"Transmission Times" from PRX 9-15-20

In this episode we hear about forest fires, having Corona in the family, how we are getting through, what "this" means, and much, much more. This episode is a snapshot of what this pandemic is like right now and has been like over the last six months told through the audio diaries of people around the world.

Audio diaries from around the world give us a glimpse of daily life during the pandemic. In these non-narrated, sound-rich snapshots of life we hear the joys and celebrations, the challenges and desperations, of mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, old and young.

The Transmission Times provides a weekly snapshot of what life is like around the USA and the world during this pandemic, through the voices of the people themselves.

Listeners will recognize aspects of their own pandemic experience as well as hear sides of this moment they might not know about. From the beginning of lockdown through the opening of many states and countries, these episodes give us a glimpse into not just the daily life, but the hearts of the speakers.
