The COVID lockdowns actually improved my social life
I live in a rural area, don't socialise locally. All my friends from my before life in London were dispersed, so my social life was after work stuff generally
Lockdown hit, so I started an online community radio show and chat group. It was wild, folks loved it. I reconnected with old friends and we talk most days now. Connections I thought I'd lost
We meet up and do shit now. Work drinks a distant memory
@Twoclownseating During lockdowns I met a guy on Twitter who lived near me. Like me, he had a radio degree but hadn’t been able to use it, so was pondering setting up an online station.
I ended up helping him out with it, and doing my own couple of hours a week on air. It was great.
Turns out it’s real hard work and costs a bit to do it legit, so it fell apart after a year or so. Still it was fun.
