all mean for Christmas...something many have their eye on right now.
This episode was recorded on 28 July 2020

22 min - PARIS FRANCE: Health v Politics in the Pandemic/Alone Adventures/France without Kisses I S2 Ep24
Day 110 and we speak to David under the eaves in his apartment in Paris, France.
France, as has many parts of Europe, just this week gone back into strict lockdown as Winter approaches and at this sad time we revisit the heavy lockdown that Paris experienced bordering one of the worst affected countries, Italy, at the beginning of the pandemic.
* we talk about the changes to French society, owning Paris streets and skipping those kisses!
* Living alone during the Pandemic: David talks beautifully about choosing to move in with his best friend and making the lockdown an adventure together - and the delicious food resulted!
* as an American who is long time France resident he speaks very movingly about wrestling with trying to explain to his French friends how differently this is playing out in the US..and how it has become a political issue not one of public health. Something so pertinent on the eve of the election!

18 min - POD2POD: Lenni in Los Angeles/BLM Protests in the Pandemic/Making this election COUNT/Why there is still hope for tomorrow I S2 Ep23Day 163 and we speak to creator and podcaster Lenni in her uber-insulated bathroom she podcasts from in Downtown LA in the US. Today we meet the first of our podcasters in the POD2POD series. I met Lenni at the very beginning of my journey into podding here in LA and I cannot be more thankful for her wise words at this time. The 2020 Black Lives Matter protests initially sparked by the murder of George Floyd quickly spread across the nation from June 2020 and worldwide - in what was an unprecedented scale of civil protest and what is now being called the largest protest movement in US history. Lenni and I spoke back in August as the protests began to die down and we shared a desire to keep this action in people's hearts and minds. She shares intimate observations and feelings of the protests from her vantage point in Downtown LA and spoke incredibly openly about what this time has sparked in her and what this says about the broader picture of growing up as a young black woman in America. Inevitably conversation turned to the election and the political upheaval in the US which led me to think today, November 3 - the last day of the vote - would be the right time to hear Lenni's powerful words. •••• GUEST LINKS: You can find Lenni, her thought provoking podcast and more about her work here below - follow on her instas for the launch of her new shows launching in 2021.

5 min - SWEDEN: Actors in the Bedroom/The Changing Face of New York and Broadway/How to Tame Overachieving Minds and Mama Wisdom I S2 Ep20Day 125 and we speak to actor Isra in her childhood bedroom in Gothenburg Sweden. Isra left her home in New York at the height of the pandemic in March and return to what felt like a parallel universe - the country where she grew up - Sweden. We spoke at a time that unemployment benefits were coming to an end in the US so it was occupying many, especially the creative industries. Sweden's light touch approach to the pandemic has caused debate globally as it was SO unusual - was it the right approach to save the economy? Did it work and could it really work outside of Sweden? We talk about the palpable change to the living organism that is New York City during Covid and what the future might hold for this adored city. The incredibly tough work landscape for artists and what it is now morphing into - including some interesting tidbits on the future of casting. The unparalleled magic of live theatre and how artists are stretching to find opportunity in this bleak time. The wisdom of mamas (always no matter where you go, they are there!) and how to tame overachiever tendencies in a world that has stopped. •••• GUEST LINKS: You can find Isra and more of her work here: Website: www.israelsalihie.com IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8666766/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/isra.elsalihie/ If you have enjoyed this episode and would like to see the story unfold

15 min - CAMBRIDGE, UK: The Last Wedding/Rubik's Cubes/How to Find a Family Rhythm I S2 Ep18
Day 35 we speak to Kate Winter, children's illustrator and writer, in her shed studio in Cambridge, England.
It was early days when we spoke, and it was all about how to create rhythm out of the emotional chaos of the beginning of lockdown when strict lockdown was in place but before the UK descended into a mess of unclear direction from the Govt that have marked the country since then.
Spring was in full bloom in that corner of the world and the sounds of blackbirds crept in through the doors.
How do you find the significant space needed to create at this time, especially with kids knocking at the door?
This time has brought so many details to the fore that were not visible in the noise - What happens when you recognise what hasn't been working in your family and this brings an opportunity to craft a new family rhythm?
We celebrate the UK's last wedding the week of lockdown and the magic of a COMPLETED RUBIK'S CUBE!
And if you're wondering what a PUNT is, its a shallow bottomed pleasure boat that you will see carrying people up and down the river in Cambridge. Its a beautiful day out!

19 min - NEW ZEALAND: How does a Country's Leadership /Culture affect the crisis? #NZHellHole and Benefits of Personal and Global Slowing Down I S2 Ep17
Day 58 we speak to Liane at her desk in Wellington, New Zealand - although its June, its getting cold, the cusp of winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
She talks about the fascinating details of Prime Minister Jacinda Adern's leadership during the crisis. New Zealand's Covid response and management and government support of its residents has been held up as one of the most effective globally.
With a short lockdown, then 102 days entirely covid-free before an very slight second wave in August that sparked a light trolling of Trump with twitter hashtag #nzhellhole when he compared the two countries.
New Zealand was the first to give women the vote in 1893! - how the fact that the country is secular and egalitarian in outlook contributed to its success.
In stunningly beautiful New Zealand, the country is extremely reliant on tourists, we talk about what happened when this, New Zealand's second largest industry was shutdown over night
Liane documented the slowing down - within her family the rollercoaster of emotions but also positive changes that the slowness brought with it for them all.
A question we are all asking - what did the slowing down mean for the environment and can we preserve this after the worst of Coronavirus lockdown is over?

19 min - MICHIGAN, US: How to learn from pandemic literature/The Magic of Cold Showers I Season 2 Ep16
Day 109 Redford, Michigan we speak to Terry in his bedroom, in a part of the world that had the first large outbreaks of the virus in the United States.
We connected over a well-loved audio project initially and I invited Terry to speak. I loved Terry's beautiful quiet way of conjuring a space. We talk libraries and sound, the novel Camus' the Plague and what it can teach us about the end of the pandemic and how to look after yourself and your mental health in these tough times.
Oh and yes, a personal fave of mine - the magic of cold showers!
