March 2020
Where were you when you first heard the term "social distancing"? Various callers from across the country answer this question and more in voicemails that were collected during the first few weeks of the pandemic in March of 2020. My collaborator Tina Antolini and I eventually collected enough voicemails to make 5 short thematic pieces from the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
