You would be absolutely perfect for this course! You're already fantastic in the chatrooms, but this course would up your game. I think you'd be a natural fit.

@Kingburger23

You should take the program! You're already a skilled host when it comes to trivia and games, this course would benefit you tremendously. Sometimes it's tough hosting when people are chatting off-topic or ignoring the rules, and this course touches on how to handle that.
