Episode 2 - Trapped (Full Episode)
This episode, our theme is ‘trapped’ - and how, for some, like the elderly and domestic violence victims, home might not be the safest space to be in. In another story, one of our reporters thought he had found a scammer but ended up meeting someone who is actually pretty awesome. Speaking of awesome, we spoke with some artists who, despite the challenges they're facing, are still pretty optimistic about what art and music can do for us in these isolating times. We will also share with you good news about connecting with others, including the importance of using the right language. And for you single people: today might be the best time to find someone (just make sure you practice safe social distancing practices!). This episode is all about feeling trapped in circumstances that can make us feel quite confronting and lonely. Our hope, through this podcast, is that you will not feel alone and even the worst of stories can be all of ours to share. We are in this together, and the key of surviving this, as you will hear, is by being there for each other. Warning: the episode contains descriptions of violence.
