The Daily Fro is something I started years ago and kept up with for almost an entire year. The idea was to just talk about whatever was on my mind at that time. It seemed to work for a while as people loved tuning in to hear what I would say next. The only problem I ran into, was when it started to feel like a chore. But, from time to time, I want to share what's on my mind, just me, the mic and you. This is the Daily FRO for April 12th 2025. P.S. This doesn't mean I will be making a new episode every day, just when I feel like talking. Jared
