It is bittersweet to say our goodbyes after 3 months and 12 episodes (some episodes were parts 1 & 2). Which makes over a 1000 downloads, and technically 20 episodes with  this one. We have had an incredible time and have enjoyed entertaining you all. Upward and Onward Productions feels blessed to have had such wonderfully talented, kind, patient and a understanding cast of artist. Allowing us to interview them on this platform during part of this unfortunate pandemic journey, we are all on. But we have come to the end of the season with "After Talk". Hoping to catch you later on.

If you were a supporter of the "Our Meeting at the Crossroads" Video Music Series, and or most importantly our most recent show "After Talk". Then please jam with us on our next venture. "The Gents of the 3.5". A  guys podcast version, of  a similar feel to the tv shows like The View, The Real, and or The Talk, with a hint of stereotypical talks that men speak on. Plus many more topics that are not normally thought of as a guys conversation.  “To be a fly on he wall..... do you ever just want to get in to a huddle, to listen rebuttal  or just plan  understand what’s happenin in the cave of man”. Shout out to Desus and Mero and  the Mtv's Guys Code, for this inspiration. We are trying to provide laughs and more in-depth material, for our audience. First up in the driver's seat is none other than the host and co host of "After Talk" Darren Lorenzo and Bruno Diaz, and joining them is one of Upward and Onwards founders, George Papas. In the passenger seat will always be a friendly invited guest. "After Talk", looks forward to seeing you next year for another season, with more behind the scenes antics and behind the curtain material.

So from us to you, we are so appreciative of your time and on behalf of Upward and Onward Productions. We’d like thank you for hanging out for “Our Meeting at the Crossroads” Video Music Series, and "After Talk". Now Your attention and time is much appreciated and we look forward to having you checking in for our next  show "The Gents of the 3.5”. Remember success is only an arms length away. Stay safe, stay home if you can, and if not keep practicing social distance, with a healthy and cautious way of life. Upward and Onward folks.
