Covid Conversations: Life in a Time of Corona
Launching in September 2020, Covid Conversations: Life in a Time of Corona is a 12-part monthly podcast series from the Center for Folklore Studies at The Ohio State University. Produced and presented by the British-born and Columbus-based folklorist and radio producer Rachel Hopkin, each Covid Conversations episode features two guests – one from Ohio and one from a different part of the world – who share a distinct arts- and/or humanities-related professional or personal identity. Over the course of their conversation, the paired participants discuss and compare how their parallel involvements in the arts and humanities have informed their experience of life during the Coronavirus pandemic in their respective homes. Covid Conversations: Life in a Time of Corona is funded by an OSU Global Arts and Humanities Discovery grant.
