The NEXT NORMAL, with David Hardy Lisa Taylor, CCDP and Ujwal Arkalgud, is the first podcast series produced under the Story Studio Network banner. It launched in 2021.
It explored the foundational shifts in culture, in politics, education, healthcare, and economics - all forced upon us by the COVID 19 pandemic.
The immediate effects of the pandemic may be in the rearview mirror but the recovery and reckoning lingers in 2025 - in this era of the NEXT NORMAL.
What are the key learnings and challenges from 2024?
Have we normalized anti-semitism?
Can we be hopeful but not optimistic about opportunities and prospects for 2025?
