About Us

The greatest tragedy you all will never know you experienced was the era when Joe, Tara, and Dave had edifying, brilliant, entertaining, and thoughtful discussions about pop culture and the issues of the day, and you couldn’t hear them! But it’s okay: we fixed that. Now we don’t think any things we don’t say. You’re welcome.

Tara Ariano

Tara ArianoIf you follow her on Twitter, you already know what Tara Ariano is about: watching TV, going to movies, judging strangers, shopping online, and taking naps — and she can do many of the previous listed items simultaneously. Tara was born in Regina, Saskatchewan (and yes, she knows why you think it’s funny that she comes from Regina, but no, she doesn’t think it is) but lived most of her adult life in Toronto before moving to New York City, even though it doesn’t contain even one Dairy Queen.

Joe Reid

Joe ReidIn a world without podcasts…Joe Reid stood alone. Actually, that’s not true — there’s no such thing as a world without podcasts. But wouldn’t that be a great tagline for a thriller about one podcaster in a post-apocalyptic world where all internet reverted to dialup? (Working title: The Buffering.) ANYWAY: Joe grew up in Buffalo, moved to New York, thinks strategically about soap operas for a living, and has his own silly little blog for all the stuff Dave and Tara don’t want to talk about.

David T. Cole

David T. Cole / GlarkI take photos. I produce websites. I can bench press the universe. Legend tells a different story though. Glark is considered the greatest Canadian hero of all. Unlike Wolverine, who was both very strong and thoughtful, Glark simply is strong. In fact, he is the strongest man who has ever existed, and therefore he considers himself something of a god. Indeed, he is half-god, a son of CrispyCrunch from Northern Ontario. Supremely confident, Glark showed his brute force from a very early age, when he wrestled a moose that had clopped into his baby cradle. Email Dave
