A Day in the Life Podcast

I created this podcast at the height of the pandemic with the intention to share stories of everyday people. In a time of isolation and division, it’s important to remember that we have more in common than we have differences.

A Day in the Life was born out of my interest in reconnecting with friends and acquaintances to learn more about what they actually do for work and in their day-to-day lives. Right now, I am not doing any new episodes, but please do feel free to explore past episodes.
