Five years after the world shut down, we take a hard look at how COVID changed the entertainment industry—and the lives of the artists within it. From the collapse of institutional power structures to the rise of digital-first artistry, we unpack the lingering effects of the pandemic, both economic and personal. What does sustainability look like now? How did some artists find opportunity in the shutdown while others saw their careers stall? And what lessons should creatives take from this unprecedented shift?

We also sit down with Jessica Sporn, an artist and theater leader navigating life with long COVID. She shares the realities of her ongoing health struggles, the impact on her career, and how the industry is—or isn’t—supporting those still dealing with the virus’s lasting effects​. Whether you're still processing the aftermath or just trying to make sense of where we go from here, this conversation is a necessary reflection on an era that reshaped everything.
