Dustin AKA Sofa Sitter

Sofa Sitter is the PR genius behind Tales of Bedlam and handles day-to-day HR issues with a steel fist.

He was raised by wolves on the cold Siberian Tundra and can smell a harassment suit 14.65 kilometers away.

When not promoting the World's most extraordinary Podcast, he enjoys collecting miniature donkeys and snail racing.

When asked what timeless knowledge he would pass on to the next generation of Podcasters, his advice was, "Eat 3 Bowls of Captain Crunchberries and call me in the morning."

Mr. Death Hades

Also known as the Grim Reaper, Death is our Employee Health/Wellness Director. When he’s not being assaulted by Giants or trapped in magical trees, he keeps our staff hearty and healthy with daily yoga sessions and some herbs we don’t ask too many questions about.

Since Death joined Tales of Bedlam, productivity has increased by 200%. His bright smile and cheery attitude are infectious and not at all terrifying.

In his minimal spare time, he enjoys long walks on the beach at sunset, knitting scarves for the homeless, and adopting feral kittens. Death is a dear treasure; again, he is in no way menacing or scary…

(I have been instructed to declare I have written this of my own free will and have not been threatened or coerced by the Grim Reaper.)
