Death, Sex & Money's Coronavirus Reading List - a podcast by WNYC Studios

As we limit our face-to-face interactions and watch more news about the COVID-19 pandemic roll in, it’s important to find community in other ways. That could look like hopping on the phone or FaceTime with loved ones; stockpiling medicine, cleaning supplies, and food to share; and finding creative ways to keep our spirits up in a confusing and difficult time.

All of us at Death, Sex & Money encourage you to continue to reach out as we move through this together. You can share your thoughts, tips, and concerns at deathsexmoney@wnyc.org. We're also going to be touching base with you all more often via our newsletter—if you're not signed up already, you can subscribe here.
