Covid roulette

Sadly our Covid Roulette podcast series has come to an end. But … the last few episodes were super interesting.

Episode 15 - Alistair, was recorded at the safe injecting room in Richmond. Alistair who uses heroin talks about the challenges he faced during the pandemic, Peter who also uses the facility talks about his homeless friends and explains what happened to them, and Dr Nico Clark who runs the facility discusses how they managed … and the worries and impacts on staff and clients.

Then in Episode 16 - Katia and Sue - many of you may know them from our Peer Support Playgroup - talk about their family’s recent bout of Covid, their hospital experiences (they both went, and to different hospitals) … and the impacts of the pandemic on people with ‘underlying health conditions’.

Our final episode, Episode 17 - Pat, features a wrap up from two doctors at Austin Health - Pat Charles and Andrew Casamento. They talk about the effectiveness of the vaccines etc. and what they are experiencing in the health system now. It is super to get access to this information … and very helpful.

So … we hope you take a listen here or on your favourite podcast listening app - just search for Covid Roulette on Sporify, Google, Amazon or Apple etc.
