WHO'S ACTUALLY BEHIND THIS?

JUSTIN HOSTS IT.
MIKE BUILDS IT INTO A SHOW.

Justin Anderson handles the conversations, guests, and whatever direction the room decides to go. Mike Caropreso produces and edits the podcast and handles most of the machinery behind it.

The rest is comedians, creators, local characters, internet weirdness, arguments, accidental sincerity, and whoever has a story worth hearing.
