Welcome to Full Circle, your cultural affairs radio magazine produced by members of the First Voice Apprenticeship Program… This evening we share with you a collective experience dealing with the national pandemic Covid 19… On tonight’s show we ask… Are you still out there getting paid? Or are you suddenly unemployed? Join us as we hear commentary from a First Voice Apprentice who is currently sheltering in place. Later, phone calls to family and friends who share their own “current situation”, also we share with you some vital community resources. All that and more coming up tonight on Full Circle… I am your host tonight.. Sheltering in place, Freewillin Franklin.
