Bryan Keithley and Peter Podgursky
Bryan Keithley Originally from the “show-me state” of Missouri in the very breadbasket of America, Bryan was the valedictorian of his high school after grinding out a hard-won ‘B’ in physical science. It would come at a high cost: he did not attend senior prom. He enjoys board games that take more time to learn than to play. He also designs video games. What a man-child.
When not creating and starring in a groundbreaking audio series that would come to define a generation, Bryan enjoys poring over legal contracts and using the ancient game of rock/paper/scissors to decide who pays for lunch. Also, he owns a lot of garbage pail kids cards. ‘memba those? Peter Podgursky Hailing from Eastern Idaho, Peter can hold his breath for over a minute and a half and can balance on one foot with his eyes closed. He’s pretty good at juggling and enjoys singing Happy Birthday.
Once in a Whole Foods parking garage, Peter witnessed a pair of elevator doors close on a maintenance man. The doors were squeezing the man like a gigantic pimple and he yelled out in pain. Peter leapt into action. Joined by two nearby Japanese businessmen, they were able to pry the doors open enough to free the maintenance man. That was a great day!
