Shall We Digress...?

Noah (DJ Potato Skins) has been a talk radio host, and producer for 21 years.  He cares about the state of the country and is not afraid to talk hard hitting issues.  He's a single father of twins, has an on and off again podcast, and loves all things Star Trek. Be sure to check our his radio show, Across the County

Born & raised in the home state of Dolly Parton, Johnny has been a Trekkie for almost 30 years. That love of Trek lead him to living a life helping others & pushing for a world of Starfleet. An all around nerd, if Johnny is not talking Trek in Twitter, he is posting Disney or super cheesy music.

Y'all say howdy to John Moltz! Here's an excerpt from the About page of A Very Nice Website:

"Who is John and what does he do? You can find out a little more about him here, if you’re so interested, Mr. Nosey. But after years of doing corporate technology full time and writing part-time, I am now a full-time freelance writer, with all the rank, responsibility and Top Ramen associated with that position.

(I’m just kidding about the Top Ramen. We get the gourmet ramen from the freezer section. It costs a dollar more, but it’s so worth it.)"

Dan Moren is the author of the Galactic Cold War series of sci-fi espionage capers, including The Aleph Extraction and The Bayern Agenda from Angry Robot Books, as well as The Caledonian Gambit from Talos Press. He’s represented by Joshua Bilmes of JABberwocky Literary Agency.

A former senior editor at Macworld, Dan’s work has appeared in the Boston Globe, Fast Company, Popular Science, Yahoo Tech, Tom’s Guide, Six Colors, The Magazine, and TidBITS, among other places.

Additionally, Dan is a prolific podcaster: he serves as the co-host of tech shows Clockwise and The Rebound, writes and hosts nerdy quiz show Inconceivable!, and is a frequent panelist on the Parsec-award-winning podcast The Incomparable.

Dan lives with his wife in Somerville, Massachusetts, where he plays ultimate frisbee and enjoys games of the video and tabletop variety. When he’s not wasting time on Twitter, anyway.
