81: Halloween or Hallo... won’t? (Play)

BRETT GAJDA AND NICK JAWORSKI
About this episode

What is Halloween without the trick or treating?

That is the question that started the journey of this episode. A lot of our traditions over the next few months are going to look different this year. Not just Halloween. It’s unlikely that celebrations of US Thanksgiving, Diwali, Hanukkah, or Christmas will have the same gatherings of people they have in the past. And that sucks. And many people feel stuck.

And this feeling of being stuck is not exclusive to Halloween where 2020 is concerned.

So how do we adapt? And is perhaps perhaps a tool that can help all of us adapt? For Halloween … and beyond.
