The world dreams of returning back to normal: when we were drifting happily through capitalism and masks weren’t apart of everyday fashion. The coronavirus pandemic disrupted our comfortable reality and has made me want to reflect on what I used to value and what I value now. In this episode, three friends discuss the internal and external affects the pandemic has had on ‘normal life.’ We reflect on the personal and democratic routine of the past and ask if we would care as much about anything if co-vid never happened.
