1. Who are you and where are you from?
I’m Joe, nice to meet you. How are you? That’s nice. Anyway I live in Chicago.


2. Where might people know you from?
Probably The Bloody Good Horror Podcast. Maybe High School though. Most likely the podcast.


3. When it comes to what you do, who or what are your major influences?
That’s a tough one. I didn’t really listen to any podcast before I checked out Bloody Good Horror. I went to High School with a couple of the guys from the show so that was my real reason for listening. And by that I mean I like to hear people talk about how funny I am so I would really just listen to hear my name. After a while I think they just got sick of me emailing them so they invited me to join the show.
