Alternatively, you can submit ideas to the show at roundof32@gmail.com; @roundof_32 on Twitter; and Round of 32 Podcast on Facebook. You can also leave us a five star rating and review on iTunes/Apple Podcasts and leave us your idea at the end of the review for a chance to get your idea straight onto the wheel!
