Stray Pointers

Jim Lawless

Stray Pointers is a podcast where seemingly ordinary people join us for extraordinary discussions.There are a lot of amazing people out there. I thought that it would be interesting to interview people accomplishing or having accomplished amazing things in a variety of subject areas including computing, BBS's, hacking, health care, music, comic books, writing, illustration, education, journalism, podcasting, startups, electronics, video games, astronomy, agriculture ... you name it.For more information about the podcast, please see Jim Lawless' Stray Pointers page at:https://straypointers.comIllustration is © 2023 by Rick J.
