A podcast about passion and everyday applications! Began as "First Up", a radio show on community radio station 93.3 CFMU-FM in December 2019. It has since evolved into an interview-focused podcast, broadening from emerging (and sometimes established) musical artists to the general world of creatives and quirky individuals with a story to share...about their area(s) of interest. Hosted by me, Jomar Quilatan.
