Episode 46 - The India Plague of 1994, or How We Spent Our 23 Month Coronavirus Quarantine
This super-sized forty-sixth episode is legitimately way too much - everyone involved would agree. But in order to cover (briefly) the events of the plague on the sub-continent in 1994 and (more expansively) everything personally connected to the COVID pandemic of 2020, 2021, 2022, and so on requires a whole bundle of time! Sarah & Joe take us on a rollercoaster of emotion, swinging from discussions about all the breads and pastries made over the past two years to passionate worry about the end of American democracy as we know it. Many, many topics pop up along the way - the popular TV shows of the lockdown, the Insurrection of January 6th, video games played and quiz/learning websites obsessed over, opinions over the single most destructive person of our lifetime, new and old music discovered with year-end Spotify calculations, puzzles and board games, the villainous manipulations of the GOP, the formulation and continued creation of this show, and the karaoke app Smule, which produces possibly the single best moment in It Happened One Year history. Running the same amount of time as Eegah: The Name Written in Blood and Toy Story 2, this episode falls somewhere between the two as far as linear coherence and sparkling entertainment!
