About Ken (the handsome one with glasses)
 

I'm a two-career guy.  My first career was working in the children's entertainment and education industries for companies like Disney Online and Rabbit Ears Productions, where I produced over 30 half-hour shows that were on Showtime, PBS, video, audio, and books on tape.  I decided then to go for the big bucks and switched to teaching history in an inner-city high school (where I met Cliff).  I retired in 2022 and now play golf and make podcasts. I have three awesome kids and I've been married to my best friend for over 37 years.  Dogs Rule!

About Cliff (the agitated guy)
I'm also - kinda, sort of, but not really - a two-career guy. After spending 16 years teaching rhetoric, composition, and English literature at a bunch  of universities, the ever increasing adjunctification of higher education forced me to hang up my tweed blazer with patches at the elbows and become a high school history/English teacher. My articles, essays, and short stories have appeared in a bunch of places and I've presented at a bunch of conferences.  Unlike Ken, I will not pander to our canine audience, no matter how cute they all might be.
