Over the past year of on and off shelter in place restrictions, so many of us discovered–and in some cases, rediscovered–places that helped us get through those times. A park we had never known about. A room in our home that was rarely used. A path we had walked passed many times before but never traveled upon. What was your pandemic place? We talk with journalists Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley, co-authors of the forthcoming book, Until Proven Safe which examines quarantines from medieval Venice to outer space to reveal new ideas about quarantine.

Guests:

Geoff Manaugh, author, "BLDGBLOG"

Nicola Twilley, co-host, Gastropod; contributor, the New Yorker, co-author, "Until Proven Safe"
