Passing the Time: How hobbies are getting people through a pandemic

People of Hamden talk about their hobbies and passions during COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way people live and do the things they love. Before the virus, hobbies were seen as activities done in someone’s spare time. Now that spare time is all people have, they have become lifestyles and passions. Some have had to stop doing what they love while others were able to continue their search for enjoyment during these troubling times. This podcast explores what people of Hamden are doing to pass the time as they wait for normalcy to return.
