How was love put to the test during the pandemic?

Show notes

This month's show is all about love – across borders, cultures, and during the pandemic. Germans and Americans reflect on loving what they do, loving where they are, and what COVID-19 has meant for dating and romance.

Host Sylvia Cunningham kicks off the conversation with DJ Dr. Motte, the father of the legendary Love Parade. We also hear reflections from Berlin-based American expat Miranda Siegel and from Munich-based American couple Julie Etheridge and Kevin Petrikas. Amy Nicole Baker, professor and assistant chair of psychology and sociology at the University of New Haven, tells us how COVID-19 is impacting the phenomenon of office romances. And Maximiliane Uhlich, postdoctoral researcher at Western University in Ontario, and Joanna Lemonnier, a trilingual therapist in Berlin, discuss the challenges of finding love and keeping things fresh in these stressful times.
