I know not everyone listens, but on last week's On The Upbeat I announced that I'll be taking a bit of a backseat on co-hosting the show. I'll still be on board & behind the scenes, heck, you may not even miss me too much, honestly

But when I am on I want to go out of my way to make it the BEST POSSIBLE SHOW! As a current, former, or never listener of On The Upbeat, what would interest you?

All advice is welcome! Heck, I'll even accept "non-constructive criticism"

If you don't feel comfortable sharing your thoughts in an open forum, my DMs are open for thoughts / advice / criticism / insults
