Summary

Paris has been closed down for about six weeks now and everyone's life has changed. Last week I checked in on friends of the show to hear about how the city looks different. 

This week I'm talking with three Paris influential online personalities to hear how the Paris lockdown has affected their respective businesses.

Here are the links to the guests, how you can find them online, and where you can hear them in this slightly longer episode. 

(From 2.40) Carin Olsson from Paris In Four Months, talking about how being an Instagram influencer and photographer means work has totally dried up for the foreseeable future. Her Instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/parisinfourmonths/

(From 18.20) Lindsey Tramuta from Lost In Cheeseland talking about how her new book "The New Parisienne" has had a delayed publication. Her Instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/lostncheeseland/

(From 35.50) Sophie Nadeau talking about how her popular travel blog Solo Sophie has seen the statistics nosedive. Her Instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/sophieannenadeau/

That's it! I've got pictures from all the guests, I'm adding them to The Earful Tower site now.
