About this episode

What’s it like to actually have COVID-19? Stand-up comedian SINDHU VEE tells Ian Dunt about the experience of being laid out by the virus – how to be an “Indian Mum Bad Cop” in trying circumstances – and what she learned along the way. 


  • “When you can’t really breathe, your body is like, HOLY SHIT.”
  • “I totally reached my target weight with COVID, though. And it lasted about two weeks.”
  • “When you’re Indian, you have doctor friends coming out of your ears.”


Presented by Ian Dunt. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producer Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production.
