Bottomless Coffee Podcast Jerome Evans

Let's talk about respect! I asked people on social media to send me the names of the people that they respect - and not one person they sent was a member of the queer community!
So I had some questions. Namely: who do you respect, why do you respect them, what does your behavior look like when its directed towards people that you respect, and should there be more members of the queer community on the list of people that you respect?
I asked those questions to Dr. Ron Hunter and I think that his responses were enlightening. We previously spoke with Ron about mentorship and that episode is one of our highest rated episodes to date.
Ron is a dear friend who takes respect VERY seriously and in this conversation he challenges me about some of my thoughts on why the queer community doesn't get the respect that I think we deserve.
After the conversation you can at https://www.linkedin.com/in/RonHunterPHD.

Do the actions of the queer community matter as much as those of other communities? Because as a society we seem acknowledge and preserve the historic spaces of straight people far more often than we do of queer people. Why is that?
To help answer that question I flew down to Atlanta Georgia and sat down with preservationist Charlie Paine.
Charlie is a thought leader in the queer preservation movement and his insights have changed the way that I look at and value our queer spaces. Enjoy!

I caught up with Simon as he was going through a change in his life. Just getting out of a throuple. Trying to move forward in his career. And really in the midst of figuring out who he is and what will set his life up for long-term happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment. I think that a lot of the queer community in this same space, this same place and the process of trying to break through and get to where you want to BE makes for a conversation that I think you’ll enjoy.

This is a conversation that you'll come back to again and again. In this episode of Bottomless Coffee Podcast Jerome and guest Brad Forenza explore the intersection of human connection, avian homicide, and the creative arts. And unless I miss my guess - they also become friends!
Around the Sun is a scripted, episodic audio drama that explores human connections, made and missed, with an existential flare. Whether consumed together or independently, the comedy, tragedy, and soul of Around the Sun embraces one character’s assertion that, “We’re never alone… even if it feels like the opposite is often true.” The series was created by Brad Forenza, and produced via remote technology throughout the pandemic, and onward.
