Here's a recent episode they did on the dangers of self-isolation in a fictional war-torn world called Bunker Fever- Delusions of Self Isolation: https://soundcloud.com/storysmiths-podcast/w02-e06-bunker-fever

In the sixth episode of the second season of Storysmiths, we tackle something that we've all been struggling with recently- isolation. But in typical Storysmiths fashion, rather than settle for something as simple as social distancing to combat a pandemic (as surreal as that sounds) we set up a world where people have been isolated in bunkers for ten years while an unknown war rages above. When they finally open their vault doors, they find that they have their own story of what happened over the last decade, as is the case with every other bunker that survived the war...
