0:00.0	I'm Natalie Moore. I fell in love with soap operas when I was just five years old, and I still
0:06.1	watch them. Their television's longest scripted series and have zero reruns. Now let me tell you,
0:12.7	soap operas aren't just some silly art form. They are significant. In this season of making,
0:18.0	Stories Without End from WB EZ Chicago.
0:25.7	Join me as I share how the genre began, their social impact, and why these stories endure.
0:28.3	Listen wherever you get your podcast.
0:37.3	From WBEZ Chicago, this is Nerdette.
0:38.3	I'm Greta Johnson. We did it.
0:39.3	We made it to another weekend.
0:40.3	Coming up, our resident epidemiologist says we can take a collective, unmasked breath around COVID.
0:47.3	What we're talking about is, you know, just living your life over the summer and wait and see if something new is coming and you start

Okay. So I think we need to start this week on a slightly more serious note than normal maybe by talking about Ukraine. Russia is
1:29.1	continuing its attacks. The UN is estimating nearly two million Ukrainians have fled the
1:34.2	country. This is obviously a quickly developing and extremely intense and devastating story.
1:41.0	But there have been some pretty heartwarming stories of Ukrainians standing up for their country or people helping refugees as well. Just this morning I was talking with a couple coworkers about this woman who was tweeting about the fact that like garbage is still getting picked up in Kiev, which I just think is so amazing to think about like those workers who are like, no, we're going to go out and still make sure that people can get their trash picked up.
2:04.0	What do you think, Jacoby?
2:05.8	Like, have there been any stories from this conflict that you found particularly inspiring?
2:10.8	Greta, I'm going to do a yes and kind of response.
2:14.6	Cool.
