Staying In with Jan Powell
I'm a journalist and humanitarian living in France. With a third of the world having to stay in because of the Covid-19 lockdown, I talk to people from different ends of the earth to hear how they are coping with their own particular coronavirus confinement. From Paris to Penzance, Istanbul to India, what are people experiencing - the local rules, the frustrations, the highs and lows and what, if anything, do we all have in common? Audio postcards from the pandemic with me, Jan Powell.

Episode 2
How has South Korea got through the COVID19 pandemic with such low rates of infection? How does its famous Track-and-Trace system work? And what was it like living in the capital at the height of the pandemic? Jan catches up with her son Hugo Powell in Seoul, where he spent three months as a Master's student. After two weeks of strict quarantine, Hugo wasted no time before delving into Korean cooking, the rising popularity of cocktails, and international rivalry for the best kimchi.
