Welcome to the Making Sense podcast.

This is Sam Harris.

Okay, well, been locked down for about a month here, a little over a month on my side.

This is an increasingly surreal experience.

Anyway, I hope you're all staying reasonably sane and healthy.

I just want to express my gratitude for all of you who can't actually lock down because

you're serving some essential function in society.

Off-care workers, frontline responders, those of you who are working in the supply chain,

delivering packages and food, working in markets and pharmacies.

We're all incredibly lucky to have you and totally dependent on you.

So thank you for what you're doing.

This episode of the podcast is yet another PSA.

I think I've had four or five of those in a row, so you will not hit a paywall here.

Staying on the pandemic, we're putting out in its entirety.

But just to remind you, if you care about getting all of my podcast content, the only way

to actually do that is to subscribe at samherris.org.

And also apologies for the sound in this episode.

It's been my general practice of late to bring people into studios and record them professionally.

The pandemic has made that impossible.

We've been sending people microphones so they can record from home, but we can't control

all the variables in their environment and how that works out.

So you'll hear some strange acoustics for one of our speakers today.
