He's been running and playing Dungeons and Dragons for six years and has found that running the game gives ample opportunity to both write and perform whatever role he wants.

Matthew Pritchard
Matthew is a top bloke who still has not provided us with a bio or photo, so I stole his Facebook pic. It’s pretty good.
Nikki McCrea
Nikki worked with us for one episode, and we’ve never been able to contact her since. I assume she is like the elusive unicorn, appearing to spread joy and magic, then vanishing to be held in myth and legend.
If you have a role, if no one else can help, and if you can find her, maybe you can hire Nikki McCrea

Crew
Those responsible
B.T. Calloway - creator, writer, editor, Co-director
B.T. is a Sydney based writer and podcaster with a boring day job. He came up with the title It Came from the Bottom of the Ocean, But also From Space in a hot tub in Jindabyne years earlier (true story), but was never able to get the story right until he had the idea of trying to write it as a radio play. That worked, so he wrote another, and another, and well you get the idea. Pulp Fury Radio is his first solo writing work to be publicly released. He is very nervous about it.
He is prone to spelling errors, enjoys making things up, is a big TTRPG nerd, and basically just wants to be Rod Serling.

Elliot Jay O’Neill is a Sydney based producer, podcaster, and audio editor.
