“Yes I’m available let’s do it!” – Audio in lockdown

BEFORE I START:

Lockdown is utterly crap. Let’s not ignore that, or glibly pretend otherwise. I collected a dance costume for my daughter today and the lady who made it said “Thank you so much. That’s all I’ve sold this week and it will pay for this week’s groceries”.

So, having had that rather mood-crushing dose of reality, and acknowledging that we’re not saving lives here, I’m still going to write this blog post about the unforeseen upside of lockdown for those of us who make podcasts.
