Italy 18.3.2020 "It feels like a penalization for love." Join me in this interview with my friend Anna as she tells us all about her work as a nurse in the Covid unit in Verona, Northern Italy, one of the places that has been hit hardest by the virus. I met Anna 10 years ago when volunteering in India and I am incredibly proud of this woman, her efforts to help people in whatever country she is in and her ability to stay positive - even when her test result is that as well.  Tune in to find out MORE about the quarantine in Italy, how "andrà tutto bene" gone viral is important in a time like this and what a normal day in a Covid unit looks like.

Germany / USA 11.4.2020 “A symbolism of Normalität.” Being a mom in the apocalypse; Yoga, murder mysteries and home schooling.  For MORE join Sydney from Florida to  Berlin and find out what GERMan (pun intended) words like Hamsterkaufen, Kündigung and of course Späti have to do with the pandemic.

USA 9.4.2020 Perspective. What do Donald Trump and Cornelius Fudge have in common? Could Bernie have won the election if the virus would have hit before Super Tuesday? Is there hope for New York?  How are religious groups coping with the virus? Will this unite us or divide us? What is is like being  part of a community and leaving, celebrating passover during a pandemic and why this holiday is the perfect symbol for the quarantine? Dive into the depths of the American politics on the sunny stairs of Cam’s Brooklyn apartment and hear the sirens wailing in the background. This is the city that never sleeps - except during a worldwide pandemic. All this and MORE on today's episode.

Portugal 1.4.2020 "Internetland." Quarantined in the time of social media: cyber crime, online parties, instagram, TV as a teacher and long distance friendships and relationships. We are all at the same distance from each other, we are all in the land called Internet. Apart but united, MORE with Mariana.

Finland 31.3.2020 "Nature will punch you back."
