Covid-Conversations
James Cavanagh
This podcast is the product of sheer boredom, resulting from continuous bickering and family infighting during quarantine. From time to time I'll be sitting down with my parents to unpick their brains during the COVID-crisis and hopefully answer some of your questions along the way.
Episode 4 - The Social Drinking Pod
Bored? Want to treat yourselves to a drink on a quiet Sunday night? Well look no further, Tim and Jane are on hand to help! Welcome to the Covid-Conversations drinking game edition. So pick your poison and come join in the festivities.  In this episode, Tim and Jane dish out some pertinent career advice for young professionals in this day and age, we discuss the Dutch government's latest bit of advice for how to handle loneliness during Corona times, and what do we prefer: Dutch directness or British politeness?  Enjoy!

Episode 2 - The 420 Special
It's the 420 special, so I've invited my parents to join in on the festivities and record a podcast. It was a struggle. Enjoy.

If you find Tim please return him home at your earliest convenience.  Action Homeless: https://actionhomeless.org.uk/

Episode 1 - The Pilot
Welcome to the first instalment of Covid-Conversations. I've invited my parents to share their opinions on all things life, love and philosophy during these Corona times and I'll be asking them to impart their wisdom regarding all sorts of topics that, quite frankly, they don't have much of a clue about.  We're all in this together though, therefore we want this to be your podcast as much as it is ours. So please feel free to send in any questions or topics you'd like Jane and Tim to answer and, of course, any feedback is always welcome! This podcast is just a bit of fun and an easy way to pass the time, so we hope you can enjoy it too. Cheers! NOTE: Also, we recognise how lucky we are to be able to come together as a family and record this. Sadly, however, not everybody is as fortunate. Many families within some of our most vulnerable communities have been badly afflicted by Covid-19, so if you would like to do your bit to help during these tough times please help donate to FareShare (link below) or any other national/local charity of your choice. Every little helps.  FareShare: https://fareshare.org.uk/help-us/
