    <description>Welcome to Shoerack -- a podcast about walking in other people's shoes.

Each episode, I sit down with members and roles of a community to learn how they see the world, what unique things they bring, and the challenges they face. I want to highlight how love for a community manifests itself in all kinds of expression, and how we can learn to appreciate and celebrate that.

Season 1 dives into the Gaming and Anime communities.</description>
