The Hosts:
Cap Blackard: Consequence‘s Art Director and Podcast Network Director. Cap is a cosmic fugitive who lives inside a VCR and poses as a multimedia artist in a poorly-planned attempt to blend in on Earth. They’re co-creator of Lightning Dogs, (an animated series about space dogs fighting mutants) and is the brain behind a whole abyss of multiversal podcasts on The Nerdy Show Network.
Doug Banks: A screenwriter who loves science fiction, comedy, and action/adventure. Some might be “script doctors,” Doug’s goal is to be a “script Batman”. He co-created Lightning Dogs, with Cap and brought back to life the 1980s Ghostbusters roleplaying game which he uses it to helm the RPG audio drama, Ghostbusters: Resurrection.
Matt Spill: State of the Empire’s own personal holocron. Matt is an Expanded Universe Master – Few have read as many Star Wars novels as him and lived to tell the tale. He loves filmmaking and as a Hollywood man of intrigue, once shared an elevator with two Bond villains while he himself was wearing Max Zorin cuff links.
