This week, the tables turn on Jon, as he is put in to the hot seat by Randi. We get to learn who Jon is, how he became the artist that he is today, and where he would like his creativity to go in the future. We knew he was a talented artist, but the depth and beauty in some of his answers really floored Randi. Come take a listen and get to know Jon on a more personal level this week!

Alternative description: Come listen to Jon flap his gums about his damn self this week!
