    Dec 4 2020

    An American, a Canadian, and a Brit stay at home


    We had a few requests for an update on how we are all coping with *gestures vaguely at the state of 2020* everything, so here is another Quaranteam episode for you all to enjoy while Sarah gets her butt in gear and watches Dispatches From Elsewhere which is totally 100% not the reason that there is another Quaranteam update instead of a normal episode

    During this episode, Sarah uses the term “gypsy” to refer to a specific group of people. Whilst this is considered an ethnic slur in the United States and Canada, it is an accepted legal term within the United Kingdom, along with “traveling show people”. We would like to apologize for any offense that is caused by the use of this term, and wanted to explain why it was used.
