Transcript
You. Hello and welcome to the Queer Everything podcast.
My inspiration for these first couple of episodes has been to connect with people whom I've known for a long time and who are now out in Queer, even though we didn't realize our affinity back when we knew each other. In the last two episodes, I spoke with NEMA Avashia, with whom I went to college, and today I'm really excited to be talking to someone from way, way back in my past.
