Art Carlson is the former manager and lovable patriarch of a small radio station in Cincinnati, Ohio. Following a format change, he decided to leave his position with the company in 1982 and pursue his first love, music. Since then he has recorded 11 albums of Hopi wedding anthems, including the legendary “Two Lungs, One Me” which was nominated for 6 Hopi-ey Awards.

Crashboy is the sobriquet of a former member of the legendary comedy team of David & Glenny (due to privacy concerns, we can not divulge which member he was) The nickname Crashboy emerged following an accident in which his alternate fuel equipped AMC Gremlin was mistaken for a chemical weapon and rammed by angry Dutchman during a comedy tour of Amsterdam.

He is not bondable.

Andrea Rooz got her enthusiasm for reading in front of a crowd thanks to her Grade 4 teacher who humored her by letting her read aloud in class again and again. Stints in musical theatre, playing such coveted roles as ‘Annie’ and Snoopy in ‘You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” led to a career in broadcasting. A veteran Toronto radio gal who has branched out into contract voice work, some of Andrea’s clients include Research in Motion, XM Satellite, The Loyalty Group, Economical Insurance, and Benjamin Moore.

Ellen Smithee began her now illustrious producing career at a 5000 watt radio station in Fresno California. Her work on the local hit show “Celebrities Love Young’uns” won her acclaim throughout most of the general Fresno area. Following her unfortunate stint into the field of 3D radio, the nerds were fortunate to steal her away from her gig as sound engineer on “The John Schuck Cowtown Variety Hour”
