Summary

Despite location restrictions, Mike Graham (in studio) and Matt Kelly (self-isolating at home - via phone) still manage to come together for a meeting of minds as they discuss the latest goings on with the coronavirus pandemic. How will the world operate on the other side? Why do certain people change their behaviour so dramatically during times like these? How have the government reacted? And what about those people stuck at home who really don't want to - or shouldn't - be? It's all discussed here, as well as a bit of (related) football, movie and celebrity chat as the Thought Police continue to keep their heads while the world around them are losing theirs...

Subscribe from your favourite podcast provider so you never miss an episode with new ones dropping at least once (but hopefully twice) weekly during these unprecedented times. You can find the show on Twitter: @ThoughtPoliceTP and email the show via: thoughtpolicepod@gmail.com.

And remember, if you're feeling low or anxious or in need of a chat, pick up the phone. You don't have to suffer alone.
