Favorite Current Song: Fred again.. & Jamie T - Lights Burn Dimmer. A great song to run or drive to. Equal parts urgent, nostalgic, and melancholic while still being a powerful and anthemic club song.

Favorite Current Song: As a new dad, my current favorite song is Mouse In My Toolbox by the Laurie Berkner Band. It's a beautiful song of solidarity with our mammalian brothers and sisters. I dare you to listen and not feel the mouse's yearning for a house like your house, a floor like your floor, a rocking chair outside her front door.

Gavin Gaddis • they/them • Writer
Gavin has been in the podcasting scene since 2017 and can't seem to stay away. When they're not exploring the wide world of audio fiction, they're ranting about movies, trains, and ghosts (in no particular order) on YouTube as Gavin G Whiz.
Favorite Current Song: Vampire by The Orion Experience. It perfectly emulates the feeling of a pop-rocky song that'd be made up for a PG-13 vampire movie from 2002. A cheesy needle-drop that'd appear in an early episode of Supernatural or a late-period Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Bee Lidstone • they/them • Writer
Bee is a cloud engineer by day and a percussionist by night (and weekends!). They've been making noise of some sort since they were old enough to hold a tambourine, and is a self proclaimed connoisseur of sounds. They've written for stage and Audio Drama, with their most recent project (The Keeper) currently running through funding applications for a full release. They're a spoken word poet, percussionist and general goblin.
Favorite Current Song: Get Deep Fried from Jam Mechanics. A song improvised in 2 hours, about a guy who doesn't care that the almighty Kraken has emerged to destroy everything we know and love, they just want to have a good day for once.

Michael G. Melia • he/him • Writer
Michael is a chill dude currently residing in Salem, Mass.

Favorite Current Song: Ode to Chin by Switchfoot, because it's remarkably similar to my life philosophy and the guitar shreds.
