Stereo-Topical: Recent Episodes
Stereo Topical
Welcome to Stereo-Topical. Our goal is to have in-depth, thought-provoking conversations about a myriad of topics surrounding society, technology, politics, and more. Co-hosted by Ian Collins and Drew Lytton.
In this episode, recorded on Easter Day: 04/12/2020 (nearly a month after our initial episode on the Coronavirus pandemic), Drew and Ian discuss the lasting effects of the current pandemic on our society. While we as a society are still in the middle of our fight with this virus, we seem to be approaching a new phase where we begin to figure out how to exit extreme isolation while preserving public health. Given the sudden nature of major changes across the globe, there is no doubt that life after COVID-19 will be different than it was just a few short months ago.
Some of the changes we discuss include:
Consumer Habits
Politics & Public Institutions
Trade & Economics
Business & Supply Chains
Media & Journalism
