I had a blast joining JQ Radio recently to spread the gospel of NOSTR to one of (I would argue THE) most censored communities on Earth.
I had a blast putting on my education hat in this one. Please send me any and all feedback, as I plan on doing a lot more of these types of events in the future. The more new nostriches we can recruit the better!!
