MICHIGAN, US: How to learn from pandemic literature/The Magic of Cold Showers I Season 2 Ep16

Coexisting

Day 109 Redford, Michigan we speak to Terry in his bedroom, in a part of the world that had the first large outbreaks of the virus in the United States.

We connected over a well-loved audio project initially and I invited Terry to speak. I loved Terry's beautiful quiet way of conjuring a space. We talk libraries and sound, the novel Camus' the Plague and what it can teach us about the end of the pandemic and how to look after yourself and your mental health in these tough times.

Oh and yes, a personal fave of mine - the magic of cold showers!
