MEET THE TEAM

Lann and Lydia, Lann is doing his best kissy face, and Lydia is laughing

Lydia & Lann Niziblian are the hosts. They are a neurodiverse couple who love finding out all about our guests.

A nest of wires, screens and kit, Max is hiding in there somewhere.

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.
