Check One.

Check One.

Looks like I'm recording.

My voice sounds silky smooth and fresh.

Hey Jim.

Hey, Catherine.

What's new?

These unemployment numbers.

I thought that was the first thing you were going to mention to me.

No, you tell me.

Okay, well, it was 3 million, a couple days ago ago and that was big news that the 3 million people had filed for unemployment.

Now it's more than double that, it seems 6.65 million people last week filing for unemployment.

But I personally know people also who are losing their jobs now in journalism too.

And even, I mean, what is the plan like the yeah we have to completely close down the

economy to not have millions of people die what What's our plan for that? This is a whole episode in itself, but I can say it's

going to be constant bailouts and stimulus packages and I would like to throw out the idea that potentially

journalistic institutions could be as well.

I don't think anybody cares about the journalists right now.

Don't they want the information though?

I mean I feel like people appreciate some of the

having knowledge about the virus right listen I have a more pressing question

okay than the future of journalism sorry I'm almost out of food you are almost out of food. You are almost out of food. Yeah. What are you going to do about that? Well that's my question. So at this point I mean I've gotten kind of actually genuinely a bit scared of going outside.
