G-day and welcome to the Pandemy Show. Thanks for joining us as we unite humanity through stories of hope, connection, and community in the face of the global pandemy. Dave transcends time and space to talk with Sean McCammon on the Waterloo Moraine in Kitchener, Ontario. Sean shares how he has been working with his squad to teach outdoor education virtually. Sean and the nature squad have been running virtual bird counts, monster tree hunts, and milk week hunts for butterflies. He shares what it’s like to released his new book, Outside, during the pandemy. Many years ago Sean made friends to last a life time working at a camp for campers with diabetes. They recently had a virtual bon fire and Sean said it was a shocker how positive the experience was. Connecting with nature, especially during the pandemy is key. Too many of us suffer from nature deficit disorder. Nurture nature!

G’day and welcome to the Pandemy Show. Stories of the pandemy, for the people of the pandemy. Dave transcends time and space to talk with Michael Leung in Peterborough, Ontario. Michael expects the variant strain numbers to increase and take over the original virus interms of infection rates. Our communities are becoming petri dishes, where every new infection becomes an opportunity for a new variant which could potentially evade the vaccine. They discuss the potential impacts of vaccine inequity. Michael points out that if the vaccine works the initial conditions that caused the vaccine are still there. Michael and Dave discuss the economy and how market conditions favour the large operator despite the fact the virus spreads best when people congregate in large numbers. Dave shares his outrage that Long Term Care Providers transferred public wealth to the private sector when given government money to protect our seniors from the deadly pandemy.
Cities are petri dishes:

Today’s musical snack is from Carmen Hanna from Carmen and the Whistle Pigs as she sings the folk classic, Old Groundhog. The pandemy has brought many changes to our lives.

Sam, Phil, and their handlers predictions were online for the public to consume. No one has seen Wiarton Willie, although a weather prediction was proclaimed. This ones for Willie, hope you are alright.
If anyone knows if Willie’s alright please let us know.

Dave zooms to downtown Toronto to talk with Lisa Humber about her pandemy experiences as a member of the Arts Community. The pandemy made her realize all time is precious as life can change so quickly. Lisa passed through the Hong Kong airport in January 2020 and her gut told her the world was about to change. The pandemy has stopped Lisa from working in live theatre and made arts workers another casualty of covid. Lisa encourages everyone to be brave and not to get lost in the fear and anxiety of uncertainty. We are adapting to our circumstances.

Dave zooms to Montreal to talk to Hal Jaques. Hal shares with Dave that when the pandemy started he heard it would be 12-19 months before a vaccine would be in play.

He misses making music with his band and feels like parts of his life are on hold. Hal sees the light at the end of the tunnel and like all the people of the pandemy looks forward to Spring as we enjoy the winter.

Angela shares how Queen Street is a ghost town with an increasing number of closed store fronts. Angela and her partner have navigated the pandemy caretaking for her Mother.

Dave talks to Dave about the changes in his tech industry lifestyle as they celebrate talking on 01/21/21 during the 21 hour, the 21 minutes, and the 21 second. Dave moved from an apartment to a small house as the pandemic marched on and although the pandemy hasn’t changed his workaholic lifestyle much he is loving backyard birding. His techie background enlightens us to the great embrace of technology that started 20 years ago with the dot com bubble. People who have never zoomed, are zooming! Couch community technologies (hardware, streaming, etc.) are tracking up as new demographics use them to cope with the pandemy. They end the interview by discussing Groundhog Day and the latest species to be predicting the arrival of Spring, Lucy the Lobster in Nova Scotia.
Dave talks to Barb, a fellow feather fancier about how she misses travelling, attending shows, and is looking forward to getting her dog breed after the pandemy. She shares how vaccines and antibiotics are one of the reasons humans can live in such large populations. While some people gained a lot of weight and drank more in the pandemy, not Barb. She has changed her diet and increased her physical activity and lost 55 pounds! Barb, sadly, lives in an area where the pandemy has given local religious extremists a platform they don’t deserve. Unmasked and aggressive Covid deniers roam the streets of her community making it feel unsafe.
Dave talks with Sukh about how the pandemy triggered his PTSD from a near death experience with meningococcal meningitis. He identifies the pandemy of loneliness. Sukh, a front line worker, discusses the importance of art and how he hopes we can collectively log off and seek human connection as we get through the pandemy and beyond. Sukh hopes opposing view points can listen to one another and be heard. At the end of the show Dave read’s Pandemy Blossom. A new poem inspired by Sarah Harmer’s twitter post about Mount Nemo being back up for development consideration and a blossoming Christmas Cactus. Sukh than shares, “We became more connected disconnected when we replace sunshine with memes of sunsets.” Dave and Sukh are inspired and the two agree to work on a dance hall anthem, a real banger.
Dave talks with Novella about how the pandemy lead her back to the land, homesteading, and urban farming. They discuss how everyone has to draw their own boundaries to feel safe, the importance of making connections with plant communities, long lines at food banks, and basic income.

