Not Safe for Publication

A little update from Ana about where we're at. Please send any contributions for Not Safe For Lockdown - text or audio - to [email protected], and stay safe out there!

In our last episode before an unplanned hiatus, past guest Anne returns! We catch up on how the last twelve months have gone, and talk about travelling, fieldwork, social life and many other things which, in April 2020, seem like a distant memory or maybe a dream. Hosts this episode: Georgia and Jess. Theme Music: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom.

See you on the other side of all this. Stay healthy.

If you can't tell, this episode is an absolute delight and also fairly chaotic. Hosts: Georgia and Joely. Theme music: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom.
