The Podversary Episode: Revisiting the HIV Pandemic and the Throwaway People
This is my Podversary episode so I decided to come full circle and revisit the first episode I did for the podcast on the HIV Pandemic.
This conversation is totally unscripted. These are stories that I was hearing these stories first hand.
I SO appreciate Eric, Rudolpho and Paul for having this candid conversation with me. It meant so much that they trusted me with these stories.
