Which is why today I think it’s really important that you and we get to hear a lovely conversation with the podcaster, writer and comedian Allison Raskin. Me, myself throughout these strange days, I’ve had low moments where I’ve just wanted to wrap myself in a blanket and not talk to anybody. I know it’s difficult to really get a sense of what day and month it is, but it’s still March, which means it’s still Women’s History Month, and it’s also time of a lot of anxiety. But what have you been doing? What have you been up to to keep safe? What are your parents and siblings doing? Are they doing jigsaws like mine and quizzes and all sorts to really keep intimacy and connection in this time that in many ways rids us of both. And yet, I have decided that in this period I’m going to grow tomatoes, so I will keep you updated. Do you know how much work cactuses take to keep alive? Very little. I say this with you needing to understand that I have let cactuses die in my time. Two days ago, after the influence of my friend, I ordered tomato seeds, compostable pots and compost because I’ve decided that I am now going to develop an interest and an ability to garden and grow plants. What have you been up to? What have you found time to do? I’ll let you into a secret. So we will continue to bring you interesting, provocative conversations to be a guide and a comfort and a support, particularly if you’re on your own at the minute. Sinéad Burke: But this show will be here and constant because the ability to be able to record this in the comfort and safety of my own home is such a gift, genuinely. So I’m staying in one place, entertaining my siblings and my family that they would question if it’s entertaining. We could infect the most vulnerable around us. That even though you and I may be relatively young and healthy, this isn’t about us, because we could be carriers. I’ve been so intrigued by so much of the commentary at the minute asking people to be selfless, not selfish in this moment. But we’re the privileged few, right? Because we have the privilege of worrying about work or worrying about if it will exist after this moment calms. Or perhaps many of us lost our jobs and there is no work. We’ve had to get used to working from new spaces. This week has been challenging, I think, for many of us. And as you might have imagined, I’m recording this from home, from my bedroom, actually. Sinéad Burke: Hello and welcome to As Me with Sinéad. Then, writer, comedian, and Just Between Us podcast host Allison Raskin joins Sinéad for a long conversation about anxiety and mental health. Sinéad shares a bit about how she’s coping with staying at home, and what working from home means for disabled people.