Novella shares that the Capital Hill Insurrection may not have occurred if people hadn’t been driven mad by the pandemy. When asked what life will be like after Covid, Novella shares the theory that we may be entering the age of pandemies.

Dave talks to James about getting off a plane in Toronto before it takes off for Los Angeles on March 17, 2020. He shares how LA’s toilet paper shortage foreshadowed Toronto’s 5 days later. James ended up going to LA in July and shares the stark differences between Canada and the US. She also shares his experience quarantining off-grid in the bush for 14 days. James shares an obvious observation of the pandemy, it’s easier to survive with money. Which makes us hope for and wonder about how marginalized people are doing?

Magda shares with Dave what it's like raising baby Stefan in a pandemic. Physical distancing in parks with a young family is one thing, what will winter be like? We discuss working online, child care, bubbles, and looking forward to summer. Philly missed the July spike but numbers are trending upwards as the next wave comes in. The power of community and creating, shines hope during these dark pandemy times. Caught in the pandemy with the rest of us, Magda and her family find comfort in meal exchanges, writing and lullabies, and prison reform.

Mo and Dave debate the merits of his ethical meat project, Buttercup, and discuss the importance of protecting the wild places for future generations.
Rebecca talks to Dave about what it has been like living in Rural NorCal as a Bay Area transplant. We hear about what it’s like on the front lines as an essential worker. Balancing work and keeping one’s family safe is precarious balance. Especially in a pandemy plagued by wildfires, structural inequality, and the politicalization of the virus.
Eric talks to Dave about coming home from camping with his family in the North African desert after March Break to a very different reality as a result of the Covid 19. He started working remotely, eventually making his way back to New Zealand with his wife and three children. The island state of New Zealand has been able to take a different approach from North America, an ambitious policy of eradication, so Kiwis can live worry free while their children attend birthday parties in person.
Jamie talks to Dave about how separation from family and friends can take its toll during the pandemy. Jamie lives with his wife in Phnom Penh at the confluence of the Basak, Sab, and Mekong River system. He shares how masks are normal wear in Southeast Asia, he identifies that our dependence on technology is changing our socialization, and how families in remote areas are using Scarecrows to ward of Covid 19.
Thomas talks to Dave from his family’s home in Hanoi about the importance of contact tracing, the power of collective action to address a public health issue, the bum gun’s roll in preventing toilet paper shortages, the role of government and industry during a global pandemic, politicization of the pandemy in the west, how Vietnam learned from SARS, having a 9 month old newborn, cyber security and economics. We are left wondering if the bum gun is something we should culturally appropriate in the west? Dave started off this episode with a poem, Antibodies With Our Love, inspired by Dr. Osterholm’s poem on the Ousterholm Update: Covid from Centre for Infectious Research and Policy IDRAP @ University of Minnesota, but was advised to end with poetry not lead.
Megs talks to Dave from Quarantine with her family of four having just moved from Ontario, Canada back to her country of origin. Megs shares the challenges and tribulations of the expensive move to during the start of a global pandemic! Like mandatory covid tests, mouth swap and a 3-4 second swoosh, the cost of travel and quarantine, Australian Covid-19 app, the rise in calls for poisonous snake removal and what the government is doing to combat wildfires. We peel back the many layers of the pandemy onion in this interview and are left wondering, will Megs get to see her Mother and will their dog in BC Canada ever get through?
Meredith, in Sheffield U.K. by the River Don, talks to Dave about having a Quarintino Bambino at the start of a global pandemic, raising a newborn without extended family, Toronto Raptors, NHL Bubble, covid curls & long hair, and pub culture.
