A French café terrasse is the best place in the world to read, think, talk with friends and watch the world go by. Consider this podcast your open invitation to pull up a chair, order your favourite drink and spend a few minutes thinking about life, culture, and French philosophy. Hosted by Dr Christopher Watkin: author, researcher and university lecturer in modern and contemporary French philosophy and culture. More info at christopherwatkin.com

This episode is an audio version of a blog post I wrote on March 18 2020, the first in a series of reflections about the current COVID-19 epidemic in the light of Albert Camus's The Plague, which I have been re-reading over the past weeks. I hope you enjoy it!
