Summary

My friend Erica Heilman has a podcast called Rumblestrip. She drives around Vermont and talks to people about their lives. Last week she was sitting at home, like everybody, trying to figure out what to do, and she decided to ask her listeners to send her audio recordings of what and how they’re doing under self isolation. A lot of people responded, quickly, and within a couple days Erica posted the first episode of a series she’s calling Our Show.

If you’d like to send Erica an audio recording of what’s happening where you are, here’s the email address: [email protected].

0:00.0	Welcome to Home of the Brave. I'm Scott Carrier. Everything's okay so far here at my home base in Salt Lake. The air is clean and the city is quiet. It's been
0:15.8	snowing off and on and the mountains are rising up like a great white wave
0:20.8	about to crash down on all the homes and city parks and shopping malls.
0:27.0	Ten days ago, we had an earthquake that shook our homes, and the golden angel on top of the Mormon temple dropped his long trumpet that he's supposed to play
0:36.7	when Jesus comes back.
0:39.2	So it's not the end of the world, more like a holding pattern where every day more things fall apart.
0:46.4	Shaky ground.
0:48.0	I'm holding on and I hope you are as well.
0:52.3	My friend Erica Heilman has a podcast called Rumble Strip. She
0:56.6	drives around Vermont and talks to people about their lives. Last week she was
1:02.0	sitting at home like everybody else trying to figure out what to do and she decided to ask her listeners to send her audio recordings of what and how they're doing under self isolation. A lot of people
1:16.9	respond quickly and within a couple of days Erica posted the first episode of a series she's calling our show. I think it's

1:32.2	to Erica about her plans for the series.
1:35.0	Here's the first episode of our show.
1:39.0	Welcome to Rumble Strip.
1:41.0	Oh, oh. Rumble Strip. This is Tristan. He got really drunk and recorded this for the show from Tasmania where he lives and where he's living mostly in isolation like the rest of us.
2:00.0	It's amazing, an entire planet of people living mostly in isolation or those of us lucky
2:07.0	enough to be well.
2:08.0	It's the darkest thing to happen in my lifetime, but also strangely the most unifying, we're all experiencing the very same thing
2:16.0	at the same time, but not together, which is why I wanted to make this show.
2:21.6	I asked you to send me recordings from where you are so we could make a show about all of us and you
