About the Podcasters

  • Derek B. Gayle

    (he/him)

    Derek B. Gayle is a professional writer and has a background performing in live theatre. As a kid, he spent much of his free time designing the seasonal schedule for his own imaginary TV network, which explains a lot. When he’s not podcasting, Derek keeps busy by exploring the woods in search of werewolves, playing D&D, digitizing old VHS tapes, watching tokusatsu, looking at pictures of Godzilla and Garfield, and cuddling with his cats.

  • David Arnold

    (he/him)

    David recently left his full-time job of 20 years as a counselor and non-profit professional to focus on learning game design and hobbyist podcasting. David believes that both the mundane or the avant-garde give us the opportunity to explore what it means to be queer and see queerness around us, ultimately making the places and spaces we live, work, learn, and play safer and healthier for the most vulnerable. He married his husband Mike in 2009 and they live together in Valencia, Spain.
