    Otis Brown Classic: Woodscrewed Two

    Otis Brown Classic: Woodscrewed Two

    This week on Otis Brown Podcast, I rerun an (unfortunately) still relevant Podcast from July 15, 2020 on the state of the pandemic and some of the ways our response to it continues to be cultural rather than medical or epidemiological.

    Hope you enjoy. If you remember this podcast and don't care to listen to it again, please be patient. NEW CONTENT COMING SOON!!

    Thanks, as always.
