Lydia & Lann Niziblian are the hosts. They are a neurodiverse couple who love finding out all about our guests.
Max Reilly records and edits the podcast. He's somewhere hidden in the tech gear, honestly. His hobby is reminding Lann & Lydia how very ancient they are.
Sparky Niziblian is the podcast dog. He loves to meet dog-friendly guests. Will give paw for a biscuit.
