Created in the early 2010's 'What's Up Sarasota' is all about local people, places & events. It's from my perspective. Full of my love and decades of knowledge of Sarasota. My first weekly video was in 2012 with 'This Weekend in Sarasota w/Kirsten' on This Week in Sarasota (TWiS) to 'What’s Up' on Sarasota Day to 'What's Up Sarasota'- all while hosting 'Out & About with Kirsten' while co-hosting '
The Nilon Report' on WSRQ 106.9 fm all while hosting popular weekly game nights at places all over Sarasota. I have put alot of love and hard work into supporting and helping my community grow. My shoutouts & mentions come from the heart, as a way for natives, semi-natives, snowbirds, locals, visitors, friends, lovers & family to hear "what's up" every week, from someone who knows this area well. I have lived all over the United States. I know what I like and what I want for my community. I'm passionate about arts, entertainment and education. So I created these vlogs as a way to enrich my community and to see my reflections of love when I look at my hometown. These people and places are special to me. Every like, view, share and comment is appreciated, it helps amplify these good stories. I truly appreciate that. Thank you for watching, supporting locals and being a part of what’s up! THANK YOU for your time and attention xox ~host Kirsten Sponseller
