From the episode description: Krista interviewed the wise and wonderful writer Ocean Vuong on March 8, 2020 in a joyful, crowded room full of podcasters in Brooklyn. A state of emergency had just been declared in New York around a new virus. But no one guessed that within a handful of days such an event would become unimaginable...
I was IN THIS ROOM on the day this interview was taped and watched it live, shoulder to shoulder with my fellow podcast lovers, tears streaming down my face. The room was so still -- we all hung on Krista and Ocean's every word.
Three days later we were in full lockdown. So this one's special to me, and special in general. Being a part of that has become a core memory for me.
