Episode 22: Corona Tales: New York City

This week's episode looks back at New York City one year ago, from the perspective of two people living there when it was the epicenter of the coronavirus in the world. Comedian Dustin Hempstead wasn't just living in Manhattan when the city shut down—he was one of the first New Yorkers to get the virus. Dustin takes us through what Covid felt like and the strain it put on his ex-girlfriend who gave it to him, and other moments that stuck with him through the experience.
