Our podcast will be running each and every day throughout lockdown, keeping you company, keeping you connected, and sharing your lockdown stories and experiences.

Host Nik Farah will be inviting a different local voice to take a seat on the virtual couch every day, for as long as lockdown lasts – talking about Covid-19’s impact on your jobs, mental health, relationships, and life-changing events.
