After a few days off to really focus on earthworms, I'm back to the recording studio with a great old friend, new guest, Max. Max and I catch up on how social distancing is playing out in my favorite western suburb of Cleveland before deep-diving into speculating about what could... if we play our cards right... come out right from all the grief, pain and isolation of COVID-19. We're not saying it's a sure bet or a fair trade-off, but something good must come of all this, right?
We're also making lots and lots of recommendations for great reading and other entertainment consumption. Here's a quick rundown:
Max's picks:
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood (and, of course, The Blind Assassin)
Joseph's Machines (Rube Goldberg machines, that is)
Reanna's picks:
The Library Book by Susan Orlean
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Caen Hill Countryside Centre's Twitter feed
