Meet Your Host

Kyle Olson

Fast becoming more beard than man, Kyle Olson is an award-winning writer, producer, and host who has been podcasting since these shows were still casting onto pods. He co-hosted The Marvel Movie Minute for over three hundred episodes with his fellow true believer and partner in pods, Rob Kubasko. He’s created several shows, the most notable of which are his audio drama series, The Swashbuckling Ladies Debate Society, and his storytelling show, The Story Well. He’s also a co-host on the horror film podcast, Sitting in the Dark.

He still has a lot to learn.
