As the year of lockdowns, tier systems and "the new normal" comes to an end, I speak to a different guest each week about their experience of 2020.

In the final week of the podcast, we're travelling around the world to speak to Brits living abroad throughout the pandemic. In our final episode of the season, I speak to Serena in Singapore. We talk about the vast differences between lockdown life in the UK and Singapore, the inequalities that the pandemic has highlighted for migrant workers, and what it's like spending two weeks under lock and key in quarantine.

In the final week of the podcast, we're travelling around the world to speak to Brits living abroad throughout the pandemic.
