More from Thomas on radio and the great outdoors—
"It's sad to see the state of the world right now and what's going on.
"Sometimes the best way to experience joy is obviously to do the things you like to do and being around the people you want to be around. And that is this radio community for me. …
"Being out here, connecting with friends, even if it's little short high-fives over the air like we do with POTA, is meaningful.
"It gets your head out of everything else that's going on so you can start to think clearly. And, frankly, in my case it gives me some of the capacity to deal with some of the bad news in the world."
