MAKE TIME : ANOTHER LOCKDOWN STORY

“MAKE TIME” is a podcast about how COVID-19 and lockdown changed my relationship to time, how it changed my friends perception of time. How it motivated some and paralyzed others. How it gave us all, some perspective. My name is Layal and this is me, genuinely trying to explore this time frame and its impact, through walks in the city and conversations with people of Casablanca and people I miss.

Morocco was one of the first countries to barricade its borders. We didn’t understand the extent of it and let’s be honest, we still don’t. All over the world, levels of anxiety got higher and higher. But I like to believe that, in a way, this difficult moment allowed us all, some kind of growth.
