William Crawley and guests Gerry Johnston and Laura Brown talk about how the once mundane activity of shopping has changed beyond recognition in lockdown. William heads to his local supermarket on his weekly shop - now socially distanced, with some people wearing masks. Gerry works at a large supermarket, Laura runs a family-owned deli in Belfast. They all share their experiences about seeing how shopping has changed for customers and workers and they ask whether it'll ever be the same again.

William Crawley is joined by Spanish flu historian Dr Ida Milne and writer & memorialist Tony Macauley to find out what we can learn from the 1918 flu pandemic, understand what generations before us went through and what we can learn from society a hundred years ago.
