The next episode is going to be focused on 'the first thing you'll do after lockdown'. Imagine the government announces tomorrow that lockdown is totally over. What are you going to do - is there someone you're going to visit, a plan you had that was cancelled that you're going to rearrange immediately, an activity that you've been missing? Tell me about the things you've been dying to do but lockdown has been preventing it from being possible. What have you been looking forward to most? It can be literally anything - as mad as you want. Send me your thoughts over voicenote on whatsapp (07411262393) or audio recording via email (sam@ericfestival.com). I'm also available on twitter (@realsamhornsby) or on linkedin (Samantha Hornsby).The scrappier the better - please don't worry about it being polished. I want authenticity, realness and your full thought process. Go into as much detail as you want about what it is and how it makes you feel! Recordings can be as long or short as you want! Feel free to ramble on and tell me a couple of things if you'd like.

The next episode is going to be focused on 'tips for living in lockdown'. This means I want you to tell me about a new habit / routine / experiment / anything you've started doing as a result of lockdown that's making your life a bit more positive. The aim of this is to share intimate/personal happy moments with the listeners for solidarity and to feel more connected.Some examples: It could be that you're reconnecting with someone you don't normally speak to that often - tell me about who they are and how it's made you happier. It could be that you made an unbelievably delicious recipe the other day and it brought you momentary happiness knowing that you wouldn't have made it if you weren't confined to your home. It might be that you are taking time every day to appreciate and value your daily exercise in a way you never did before. It can be literally anything - as mad as you want. Send me your thoughts over voicenote on whatsapp (07411262393) or audio recording via email (sam@ericfestival.com).The scrappier the better - please don't worry about it being polished. I want authenticity, realness and your full thought process. Go into as much detail as you want about what it is and how it makes you feel! Recordings can be as long or short as you want!
