Coexisting | Or, I Was In A Podcast

 Way back in June, at the tail end of it, I was interviewed and recorded an episode of the podcast Coexisting. It's a podcast in which guests from around the world are all asked eight questions about life during the pandemic, and the answers are edited together into, effectively, an unbroken monologue. We talked about keeping one's mental health intact, about Albert Camus' novel The Plague, and about libraries, also -- naturally, because I work at one.

At the time, shortly after recording, I felt that I wasn't very articulate, and I regretted not being able to talk about my music or my writing, because I am passionate about both. But, listening to it back when it came out -- it came out second-to-last day of August -- I'm very pleased with it. If you're wondering about quarantine life, then this is a good podcast to listen to. The editor, Lara Lightbody, has guests from all around the world, America, Ghana, Australia, Vietnam, and more. Please listen to it.
