Introducing Social Distance Assistance

VPM is launching a new podcast, Social Distance Assistance, on Tuesday, April 14. Taking a cue from Mister Rogers, host Kelly Jones and her daughter, June, set out to find brave, creative problem solvers who are supporting their communities in the era of social distancing. Each week, they will find the helpers, diving into personal stories to uncover the ways communities come together in the midst of a pandemic. Kelly and June will also call on experts to answer listener questions about how to live well during COVID-19. Each episode will include ways that listeners can get involved and become helpers themselves. 

Have a question for the show? Send a voice memo to [email protected] or leave a message at (804) 404-2859‬.

The podcast will be available on major distribution platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and NPR One.
