Alone Together
Apostrophe Podcast Network
54 episodes
4 months ago
A life of solitude was imposed on millions of us during the pandemic due to the coronavirus. Being alone is a life chosen deliberately by some; others are just alone, not by choice. We can end up unexpectedly alone and for many, the twists and turns of life, brought us to where we are. Experts and researchers around the world share their insights about what we know about loneliness, we find meaning of it from songs, art, books, films, history and pop culture. We isolate the lessons of loneliness from people like you and people like me who have unique stories to tell and to share. Everyone feels lonely at times. But let’s begin to explore why. My name is Peg Fong, I’m a journalist and an educator who has been fascinated by what loneliness means. We’re not here to solve loneliness. But to add one voice to another so that we are alone together.

ENCORE: Too Many & Not Enough: Loneliness in China
How did you mark November 11th this year? If you were in Canada you may have spent a moment of silence remembering the men and women who fought in wars to protect our freedoms. But if you are listening from other places in the world, in Asia, November 11th may mean something else for you… Singles' Day. It’s a day that is supposed to be for celebrating those who are alone. A one. We look at how Singles' Day, which began in China, is the result of the one child policy, the mandate turned the world’s most populous country into a nation of lonely people. A country of ones.
