"I've landed a radio position at SAM Radio, a non-profit community radio station run by autistic people, for autistic people. I do a weekly show on Friday at 1pm talking about mental health and playing corresponding tracks from different genres. I wanted to share this with you because Gaydio's guidance and enthusiasm has played a big role in my journey so far. Thanks for helping me on the Gaydio Course"
