Hey Pickles!

Welcome to Covid Cast. Christine has Covid so we tried to keep this week's episode a little on the short side. But, we have a lot to tell you!

Our Noteworthy segment takes a look at how meat packing employees are losing their work visas, and are being told to leave the US.

Much love, Sam & Christine
