I鈥檝e been a producer here at 黑料吃瓜网 since 2007, and since then, our team that鈥檚 reported on some really difficult times. And now? We鈥檙e all trying to make sense of this unprecedented era of Covid-19.
After we all started working from home, I kept seeing these painful stories of layoffs and panic. But there were also stories about the Helpers who are trying to make sense of all this, who are trying to ease the pain.
That鈥檚 who you鈥檒l hear from on this show. Every week, you鈥檒l hear from people who are struggling in the chaos of this virus, people who are helping get us through each day, and, because they have a much needed perspective, you鈥檒l hear from children.
In this inaugural episode, you'll meet a man living with OCD, and an expert on anxiety disorders. You'll meet a woman who is deciding what to do with her 20+ year-old cleaning business, and a grocery store manager who is making sense of new challenges for his customers and himself. And, you'll hear from three young people who are trying to understand this era of confinement.
