This is a repost of episode 12. Kris Nova passed away in a climbing accident on August 16. I thought it was fitting to repost this conversation I had with her and Dave Fogle about their experiences being homeless.
There is a memorial for Kris on the Nivenly site. It's backed by a GitHub repo, if you'd like to share your memories of her.
