Question 65 // Hey, Can I Come To Your Sci-Fi Convention? (feat. Jonathan Palmer)

Jonathan Palmer is the president of one of the midwest’s largest sci-fi/fantasy conventions, CONvergence. I’ve never been to a sci-fi/fantasy convention before and when a friend told me it was taking place while I was in town, I knew I had to check it out!   I reached out to Jonathan to sit down and learn more about the convention, but what ended up taking place was a conversation that taught me about community, solidarity, identity, and how, if it weren’t for racism, a map of Minneapolis' highways would look entirely different.    Join me as I sit down with JP, over Scotch, for a conversation that is… the reason I do this podcast.   Recording Location: CONvergence Convention, (The Hyatt Hotel) Downtown Minneapolis.    ------------------------------   GUEST LINKS:   http://www.convergence-con.org/ http://www.convergenceevents.org/ https://www.facebook.com/CONvergenceConMN https://www.rondodays.net/ http://www.hallieqbrown.org/site/   ------------------------------   Call The Official Podcast Hotline: (612) 584-9330  Visit Recording Locations: www.thecuriouspod.com/map Subscribe on iTunes: www.thecuriouspod.com/itunes Subscribe via RSS: www.thecuriouspod.com/rss Like us on Facebook: www.thecuriouspod.com/facebook Follow us on Instagram: www.thecuriouspod.com/instagram
