ELIOT GLAZER + JACKIE MANCINI are best friends. Eliot is a writer, comedian and the creator of two popular web series, It Gets Betterish and Eliot's Sketch Pad. Jackie's childhood diagnosis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder is possibly related to her current position as Associate Editor and only female employee at Guyspeed.

She has also written for Slate, Jezebel, New York Magazine and many other publications. She is the co-author, with Doree Shafrir, of Love, Mom: Poignant, Goofy, Brilliant Messages From Home based on the blog Postcards From Yo Momma.
TRACY ROWLAND is a writer, storyteller and TV editor. She is also that rare New Yorker who likes to talk. Except she's from New Jersey, which makes her rarer still. She has appeared onstage with The Moth, The Liar Show and the notorious BTK Band. She makes her living as a promotion and marketing editor and is, among other things, responsible for that Dateline promo involving 50-year-olds who want to hook up with your teenage daughter. She's got a one-eyed cat, a passport and a knack for physical injury. The stories write themselves. Also, she won an Emmy.
BRADY DALE worked as a progressive community organizer for over a decade before quitting his job to pursue writing and performance. He performs stories in and around New York and Philadelphia, including at First Person Arts and Philadelphia Improv Theater. He is the creator of the webcomic Eat The Babies and a roundtable storytelling podcast called The World Exists. Brady is also the author of the ebook Dream Her Back: Two Sci-Fi Breakup Novellas.
