Keeping Connected Eric Kravit
-
- Society & Culture
We're all physically distanced right now, but why should we be socially distant? Here, regular people share their stories of how Covid-19 has affected them and their families, what they were doing before hand, and where they think they'll be once this passes. It's important to be present for each other, so why not start here?

4. Time To Have the Uncomfortable Conversations - Dayna Reyes
We return on Keeping Connected with an episode that can not be ignored, especially because of what's going on in our country. Dayna Reyes joins the program to address the racial discrimination that has been plaguing our society since our country was established, but has been magnified by thousands due to Covid-19 shutting down all other distractions that would normally divert our attention elsewhere. We go over how to protest peacefully, how we can educate ourselves and what we can do if we wish to help.
As of this recording, the police officers who murdered Breonna Taylor have not been arrested yet.

3. A Contemplative Conversation - Gene Connor
Today we get to hear about how an EMT, a drama instructor, a high school teacher, a father and cyclist deals with the ever changing world effected by Covid-19...and that's just one person. Take a listen as I get to speak to Gene Connor about how he's navigating the waters of Covid-19.
EDIT: I'm pleased to announce that with some help from Kathy Eliassof (okay, it was all her) I've attained a copy of the "The Little Mermaid" performance Connor highlighted. Please give it a watch! It would mean the world to the cast and crew to have their work shared! You can find it in the Youtube link attached.

Today, we talk to Cheryl, who apparently I've known for over 15 years. We dive into how Covid has affected her professional, academic, and personal life.

This is what we're going to be about. Bringing people together and sharing their stories. I scrape the surface of what this podcast is going to be all about.
