What to do with your time in stay-at-home? A listener asks for recommendations for what shows to watch with her roommates while taking coronavirus precautions. Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Sr. Jane Aseltyne shares her favorites (one is about baking, a very COVID-era thing!), and she and I chat for some time about other shows and movies we've really liked watching recently.
