  • Summary

  • Over the past year, we've all drastically changed our lives in order to combat a virus we've been told is highly contagious and deadly. Part of this change has been to severely reduce the types and amount of contact we have with other people. While this may reduce the spread of infection, it also reduces the spread of first hand knowledge of why we're doing any of this. For example - before venturing on this project, I knew no one who had contracted COVID. And it left me wondering. If this was so widespread, out of control and worth destroying our lives for, how did I not know anyone who had come down with it? How was it no one I knew did either? You'd think by now, a year into a worldwide pandemic, we'd all know a few people personally. But I do know people who've been affected by the pandemic's side affects - job losses, lack of education, health impacts not related to the virus, etc. But you rarely hear those stories in the news. It got to a point where I felt that without hearing a greater number of voices telling their stories, how can I continue to believe that it's been worth any of this? ...and so I started a podcast to do that.

    Feb 25 2021
    It's been a year, and unless you've managed to tune out everything and talk to no one, chances are not a day has gone by where you haven't heard or uttered that dreaded C-word. But with all the lockdowns, closures and social distancing we've all been a part of, I can't say I personally know anyone who's suffered from it. I do, however, know a few who've suffered because of it. So, when faced with questions racking up higher than cases, and some extra time that normally would be filled with all the things we no longer can do, I decided to start a podcast to talk to those who've been affected by this new normal, or the cause of it. If you've got a story you'd like to share on this podcast, I'd love to hear from you. Email me - show@letmespeakpodcast.com
