A year ago, we had no idea how long we'd be going into isolation—or all the unexpected ways it would change our lives and the industries that surround us.

Each week for several years now, I've gathered with some of my Adweek colleagues for our panel podcast, "Yeah, That's Probably an Ad," and the conversation is always lively.

This week we focused on the many ways quarantine has affected us personally, professionally and as consumers. (Spoiler alert on that last part: We get a lot more shipments than we used to.)

Give a listen to my conversation with colleagues Ko Im, Richard Collings and Julian Gamboa to learn more about how retail and marketing have been reshaped alongside our own emotional roller coasters.

So what about you? I'd love to hear how you feel you or your industry have been changed most by the past year. Let me know at the email below or at @Griner on Twitter.
