We revisit the strange times of the early 2020 Covid-19 pandemic social breakdown with interviews that never before graced the radiowaves of 89.3 WNUR, Northwestern University community radio across Evanston and North Chicago. At the time, we were locked down and out of the broadcasting studio. This interview was originally recorded on March 31st, 2020 with economist Eileen Applebaum about her article, “The U.S. Response to COVID-19: What’s in Federal Legislation and What’s Not, but Still Needed” written with Shawn Fremstad for CEPR. We consider it with 2023 hindsight and review the present week’s Question from Hell!
