Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
The coverage surrounding COVID-19 is mostly pundits, politicians, and policy wonks yelling at each other. If you want to end the lockdown, they say you want old people to die. If you want to extend the lockdown, they say you want to destroy the economy. This leaves out the rest of us: that vast majority of everyday people who want to protect our physical health along with our economic health. Teachers, nurses, small business owners, and parents from coast to coast are being ignored. And we want to give all of you a voice.
In this symposium hosted by Bethany Mandel and Jon Gabriel we hear from Ricochet members across the country (and even in South Korea!) about how their lives have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We hear from an Oklahoman living in South Korea, a pet store worker in Minnesota, a soon to be retired aerospace employee in Washington State, and we listen to stories from Georgia, Maryland, Louisiana, Arizona, and New Hampshire.

I really got a lot out of this. Thanks.
Interesting session.
I would love if everyone identified themselves a little clearer (if willing to do so). Rushbabe49 was perfect but I missed everyone else’s names and/or Ricochet name so that I could make sure I check their posts – like the gentleman living in Korea. I think I’ve read some of his posts but would want to make sure I try to read them. Excellent session and great to hear from the middle of the US. I’m, unfortunately, in the DC swamp area.
@max or @blueyeti, can you do anything about the volume on this episode? I would love to listen to the entire thing, but I’m straining to hear it, even with the volume maxed out.
It would be nice if Jon got better gear
He should hire Dave Carter to set up a studio.
Wow I had no idea. I hadn’t even looked at it before.
Here I am to the rescue again. :-)
Try this, I boosted it 14 dB. !!! (I could have gone a little more, but there were some peaks I didn’t want to lose.)

If Yeti et al want to adopt this version as the new “official” one, that’s fine with me.
Tough to hear.
Thanks, @kedavis! I was able to listen to it at reasonable volume!
