How to Survive Accidental Isolation

In this podcast, Sebastian de Souza serialises his new novel 'Stuck'. George Eldridge thought he was coming home for Sunday lunch. But when the residents of the village of Little Lockage, Somerset (Population 300, Average Age 70yrs) take it upon themselves to quarantine the village and close its borders completely against the coronavirus pandemic, it seems George (22yrs) is stuck in accidental isolation with his wacky parents in a village made up of eccentric aristocrats, effete farmers, Vietnam veterans and pugilist priests (to name a few). The coronavirus is terrifying for everyone. If - like me and George - you're feeling worried, depressed or anxious about it, or your just fed up with being in quarantine (accidental or otherwise!) then try listening to 'Stuck'. I hope listening to it will lift your spirits as much as writing it is lifting mine. 'Stuck' is written read and produced by Sebastian de Souza. Theme Music, 'Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries' by Jack Hylton. Cover Art by Bannister. It is a One Of The Good Guys production.
