In this episode we discuss our experience of social distancing during the government enforced lockdown. Contrary to mainstream conversations claiming that COVID-19 has been a 'leveller' for British people, we highlight some of the ways race, class and gender have impacted upon our experiences of social distancing.

Ep 19. I deeped....I'm controlling

In this episode we have an honest conversation about the way control manifests in our relationships with others. We identify times we have displayed controlling behaviour and decide to take a look at some of the factors which contribute to those behaviours; but also ways we are actively trying to combat controlling tendencies. This was a difficult but freeing conversation and we hope you're able to take something from it. Follow us on our socials: Twitter: @echochamberpod_ Instagram: @theechochamberpod
