PNC Interview - Lucas LaRochelle, "Queering the Map"
In this special episode of the Pondering Nerdcast I interviewed Lucas LaRochelle, creator of the amazing Queering the Map project. LaRochelle’s platform links together minds and hearts around international queer connections that anyone can relate to. It’s important to see the commonality in all of us.

Pondering Nerdcast Ep 108 - "A Wrinkle In Time" Panel
Let’s enjoy readings given by the biggest fans of Madeleine Engle… Her granddaughters! Recorded at Strand Bookstore off of Union Square, Manhattan.
Coverage: “A Wrinkle in Time” Pen America panel at Strand Bookstore
“A Wrinkle in Time” was first published back in 1962, but its impact is long lasting with no signs of waning. Even though the latest attention has been given to the book because of its film adaptation directed by Ava Duvernay, many longtime literary fans of Engle frequent events dedicated to readings, in-depth analysis, and general fangirling/fanboying/fanhearting.
Léna Roy and Charlotte Jones Voiklis, PhD are the stars of our coverage of this panel held by Pen America in Strand Bookstores this past March.
