This episode is with one of my closest and dearest friends Kia. I met Kia during my college prep year in Berlin. I was quickly struck by her intelligence and self-assurance and have felt very strongly about her ever since. Kia has gone through some huge changes in her life, a big one being her recent divorce. We talk about the aftermath of such a huge change as well as our friendship. It’s pretty damn long, but that’s only because we had too much to talk about!

This episode is dedicated to the thing that has taken complete control of our lives – the Corona Virus. I spoke to 6 different people from Berlin, Bournemouth, Brandenburg, the Bay Area, and New York about how the virus has affected them. This episode is a bit of an experiment, but what better time to change things up than now, in lockdown, with excess time on my hands.

Thanks to Karolin Schnoor for the beautiful illustration!
