  • Surviving long COVID three years into the pandemic

    Surviving long COVID three years into the pandemic
    Mar 21 2023
    It's been three years since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. And according to the CDC, out of all the American adults who have had COVID — and that's a lot of us — one in five went on to develop long COVID symptoms. While so many are struggling with this new disease, it can be hard for people to know what to do to take care of themselves. The Long COVID Survival Guide aims to give people struggling with long COVID practical solutions and emotional support to manage their illness.

Excellent in every way. Sam Sanders is one of the great podcast/radio hosts and interviewers of our time. He goes in depth while also incredibly funny with timely topics on pop culture and society at large.

The knowledgeable friend you needed

Sam is a perfect balance of news and pop culture. He asks the interesting questions, both to help him better understand and us better understand. He is knowledgeable, but never leaves the listener behind. I love this podcast. Must listen for anyone. You'll soon find you're right at home.
