S2 -02 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: The Arts, Covid 19, and PTSD. Sukh Champa, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada 01/11/21
Dave talks with Sukh about how the pandemy triggered his PTSD from a near death experience with meningococcal meningitis. He identifies the pandemy of loneliness. Sukh, a front line worker, discusses the importance of art and how he hopes we can collectively log off and seek human connection as we get through the pandemy and beyond. Sukh hopes opposing view points can listen to one another and be heard. At the end of the show Dave read’s Pandemy Blossom. A new poem inspired by Sarah Harmer’s twitter post about Mount Nemo being back up for development consideration after the community worked for years to have it protected and a blossoming Christmas Cactus. Sukh than shares, “We became more connected disconnected when we replace sunshine with memes of sunsets.” Dave and Sukh are inspired and the two agree to work on a dance hall anthem, a real banger.
