The Staff
Tucker Whatley
Research and language correspondent Tucker Whatley of Austin, Texas is a veteran of media chicanery, having spent years as a radio DJ and freelance reporter before dipping his toes into this new-fangled “podcast” thing with Shonen Flop. When not helping with behind-the-scenes work and side content on Shonen Flop, Tucker enjoys playing video games, cooking, cycling, studying foreign languages, and writing (preferably when it doesn’t involve a brutal deadline). He’s also pretty good at whistling.
Nigel Francis
Our glorious and mysterious art benefactor who has paid for all of our cover art since the beginning. Nigel lives in a huge lavish mansion where he collects ancient stone masks that can turn the wearer into a vampire.

Dylan Crider
Dylan Crider (Cryder? Krider? Xridr?) is a Utah based voice actor and podcast editor. When he isn't staring at his computer mumbling incoherently about "mouth noises" he can be found making coffee, collecting hobbies as if they were Pokémon, or running around wearing glow-in-the-dark jeans. You can find his podcast, Anime Out of Context at animeoutofcontext.com.
Maxy Bee
Maxy has been reading manga since 2004, which is far too long, but has developed a useful obsession with cancelled Jump manga as a result, and has used this to varying effect on forums, podcasts, and social media over the years like some looming trivia monster. You can find Maxy on twitter @ maxythebee
Merliel
