375. Talking About Coping in the Time of Coronavirus (While Not Talking About Coping)

Viruses, coping mechanisms, and rants, oh my! In today’s off-the-cuff-totally-not-normal episode, Jen and Shaun turn their attention to discussing the things they’re doing to cope with this new pandemic situation we all find ourselves in. Only, that’s not exactly what this episode is about. It’s about coping. It’s about what’s going on right now. And it’s about some very honest feels regarding the nature of U.S. society from beyond the Corrupted Curtain. You might say that making this episode was part of the coping process. So if you’re interested in our rambles about COVID-19, the U.S. response, and even some of our personal coping mechanisms, this is the episode for you!

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy the episode!
