People I Want To Punch In The Throat
The blog's most popular post is the Dec. 9, 2011, "People I Want To Punch In The Throat: Over Achieving Elf on the Shelf Mommies."

Remember how your mom taught you…if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all? For one Johnson County mother of two, she might have to follow up with another favorite: “do as I say, not as I do."

Thursday on Up To Date, the author behind the popular blog People I Want To Punch In The Throattalks with us about her experiences over the last year … including a post that rocketed her from 70 followers to a million page views per month. We’ll also take a look at what it takes to build an online following and issues of internet privacy.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
