Anna and I step out of the booth and find ourselves staring at the sky. We might be back, we might not.  We are going out, once more, to find our place in this new world and perhaps come back with more stories, guests and ideas. Until then, we give our thanks to all our guests, listeners and contributors. Stay healthy, wash your hand and wear a mask. 

Just listen to it - it will be just as quick!

In this episode we get to speak to Paulina Herrmann, a Food Service Consultant who takes us to the 'back of house' and gives us great insights into the current changes the hospitality industry is having to quickly adopt, its potential future and knock-on effects on causes that continue to need our immediate attention. 

In this episode Anna and I discuss some of the latest Covid-19 related news, experiments, research and chlorinated (reconstituted) chicken. From there we jump to the animal kingdom with updates on shark whale reproduction, geeky hummingbirds and the return of the bison to the UK.  

In this episode Anna and I had the chance to speak to Tara Bubb, who shares her isolation experience as someone who was already housebound in a pre-covid world. She imparts her wisdom on the subject and inspires us with her positive thinking.

In this Friday roundup, we talk about what the lack of funding means for the Arts, the lifting of travel bans in the UK and the parties you might want to attend or avoid. We also revive our chat about bird song with a curious snippet of news about Canadian sparrows.

Continuing our Pride Month celebrations, Anna and I share our experience of coming out, multiple times. Because we know that we never really stop coming out. Luckily, our community is working to change that. 

In this Friday roundup, Anna and I try not to melt away in the current heatwave and chat about the easing of lockdown, living at sea, the mass extinction heading our way and last but very much not least, the beauty of being free to express your sexual identity and the responsibility we carry for those who still need help to gain this freedom.

Today Anna and I talk to Lorenzo Piccoli, a researcher who spent his time in 'confinement' tracking domestic mobility restrictions in Europe and travel bans around the world. All that, whilst sharing a 25m2 space with his girlfriend in Paris.

Why is Juneteenth important? Anna and I learn about it in this episode. We also cover the Tulsa massacre, LGBTQ+ workplace protection, DACA memberships and what priests have been up to in response to Corona.
