[Viva] Podcast radio show

[anne bonner]

Hey It's me Anne, hello Denise I don't think we've met but I watched your
video and thank-you for doing it!  I am not out and about with my status
but have dabbled in sort of public speaking about it (in safer spaces) and
I can feel myself working my way ever so slowly to being more out, mostly
because I keep good company with great women like yourselves.  So thanks to
you all!

And Peggy I am stoked to hear your radio program!  I think the only
qualification you need is to be a human!
