Episode 4: Staying in and Getting Through It Nov 19, 2020

Show notes

With COVID-19 transmission rates ramping up all over the country, we’re continuing to hunker down in our homes—and lots of folks are doing the same, or are returning to the stay-at-home lifestyle of the spring of 2020. Because no person can live on Netflix and Zoom get-togethers alone, we’re going to talk about creative ideas for making time at home feel just a bit more special. We’ll discuss throwing at-home pop-up events (Oktoberfest, beach day) and turning your space in the places in the world you especially miss, like coffee shops, bars, and movie theaters. We’ll also talk about an accessible way to get into coffee nerdery.

Episode 3: Just a Bunch of Ideas for Coping Nov 05, 2020

Show notes

We firmly believe that one of the best ways to get through times that are bad/dark/weird is to anticipate needing a little extra help dealing when things go sideways and plan accordingly.

In this episode, we talked all about what each of us has in our own break-in-case-of-dark-times kits. You’ll get tons of recommendations, from movies, TV shows, and podcasts to recipes, games and activities, things that will make you feel cozier, and more.
