Episode three of The New Normal – a weekly podcast hosted by Maydianne Andrade and created in collaboration with a University of Toronto Communications team led by producer Lisa Lightbourn – looks at how people are coming together during the pandemic. Andrade speaks with sociologist and associate professor Erik Schneiderhan of University of Toronto Mississauga about our need to connect and whether, as Schneiderhan says, "we'll be a little kinder, a little more open, a little more understanding" with each other when the crisis ends. Producer: Lisa Lightbourn Host & Writer: Maydianne Andrade
