Our stories this week examine the dissonance between thinking of COVID-19 in the past tense while also knowing it remains a very real threat to many vulnerable people in our community. Just because it isn’t in the news, and because it isn’t giving us a count of Covid infections anymore, doesn’t mean it’s gone away.
Hug:
In our first story, Cristina talks about the desire and the danger of touch with the
lingering threat of COVID-19. Produced by Cristina Marras for Audio Playground.
All We’ve Got:
In our second story, Laura examines how COVID-19 continues to impact many people today, even though the world seems to have forgotten it. Produced by Laura Pettenuzzo alongside Supervising Producer Persephone Waxman
Horror Story: Dawn of the Covid:
In the final story, David channels his inner George Romero and digs deep into the classic horror genre to tackle the real-life terrors of COVID-19 and his own MS diagnosis. Written and Performed by David Maney and Produced and Composed by Ben Keene.
