Podcast Description
Lurk Here is a podcast dedicated to the quiet forces that shape communities—both online and in the real world. In digital spaces, "lurkers" observe, absorb, and contribute without demanding attention. Beyond the screen, countless voices do the same, offering perspective, resilience, and support while remaining unseen. This podcast brings those voices forward, creating a space where the overlooked are acknowledged, the unheard are amplified, and the foundation-builders of every community get the recognition they deserve. You don’t have to be loud to matter.
