The Quarantine Tapes 113: Tim Robbins

“In a divisive country, in a country [where] there are so many voices trying to divide us, we have so much in common with so many people.”

The Quarantine Tapes 112: Barry Edelstein

“Nothing inspires an artist like limitation.”

The Quarantine Tapes 111: Erin Brockovich

“How we respond and how we react and how we get prepared and stop trying to master and control a phenomenon that you never will, but rather our response to it is the wake-up call and the message.”

The Quarantine Tapes 110: Thomas Lynch

“Poetry was, and remains, the closest thing to prayer that I know.”

The Quarantine Tapes 109: Dwight Trible

“People have always come together with music.”

The Quarantine Tapes 108: Sunita Puri

Change is a constant that we can’t escape, and part of this change is the changing of our bodies and our lives. When we sit in contemplation of that, I really think, in my experience with my patients, it gives you a new inspiration and outlook on the moments you do have, whether you’re sick or not.

The Quarantine Tapes 107: Jordan Morgan

“We’re seeing a lot of this ugly nationalism, populism, and I think without genuine connection with people, a lot of these messages are taking root and the audience is growing. I want to be optimistic, but I think there is bigger political, social, economic unrest coming.”

The Quarantine Tapes 106: Ananya Roy

“There is another kind of refusal, and that is the refusal of silence. I think one of the most disappointing things to me is how many of our professions and disciplines have been silenced--dangerously silenced in the context of all that is happening in the U.S.--worried that speaking out will politicize the discipline and profession. Well, silence is its own politics as well.”

The Quarantine Tapes 105: Lisa Lucas

“There are people from different backgrounds inside of publishing, critical apparatus, and bookstores. There are conversations where we are included, but how strongly our voices are considered, and whether or not we have the power to leverage change from the seats at the table we have earned and been given--I think that there’s a lot of work there.”

The Quarantine Tapes 104: Eddie S. Glaude Jr.

“We have to tell the truth about the stories that we tell ourselves to protect us, to protect our innocence, our so-called innocence. We have to, in some ways, grab the country by the collar and pull it into maturity. That’s going to require an honest reckoning with what we’ve done.”

The Quarantine Tapes 103: Lena Herzog

“[A] pandemic tends to reveal the truth. I think the truth is so enormous that we can’t handle [it]. We’ve ran out of words, we ran out of ways to see. What is in between reality and us are our old notions, our worn-out words, and our worn-out images.”

The Quarantine Tapes 102: Moshe Safdie

“I would say that, in terms of the work of an architect, there are those projects which affect our daily life in a profound way. The workspace, how we live, the public realm. But also, as architects, we are called to rise to a much more profound, and demanding, symbolic level. That occurs when we design a place of worship, a memorial, a significant museum devoted to a significant subject. That...

The Quarantine Tapes 101: Garnette Cadogan

“What is going to become of public space? These places are so important. [I’ve been] thinking about the ways in which we acknowledge each other, the way we interact with each other, the way we see ourselves in a shared vision, shared responsibility, the ways in which we are connected and see ourselves in civic unison with each other.”

The Quarantine Tapes 100: Gary Hart

“If people can’t walk down the streets of Washington D.C. or Denver, Colorado and protest peacefully without being tear-gassed or assaulted by police or unmarked military forces, and put in unidentified vehicles, then we’re halfway towards a police state.”

The Quarantine Tapes 099: "Sarah"

“I was angry because this was something that was anticipated. This virus was first in China back in December. Italy in January. Our first case in the U.S. was back in February. By mid-March, all fifty states had COVID. We were all hearing and reading about what was quickly unfolding in Italy and I think we could have done better, we could have prepared better, but more importantly, I think our...

The Quarantine Tapes 098: Yuval Sharon and Cannupa Hanska Luger

“Opera is not always thought of in the same way as cinema or literature in terms of what representation means, and what it means to posit a future for humanity. But I think that opera very much plays a role in the shaping of a cultural identity.”

The Quarantine Tapes 097: Ziad Antar

“Hope became fiction. You cannot build on anything when you see the amount of destruction.”

The Quarantine Tapes 096: Daniel Mendelsohn

“You can ignore history, but it will not ignore you. To some extent what we are seeing unfolding in this extraordinary, concentrated, and dramatic way in this country is a country many of whose people thought they were somehow immune from history and politics and epidemiological disasters.”

The Quarantine Tapes 095: Maaza Mengiste

On episode 095 of The Quarantine Tapes, Paul Holdengräber is joined by writer Maaza Mengiste.

The Quarantine Tapes 094: Claudia Rankine

“It’s really about how [we can] begin to look at this society and talk about what’s valued in it in order to see what’s not valued. Until you can do that, until you can name the things that are valued, you won’t be able to understand the things that aren’t valued.”
