    Quarantine, Revisited
    Jul 15 2025
    Five years ago, in the summer of 2020, Meredith Goldstein and the Love Letters team were in lockdown because of the pandemic, making the podcast from separate closets and basements. In their personal lives, they were asking: how can we remain isolated without losing support from community? How can live with loved ones …. without getting sick of them? They found answers by interviewing two people who were already experts in being alone, together: Glenn and Kim Schryver, who fell in love and chose an remote life as caretakers of the Grizzly Reservoir. Meredith revisits this episode and its meaning, five years later. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
