The Quarantine Couch is a new podcast by 1stGens Creator Perrine DeShield. The show is co-hosted with Will Jenkins (Perrine's real life boyfriend) and is made for everyone coping with Covid-19.

Episodes will feature the couple’s real-life friends of various industries to share survival tips and creative ideas as we're quarantine.

This new podcast is to inspire creators, send laughs to the cynics, acknowledge the do-gooders and simply encourage humanity. All from the safety of our couch. We hope you take a listen and share from yours.

In this bonus episode, meet the wonderful creator of World Lit and Bull City native, Brandi. In a few quick years, Brandi took an Instagram page that promoted cultural experiences and turned it into Charlotte's first-ever street food festival.

Brandi sits down to talk with Perrine in a fun (and explosive) interview about everything ranging from being a culture junkie to the importance of celebrating underrepresented communities in the south.
