Panic Room!

Eight to ten minutes of pure panic to help you through the day

Wed 25 Mar 2020

It’s easy to panic at times like this. So much going on. So much uncertainty. The Panic Room is a place to park your panic. In the Panic Room we’ll discuss why we feel the way we do in troubled times, what responses people have, and how there might be a pathway through it that can give us calm in a panicky world.

David Robertson and Stephen McAlpine discuss the format of this hastily thrown together, rough and ready new series - as a bit of a taster - to help you survive isolation imposed as a result of the coronavirus. Key message? Don't panic!
