It's another episode on the pandemic, but let's be honest there's not much else on our minds.

This episode Allison talks with Eli Peyton, a teacher at DeKalb Path Academy. Eli gives listeners a first-hand account of a teacher's perspective concerning online learning. We talk about the impact the pandemic is having on students, parents and teachers. Plus she gives tips on how to best survive homeschooling kids. Additionally, teachers and a student from the American South share their perspectives and send out messages to their students, classmates or teachers. The Who's that Lady (from History)? is Alice Hamilton, an occupational epidemiologist.

Life as we know it has dramatically changed. Societies around the world are being asked to stay home and away from other people.

The view from Allison's window remains the same each day and as an introverted extrovert she can't fight the curiosity of what this is like for others. In an effort to make everyone feel less alone Allison invited her roommate Josie and some listeners to share their social distancing stories. The stories range from a Southerner living in France to a flight attendant.

There's a special section with advice from Dr. Alysa Lucas, of the Best Forevers Podcast, on maintaining friendships while social distancing.
