In an unprecedented episode for unprecedented times, Jo & Adam “meet” in Zoom to reflect on the role of satire in the Age of Covid-19. From Animal Crossing to ‘graming endless loaves of sourdough, from PE with Joe Wicks to Yoga with Adrienne, the world has changed an awful lot since episode 2.6 was released just 6 weeks ago. One thing that hasn’t changed, though, is satire, and the way it placates the people in times of tremendous distress. Join us for a run down of the refuge and assistance satire and comedy have provided the people in recent weeks. Stay safe, remain indoors.
