Lockdown Lemonade
Andrew Keith Walker
Lockdown Lemonade captures the brighter side of social distancing with comedy and real life conversations about the Coronavirus lockdown, hosted by writer, podcaster and secret ukulele teacher Andrew Keith Walker. After selling out of the London tech start-up scene Andrew left his daily grind in the big city behind and moved to the country to work as a freelance writer... and although he didn’t realise it at the time, being a writer turned out to be the career equivalent of self-isolation. Now in lockdown he's seeing more of people than ever before via video chats, so he's sharing their wins, fails, weirdness and life lessons from the strange days we're living through. Because when life gives you Lockdown, make Lockdown Lemonade.
