Description
The Mask Podcast shares first hand stories from people risking their lives on the frontlines to those working hard behind the scenes, all fighting with the same goal: To save lives and end the Covid-19 pandemic. We speak with first responders, medical professionals, scientists, and many more to learn what it’s really like to face this invisible enemy. Most interviews are anonymous, allowing them to fully share their whole story without any professional consequences. By sharing these personal and uncensored stories, we hope to inspire our listeners to effect positive change during this horrible epidemic, now and in the future. This podcast, created by Academy Award winning filmmakers Damon Russell and Andrew Napier, also serves as a living diary of this unprecedented time.

Police Sergeant Andre is working in a South Eastern City hit hard by Covid-19. It's a city with an already high crime rate, now worsened by the Coronavirus. Sgt. Andre especially worries about the consequences of kids not being in school, and left to their own devices in the now very over crowded projects. He has to adjust to these changes and deal with the virus and the effect it has on the city, his job, and his life. This is the first of two interviews with Sgt. Andre, with the second being released later on. Interview conducted on March 26th, 2020. Directed & Edited by Andrew Napier & Damon Russell, Produced by Andrea Hall, and "The Mask Podcast" is Created & Executive Produced by Russell & Napier. More info at: www.MaskPodcast.com
Through an interview conducted on March 24th, 2020 with ICU Nurse Michelle, we look back to see what the state of the Covid-19 pandemic was at that time in America. Specifically, where Michelle works in a busy inner-city hospital in the Southern United States. We hear her first hand account of the arrival of the virus in her hospital and how it changed everything, effecting her job, life, and family. She expresses both her fears and hopes, including the hope that the Coronavirus would soon be gone because if anything were to get worse they knew they were not prepared. Interview conducted by Damon Russell. “Too Many, Too Fast” was directed & edited by Andrew Napier & Damon Russell, produced by Andrea Hall, and The Mask Podcast is created & executive produced by Russell & Napier.

Another really good one, Damon interviewing again, he does a good job though I expected to hear a woman named Andrea ,as Andrew, the host from the first episode, which was astounding, said it would be the three of them. Maybe she'll be next. I hope Andrew is back soon too thought. But Damon is good and his subject is interesting. At first glance one might say the episode is outdated, but that seems to be their direct point, like, knowing what you know now, go back and look at how we acted just a little bit sooner. Learn from history. This time not centuries or decades, but months, weeks. So smart.
Love it. I hope they do interview him again because it was too short and he was so candid and interesting! But the show continues with its great start with this time the 2nd host Damon conducting the interview and also doing a good job.
I was commenting on the first episode but I guess I posted it on the overall page, which is fine, but it needs to go here too. I feel strongly about this show. Unique, powerful, & a MUST LISTEN! In the fantastic premiere of "The Mask Podcast" I quickly discovered a moving, emotional, and surprisingly entertaining 1st episode. It’s easily one of the best conducted interviews that I’ve heard on a podcast in a long while, and this is coming from an avid Podcast listener. The intimacy and openness that came across I found touching and unique. “The Mask Podcast” delivers right out of the gate on its promise to bring to light interesting and important content by sharing people’s personal stories in a way unlike any other Covid-19 focused show that I have heard. There are so many shows on this topic, but this one stands out. It’s riveting yet informative and even comforting. If this first episode is any indicator, there are plenty more great ones to come. Spoiler alert here, listen to it firs

I’m in. I’m hooked. I’m really impressed. There is already so much out there about this subject matter, but this caught my attention and I’m so glad because it was so very captivating. I think Dr. Karen, the subject of this episode, “Last Person on Earth”, is very brave, and the interviewer, a filmmaker named Andrew Napier, also has a true talent. The interview is impressive and more importantly it is dynamic. I look forward to the more episodes to come.
