Connections During Quarantine: The World's Greatest Nephews

Well, its been about 70 days since I last recorded a podcast and…WOW. Things escalated quickly didn't they?! We are truly living through a time I couldn’t have imagined possible, certainly not 10 weeks ago. I’ve been working from home in isolation for 11 days now. As an extrovert and a person who works around thousands of people on a weekly basis, its been quite the adjustment to be in a 600 sqft corporate housing apartment 24 hours a day. It took me about 10 days into this to get a schedule/routine in which I wasn’t working round the clock, catch up on some rest, check on family and friends virtually, and take extensive breaks from the news. Today’s the first day I’ve felt calm, and ready to connect in new ways.

So I wanted to kick off a new type of series within my podcast: Connections During Quarantine. During this series, I will spend time connecting virtually with different people on various topics. My first guests, my nephews AJ and Justin. Both of them are one week into online learning and so I’m putting my inquisitive auntie skills to good to use to see how productive its been. Also I’m curious to understand how they are feeling during this time and what’s being discussed amongst their friends. While I’m recording this episode, we use an app for the first time and they share an app I’ve never heard of. Finally we talk about my favorite topic, reading. We share a love of reading and have bonded over Harry Potter in particular. Check out our chat:
