Hello again, and welcome to another episode of Social
Sci-Fi.
Before we get started, I would like to apologize for how late
this episode is coming to you and assure you that it was recorded
before official quarantine began. It has been a rough couple of
months. While I would rather be quarantined in the Gee Cave
consuming media and creating content, I have still had to go to
work.
It's been rough on my mental health and as much as I love
editing this podcastn I couldn't do it. When you have four tracks
that are about two hours and ten minutes long, that's a lot of
pushing through depression to get finished. This feels like a HUGE
accomplishment and I hope you enjoy it. There is a little
lighthearted joking about what we thought was only going to be a
few weeks of quarantine. We were taking it seriously, I deep
cleaned and disinfected my house before having everyone over even
though we were pretty certain we had not been exposed. There
were a lot of things we didn't know at the time, and had we known
more it would have been discussed in a more serious tone.
Besides working and fighting an exhausting battle with anxiety
and depression, I have been making masks because it I needed some
for myself to feel safe leaving the house and wanted to make sure
friends, family, and a few neighbors had them too. I am still
making masks with my limited time because I need to feel like I am
doing something to help, but I am trying to get back into doing the
things I love because it is good for my mental health.
Take a short break from the stress and have a listen. If you
haven't already listened to part one check it out here first. You're about to listen to
part two of a special two part episode. We watched and
discussed the second three episodes of the Amazon Original
miniseries Good Omens. We also discussed the book it was
based on, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes
Nutter, Witch. Written by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett and
published in 1990.
Thanks for joining us, plug in your headphones and enjoy. Don't
forget to check out the links for our guests and for other things
