First hour: An update on delivery services and personal shopping during the pandemic
Second hour: How camps are getting creative during the pandemic summer
Companies like Instacart and DoorDash have seen their values jump by billions of dollars during the pandemic, but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been controversy.

We talk to local workers in what has been one of the fastest-growing industries in the country. Our guests:
