This is the first of a new pop-up podcast series dropping in the San Diego News Matters feed on Sundays. We're calling it "The Pandemic Pivot," and it's about people who are doing creative and innovative things to keep the community connected through COVID-19 isolation. Our goal is to make you, me and everyone who listens feel just a little less alone, or at least alone together. We want this podcast series to be some of the virtual glue that’s currently keeping our community connected. The plan is to drop new episodes on Sundays. The first episode features food critic Troy Johnson Because when restaurants across the city started closing down, Troy’s inbox started filling up. Over the years, he’s amassed a decent following of foodies. So, he was someone a lot of local restaurant folks thought of when the coronavirus pandemic hit. They saw Troy as a human life raft of sorts. A way to help them reach customers who might be able to keep their businesses afloat through the pandemic. So, they shot Troy email after email, text after text, begging for help. And so, after binging "Tiger King" just like you, me and millions others did as we adjusted to our new lives in isolation, Troy decided to do something to help.
