Jamie is living in Phnom Penh at the confluence of the Basak, Sab, and Mekong River system. He shares how masks are normal wear in Southeast Asia, he identifies that our dependence on technology is changing our socialization, and how families in remote areas are using Scarecrows to ward of Covid 19. Dave is particularly long-winded in this interview, maybe as a result of the 6 am Canada 5 pm Cambodia time change.

Eric, in Aukland, NZ, talks to Dave about coming home from camping in the North Sudanese desert after March Break to a very different reality as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic. He started working remotely, making his way back to NZ with his wife and three children. New Zealand’s policy of eradication of the virus is widely supported by the population and successful.

Meredith, in Sheffield U.K. by the River Don, talks to Dave about having a Quarintino Bambino at the start of a global pandemic, raising a newborn without extended family, breast feeding, NHL bubble, covid curls & long hair, and pub culture.
