    Introducing Love Under Lockdown – October 14th on Stitcher Premium
    Oct 5 2020
    “Love Under Lockdown” plunges us into the intimate daily lives of four couples quarantining together in the pressure cooker of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whitney and Sariy have been dating for only four months when they both contract the virus and are forced to quarantine together. Brandee and Mary have just ended their three-year relationship, but continue living peaceably together—until they start dating other people. Jess, an ER doctor who is exposed daily to the virus, makes the heart-wrenching decision to quarantine away from her fiancé and toddler to keep them safe. And Edwin and Kelcey must protect their immunocompromised son while dealing with Edwin’s job loss. Through raw, confessional audio and a moody original score, “Love Under Lockdown” is both a time capsule of the strangest year of our lives, and a timeless meditation on love in all its forms. All episodes available October 14th only on Stitcher Premium.
