Happy Monday UMMPod Nation!! The Season 5 Finale is here!! Thanks to our buddy David Katilius a.k.a. Dkat for dropping by the studio to help co-host and close out another epic season! (Available everywhere; Spotify link below)

Today's show features the talented reggae-rock artist, Layton Meacham, and we had a great time chatting with the Upstate native. His catchy brand new song, "The World" will make you bob your head and give you all the feel-good vibes.

After a double dose of conversations with DKat and Layton, we dive into our favorite weekly segment, 'This Day in Music'.

Thank you so much to all our supporters, sponsors, artists, and everyone else who's had a hand in the success of our show!! We couldn't do it without you all and are stoked to keep this thing going for Season 6 later this year! Stay tuned and we love you UMMPod Nation!
