LISTEN: Indiana Essential Workers Share What’s Getting Them Through The Pandemic

Earlier this month, WFIU News asked essential employees - including healthcare workers, grocery clerks, restaurant employees and anyone else pushed to the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic - to share how they’ve been getting through the outbreak.

In the audio clip above, you’ll hear a handful of those stories, told by the essential workers themselves.

If you’re an essential employee and would like to share your own story, use your phone or mobile device to record a short, two-minute voice memo and submit it through our Google Form. To send in your story and to find more information, head to WFIU.org/essentialstories.

He started at WTIU and WFIU in 2018 making web content to put his bad internet habits to good use. He wrote this bio in third person so it didn't sound so narcissistic.
