795 Escaping the Pandemic with Podcasts

I smiled at the bus driver as he charged me the extortionate fare. I went in and took my seat. I drew the curtain, put on my headphones to drown out the noise of the engine, and loaded up my favourite podcast.

This podcast was about video games. It was gone for a while but it came back in recent times with new episodes.

I stared absentmindedly into space. In my line of sight was the new pandemic drone with its unblinking eye staring at me. I stuck my tongue out at it from behind my facemask and closed my eyes.

Some time later I was at my girlfriend's place. We had no clothes on, especially not facemasks. We were lying on the bed with the curtains drawn.

"How was the journey?" she asked.

"You know, same ol'. I had company though" I said, telling her the name of the podcast that we both listened to.

"They're back? New episodes?" she asked.

"Yeah"

"That's awesome. We really need them now." she said.
