Hey you! Tell us about your pandemic life - a podcast by ABC Radio

We're working on an episode about how Australians have been coping through the pandemic, and we want your stories.

We want to know what’s been getting you through the tough times, and what you’re most looking forward to when this is all behind us.

How can you tell us?  You just need to use your smartphone to record yourself telling a story.

It can be sad, happy, funny, weird -- like maybe you got a new hobby, or re-discovered an old one, or made an unexpected friend, and that helped get you through. Maybe you’re looking forward to travelling the world, seeing your children again … or just a cold beer at the pub.

Whatever it is, put it into a voice recording, and we’ll share it in a special episode of All in the Mind.

To record:

Find a quiet room and open up the voice memo app on your smartphone.

If you don't have one installed, search for a voice memo app in your app store.

Hold the phone's microphone (located at the base of the phone) about 15-20cm from your mouth.

Press the red 'record' button and share your thoughts.

Once you're finished, hit the record button again to stop, then press done and save the recording with a name.

If you're unhappy with what you've recorded, just re-do it.

When you've got your recording, you should be able to 'send' or 'share' it via email to mind_rn@abc.net.au.

Remember to include your name and the area you live so we can credit you on the podcast.
