Quarantine Dailies Podcast

As more and more of us get quarantined, our daily lives, jobs, relationships have been affected in ways that were pretty much unpredictable. For the worst but for the better too. This is an experimental podcast to explore these unprecedented times. Quarantine dailies explores a different person’s perspective every day, exploring how their life was back in January, how it is now with quarantining and social distancing, and what they are striving to shape up for the future.

    #BLM - Facing up to a dark history

    This year is the first time I heard about #Juneteenth. I had to come to terms with how little I know about my own cultural background and history. You see, Portuguese Slave Trade and American Racial History clearly intersect. And I did not know that. I dug into this for myself. But then I thought I should share it, and that's how this episode came about. If you do end up listening, I would love your thoughts.

    #027 - Ana Costa, engineer in Gothenburg, Sweden - Swedish quarantine lifestyle and how they were already social distancing before the pandemic

    Originally from Spain, Ana moved to Sweden a couple of years ago. For the last couple of months she’s been stuck between two realities: contrasting her near complete freedom where she lives with the extreme restrictions and fear with her family back home. In this really fun conversation, Ana explores: • How being in touch with the Spanish experience made her feel guilty • Why Sweden is a great place to be in • How Swedes were pretty much social distancing just because of social norms • What she is looking forward to explore next in the country • Eating better and staying healthy during these times. As usual, looking forward to your feedback! podcasts@j24d.com

    #025 - Richard Mori, CEO in Kigali, Rwanda - the impact of COVID on civil liberties, the future of rural electrification in Africa, and the current situation in Rwanda

    When the COVID lockdown became a reality, Richard had a choice. Take one of the last flights back home to the UK, or stay with his staff and company in Rwanda. Richard never doubted what his choice would be, but it wasn't easy all the same. Talking from his office and bedroom in Kigali, we have a conversation that really engaged our brains but warmed our hearts. We discuss everything from: • the future of rural electrification in Rwanda • helping those earning daily wages over there • getting back into cooking and watching Tiger King • the potential impact of the crisis on our civil liberties And much more...

    #022 - Andrea Perez, Researcher in Mexico City - becoming a first time mother during the pandemic, dealing with anxiety, and the situation in Mexico City.

    There was only one thing going through Andrea’s mind back in January: getting through her pregnancy. That changed shortly after her baby was born, and lockdowns started getting enforced. In this wide ranging and positive conversation with Andrea, we discuss: • The magic in studying old books and manuscripts • How the lockdown means spending more quality time with her husband and newborn • How her previous dealings with anxiety have helped her cope with the current times • The different realities in Mexico City right now • How different the experiences of our kids raised in a post pandemic world will be from our own • The parallels between the current pandemic and that brought by European colonisers to North America in the 16th century A wonderful chat!
