Putting Queer Folks on the Map

We kick off season four talking to Charlie Sprinkman (he/they), creator of the Everywhere is Queer map– an interactive tool to locate queer and trans businesses around the globe. We chat about the inspiration for the project, the importance of promoting queer-owned businesses, and Sprinkman’s big ideas for the future of the map.
