In this special episode of the Pondering Nerdcast I interviewed Lucas LaRochelle, creator of the amazing Queering the Map project. LaRochelle’s platform links together minds and hearts around international queer connections that anyone can relate to. It’s important to see the commonality in all of us.

“You work for a radio company with several radio stations. A bad software update leaves the DJs unable to control their microphones. You’re in the control room, patched between the studios and the broadcast tower. You need to tune in to each station and put the DJs on-air when they need to speak. No dead air.”
