Last Thursday, Shel and I recorded the sixth weekly ZoomChat where we engage in informal discussion with FIR listeners. Each episode is typically up to an hour although I’m usually there only for the first 30 minutes (part of my Zoom fatigue management). This episode is just over the hour. In this episode, the conversation ranged wide as usual, from the fun and games of lockdown life with kids (and without grandkids); views on lockdowns far and wide across the US, in Brazil and in the UK; face masks and big brands; economic challenges for all of us, now and what’s coming; comparative experiences encountered in our day-to-day lives and in previous years; and much more. Watch Now You can also listen to or download the MP3 audio file. Join us on Thursday May 7 at 1pm EDT / 6pm UK time for the next episode of FIR Zoom Chat. You’ll need the specific Zoom URL for this meeting: contact Shel or Neville for that; or via the contact page on the FIR website, or @FIRpodcast. (Photo at top by Aldric RIVAT on Unsplash)
