Today's episode features Mx. Crys/ta Song, a Speech Language Pathologist and vocalist who is also Board Co-Chair of Queer Oriented Radical Days of Summer (QORDS). Crys/ta and I talk about such topics as why the South should not be discounted as a political forum, how we cannot help but be part of humanity, and obscure William Makepeace Thackeray quotes.
