WTF?
The Secret Lair is a podcast and blog which follows the real life “adventures” of Kris Johnson and Chris Miller. From the safety of the Lair, they will plan grand travels, trick unsuspecting victims into recorded interviews, plot the downfall of David Moore1, project manage their goal of tri-county domination2 and…frankly…talk about what catches their attention.
About Kris Johnson
Kris is a thirty-something Professional Computer Geek who lives in sunny3 Willoughby, Ohio. His personal secret lair is known as the International House of Johnson and is also the home of one wife, one child, two cats and the spirit of a small, angry, dead fish. The house is also home to a disconcerting number of spiders4, but Kris doesn’t like to dwell on that. Prior to becoming a professional geek, Kris dabbled in retail sales, agriculture and necromancy. In his spare time, Kris collects hobbies and avoids spelunking, base jumping and Ultimate Fighting. It is also possible to find him at KJToo.com, though his persistent presence there has never been satifactorily explained.
About Chris Miller
Christopher T. Miller stumbled into the web in 1987 has not looked back since. He discovered podcasting in late 2004, and before he knew it he was working with Evo Terra and Tee Morris on Podiobooks.com, which has since become one of the most popular sites on the web for serialized audiobooks. When not writing code, he is also the Co-Host of the Shadowdace podcast. Beyond his own podcasts, he has read for Escape Pod and enjoys lending his meager vocal talents to promos and episodes of podcasted fiction. In the past, he has also been a writer/publisher of role-playing games, a BBS sysop, a barista, a maker of golf clubs, a medievalist, an editor, and a Doctor Who fan. He lives in Cleveland, Ohio with his very tolerant wife, two daughters, one son, one frog, one cat, one rabbit, and one internet connection. During the day he has the honor of working with a truly amazing team at Mahalo.com.
About Natalie Metzger (Secretary of Artistic Propaganda)
By day Natalie assumes the mild mannered role of a network systems administrator. By night (and weekends, and sometime holidays), she telecommutes to The Secret Lair, providing a webcomic and other illustration services the overlords require. She’s still waiting on the Secret Lair engineers to work out the bugs in the Matter Emitting Aura Transporter, at which time she may relocate her office to the lair.
A self-proclaimed ‘podcast illustrator’, Natalie has created many art pieces for several podiobook productions including the cover art for The Heart of the Hunter by Sam Chupp, PDF cover art and character portraits for Playing for Keeps by Mur Lafferty, and story illustrations for Murder at Avedon Hill by P.G. Holyfield.
Her current residence is in the ‘Couve (a.k.a. Vancouver, Washington) along with her husband, cat, and fish army (sadly, the fish army do not have laser beams on their heads… yet.) Natalie can also be found wandering the halls of her blog, The Fuzzy Slug, posting selections of her work and anything else that tickles her fancy.
