CONNECTIONS
QUARANTINE CUTS
When COVID -19 caused global quarantines and travel bans, connecting with people less caused me to think about the world and our shared humanity more. When my daughter and I realized that people everywhere were doing the same thing, we also realized that not everyone is lucky enough to have international friends. That's when we decided to introduce you to ours. Sometimes funny, sometimes endearing, always interesting, Quarantine Cuts asked people from Australia to the United Kingdom how they were dealing with the pandemic. Each episode was meant to bring the world a little bit closer at a time when we were feeling farther apart than ever before.
