It’s been more than a year and a half of solitude for millions of us. The pandemic led to shutdowns and isolation. Being alone has taken a toll.  Loneliness is something all of us feel at some time. Some are alone by choice, others have had it imposed on them. Each story is unique and different.  In Season 2 of Alone Together: A Curious Exploration of Loneliness, we learn there’s so much more to gain when we dig deep into how connections are found.  Research is emerging from the pandemic of how we have all been affected around the world by loneliness. Those insights tell us something we can all learn about who we are today.  Again, this season, we’ll find meaning for isolation and solitude, through music, art, books, history, films, science and pop culture.  We may be alone, but we are alone together.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
