On tonight’s show we will feature a rebroadcast of an interview with Karen Russell conducted in October of 2020, so you will hear the audio glitches common to video conferencing and a few references to the current events of that time, when this plague was still in its first wave. There will also be a few references to the morning, as this was first broadcast at 7 AM.
