The Quarantine Tapes 133: Casey Gerald

“My worry is not that we are socially distant, which we are, which we have been even before quarantine. My worry is that we are spiritually distant, and unless we leave this time with a more serious understanding of our spiritual and ancestral resources, then it’s going to be very hard for anyone to believe that we can access trans-generational ecstasy.”

The Quarantine Tapes 132: Antony Anderson

“Once there is that outreach to the police, we try to find solutions for that community member, even if it means directing them to find who can assist their problem, as opposed to stepping back and saying, ‘It’s not my problem’. Now that is critical to the relationship that exists and we build between our police officers and the community.”

The Quarantine Tapes 131: Alex Vitale

“What we need to do is we need to talk out to communities about what the specific public safety challenges are that they face...and then we need to look at whether or not we can come up with credible, non-police strategies to address those specific concerns.”

The Quarantine Tapes 130: Sonny Rollins

“Jazz is a music of freedom, as Sun Ra said, because we had to create, we had to fight, we had to struggle, we had to break down barriers.”

The Quarantine Tapes 129: Ruha Benjamin

“Informed refusal, to me, is a crucial dimension of power. You don’t have real power if you can’t refuse, if you can’t say no to something.”

The Quarantine Tapes 128: Suzanne Nossel

“The complete erosion of trust and truth in our country where no one knows what to believe...what will it take to restore faith in fact-based discourse? Because that has been substantially undermined.”

The Quarantine Tapes 127: Vivek Murthy

“The secret to connecting with other people is to deeply connect with ourselves.”

The Quarantine Tapes 126: Ed Yong

“I think, sadly, not enough attention is paid to preparedness in peacetime years. People go through these cycles of panic and neglect where a crisis hits, everyone freaks out, and the minute it’s over, attention to resources starts to dwindle and that’s exactly what we saw over the last several years. We’re even seeing it now in the middle of this outbreak where the pandemic isn’t even over...

The Quarantine Tapes 125: George Gascón

“I went from that place of believing that what I was doing was on the right side of the angels, if you will, to understanding that there were not only limitations to the utility in what I was doing, but then understanding that, actually, so much of what I was doing was a part of a larger social, economic problem in this nation that preceded, certainly, me and really beginning to search for...

The Quarantine Tapes 124: Slavoj Žižek

“We learned through Wikileaks and others how all our phone conversations, emails, and so on, were made available to state agencies or even to private agencies and so on and so on. I think that COVID just made us aware, or made it more visible, something that was already going on before.”

The Quarantine Tapes 123: Supervisor Sheila Kuehl

“Just the status of race in this country, it’s still aspirational for us, but I do think an awful lot of people are saying, 'I don’t think I ever quite understood. I’m taking this more seriously now'. At least, I hope that’s the case.”

The Quarantine Tapes 122: Nadya Tolokonnikova

“For me, personally, art is always about challenging the status quo.”

The Quarantine Tapes 121: Lauren Halsey

“For me it was remixing the function of the hieroglyph and it just feels like endless possibilities that I’m able to shape-shift, not just myself, but identity, representation, future, people, images--it’s just everything at once. It can be some of everything, which I love.”

The Quarantine Tapes 120: Chiraag Bains

“My dream is that we think about the right to vote and to participate in this democracy as a core part of personhood, of membership in this community that we call The United States of America. Rather than looking for ways to exclude people and carve them out of the franchise, which we have done time and time again in our history, that we look to include people and understand that everyone needs...

The Quarantine Tapes 119: Holly Herndon

“I want to live in a world where people aren't afraid to pay attribution and to say where their inspirations come from and to pay people for their ideas. I think it’s actually quite possible, but it takes a shift in mindset.”

The Quarantine Tapes 118: Ramsess

“What was happening twenty, thirty, forty years ago--it seems like if you don’t know your history, you tend to repeat it again. Some of the things that were happening then are happening now, except I think people are becoming more conscious and aware of how important it is to know the things that are around their history and the social conditionings.”

The Quarantine Tapes 117: Steve Roach

“Synthesizers create such a range of sound and sound that you can treat almost like these very fine-tuned surgical tools when you’re exploring your own consciousness.”

The Quarantine Tapes 116: Fatima Bhutto

"I think, in a way, it’s really the role of a writer to find the people that nobody knows...and to speak directly to those people.”

The Quarantine Tapes 115: Nomi Prins

“For the most part, the Federal Reserve being able to electronically create money that effectively then goes through the largest bank in the country--the idea of that is to incentivize them to lend it out to the actual people in the country and to therefore help the economy, because individuals and small businesses and so forth will be able to get loans from their banks. The banks get that...

The Quarantine Tapes 114: Andrew Solomon

“I think there’s an almost universal experience of loss that is devastating to many of the people who have lost not only their connection to the friends they no longer see and the places they no longer go, but to their sense of stability and security in the world.”
