I\u2019m writing and recording this from my home office. I imagine at this point, COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, has affected your life in some way. Maybe you\u2019re quarantined at home; maybe you\u2019re a business owner who\u2019s wondering what measures like social distancing will do your business; or maybe you\u2019re just trying to navigate what is shaping up to be one of the weirdest times in our collective history. Either way, there\u2019s a lot going on.

We decided to bring you a special edition of the GBH Collective podcast, checking in with our team of writers and editors across the globe. Our team has always consisted of folks reporting from their corners of the world, and this global crisis is no exception. One thing I\u2019ve always appreciated about working for Good Beer Hunting is our willingness to be frank and have open conversations \u2026 and that includes bringing you folks\u2014our listeners, supporters, and fellow beer professionals\u2014in on how we\u2019re handling the current state of affairs.

What you\u2019re about to hear is a series of five short interviews that I conducted with members of our team. The first is with Bryan Roth, who is our Sightlines editor, reporting from Durham, North Carolina. Next you\u2019ll hear from GBH founder and creative director Michael Kiser, who will update you on how we as an organization are handling the pandemic. Next, we\u2019re gonna check in with Claire Bullen, our editor-in-chief reporting on what\u2019s happening in the U.K., and the influence of social media on community responses. We\u2019ll then touch base with Eoghan Walsh, a staff writer reporting from Brussels, and lastly we\u2019ll go to the epicenter of the U.S. outbreak and talk to Dave Riddile about working in service and supporting local businesses in Seattle.

This is the Good Beer Hunting Collective podcast. Listen in.
