Krista is Diné (also known as Navajo), and is a reporter for the Navajo Times, a daily newspaper out of Window Rock, Arizona.

- 50 - Day 315 (Sunday, January 24), Janet
Janet is a Korean-American mother of two navigating the expatriate life in Hong Kong, a not-quite-exactly-Chinese city struggling with the upheaval of massive political protests on top of COVID lockdowns. Stuck for more than a year in a tiny apartment with two small kids in a destabilized city where she doesn't speak the language while she watches her native Los Angeles suffer from afar, is it any wonder she feels torn and crazed and disconnected?
Thu, 11 Mar 2021 - 33min - 49 - Day 298 (Thursday, January 7), Naz
Naz had already taken on a huge responsibility when she moved in with her very elderly mother and became her caregiver. Then COVID hit, and the merely challenging became almost overwhelming. She dug deep, though, into her faith and her own strength, and found ways to not only push through but even see the blessings in the time they had together.

Mosaic NYC is a small neighborhood church that decided to open a food pantry last April, with the idea that it might help a few hundred neighbors who were suffering in the economic wake of COVID-19. Now, 9 months later, they are serving 2,000 families every week and the need continues to grow. We talk to Sofia, who has dedicated to herself to the project despite her own financial struggles.

Carletha knows how to work, there's no question about that, and she's been working very hard this year. Her job at an assisted living facility has been overfull of challenges and loss, her family is busting the seams of their apartment as they struggle with health challenges, and somehow she finds time to volunteer with the Red Cross and donate food, money, and time to neighbors whose struggles are even greater than her own.

- 42 - Day 125 (Friday, July 17), Candace
We’re back with new episodes after a short hiatus, starting with the conversation from July, where we checked in with Candace, our correspondent in Raleigh, North Carolina. After several months of forced unemployment, she found returning to restaurant business to be dangerous, exhausting, and ultimately untenable.
Thu, 17 Sep 2020 - 36min - 41 - Day 122 (Tuesday, July 14), Joshua S.
Yes, Georgia is a mess right now… and so is the criminal justice system. Courts are closed, people are sitting in jails waiting for trial, and no one knows how to move forward. All this and more in my conversation with Joshua Schiffer, Esq. of ChancoSchiffer, P.C., a criminal defense and civil rights lawyer in Atlanta.

- 38 - Day 96 (Thursday, June 18th), Angie
During a very strange and confusing week, where things seem to be improving here in New York and also going to heck just about everywhere else, we check in again with our very first guest, Angie – a graphic designer and mother of two who isn’t much more sure of where she stands at three months in than she was on day one.

- 34 - Day 67 (Wednesday, May 20), Kaliq
There's been a lot of support for doctors and nurses as they care for those who are entering the hospital with COVID-19... but far fewer are talking about those who care the worst cases as they leave. Let's hear from Kaliq, a technician at the office of the New York City Medical Examiner, one of the unsung heroes who process the dead.

- 27 - Day 27 (Saturday, April 11th), Phil
Despite all the politics and abstract philosophy that's creeping in to how most of the rest of the country is still talking about COVID-19, there's an actual disease at work here, and it's nasty business. Phil is my neighbor. He's a doctor. He got very sick with this damned virus and lived to tell the tale.

- 25 - Day 12 (Friday, March 27th), Candace
Candace, a rock and roller who was making a good living working in restaurants, moved from New York to North Carolina in search of a lower cost of living and reconnection with her family. Now she and her whole band are locked up together with no income. Difficulties abound, but optimism holds.

Mon, 13 Apr 2020 - 17min - 24 - Day 28 (Sunday, April 12th), Matt
For many of us, the only thing more frustrating than the constraints of quarantine have been the difficulties of accessing real help from the government. The severely overtaxed unemployment system is a dysfunctional mess, and other assistance is thin on the ground. I talked to my friend and colleague Matt - a successful freelance videographer here in New York - about the challenges of keeping himself afloat when he's not allowed to work.

With medical resources stretched beyond the breaking point, and hospitals barely able to keep up, what is it like to need medical care for some other reason? What in the world is it like for a New Yorker to have a BABY right now? I speak with expert NYC doula Megan Davidson about the unique challenges and hardships of giving birth in Covidville.
