Episode 107: “Bro, even thinking about that is giving me heart palpitations.”
Happy Coronaversary, “Currently Obsessed” listeners! It’s wild to think it’s been a year since COVID-19 turned the world upside down, and March marks the yearly milestone for the World Health Organization’s declaration of the pandemic, Southern California shutdowns from Disneyland to dining, and more.
For this episode, “Currently Obsessed” hosts Christine and Danielle try to take a lighter spin on this pandemiversary by talking through their short-term and long-term plans post-pandemic. From indoor dining and haircuts to visiting Disneyland and indie bookstores, they chat all about their refreshed bucket lists for the new new normal in the (hopefully) near future.
