The Vancouver Sun's legislative journalist Rob Shaw shares what it's like to cover the COVID-19 pandemic - and the BC government's response - from the BC Legislature (or as the case has been, via teleconference). We talk about how the reporter's job has changed in recent months, the communications challenges associated with getting the word out to the public on COVID-19, and the distinct advantages of actually being able to ask BC Provincial Health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry or Health Minister Adrian Dix a question we *all* want to know the answer to. Rob also takes a moment to talk about about mindfulness, meditation, and taking the time for self-care and being kind to oneself during this health crisis.

The Pandemic Playlist with Paula Waatainen and Charlotte McDonald

The Places Between is Lesli Boldt's new pod is about the people and places between the time before the COVID-19 pandemic, and the future we’d like to create as we navigate out of this crisis. You won’t find any doom and gloom here! Two or three times a week, we'll talk to friends, family, colleagues and people we admire about the cool stuff they’re doing to get through this crisis, whether it’s a lot of bread baking, providing leadership through these tough times, keeping fit, changing business models to keep their businesses going, the music people are listening to right now, and much more.
