Of course this podcast would not exist if it were not for the Herculean efforts of our podcast engineer Lucas P. Jones. Lucas edits all the podcasts on the site and works multiple real world jobs. The fact he has edited this podcast at hours of the night, in a car on a cross-country drive or on his breaks from work is a testament to not only his character, but his work ethic. We joke that Lucas is our Chewbacca, but truer words were never spoken. He’s the glue of the show and keeps us running.
So enjoy this photo of Lucas in spandex with Steel Panther…
