He also acts as an assistant to autograph signings company Echo Base Media and once ran the SeparatistDestroyers YouTube channel for collecting reviews. Ruari currently studies Journalism/Media at Rathmines College in the Republic of Ireland and is delighted that the Everything Geek Podcast has become a part of the media (with numerous celebrity agents considering the podcast part of the official press).
Ruari enjoys following geek news, attending conventions, interviewing people from the entertainment industry and giving his opinions on subjects related to his favourite fandoms.
Ruari submitted an essay on fandom for his college in March 2015 and subsequently did a presentation on the essay in April 2015.

Lawron Pinson lives in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States of America and loves all things geek. His first connection with anything geeky started by getting into comic book movies at a young age and he grew up loving everything about them.
However, it was in 2008 that Lawron really became part of the geek world when he began watching a show called Star Wars: The Clone Wars. After following the show for its first three seasons, he had fallen completely in love with it. His love and passion for the show became so much that later that year, before the next season began, he went on Facebook and sought out other Facebook pages and fans who he believed might love the show as much as he does. Through Facebook, Lawron discovered that many fans of the show were out there. However, there weren’t very many Facebook pages that were dedicated to giving those fans a fun way to stay connected and updated on the show.
Considering this, Lawron decided to take it upon himself to begin a page that would give such updates on the show. Just after a few short months, the page began to do quite well, gaining a few hundred followers – After about a year, the page had grown to a couple thousand followers and some of those followers and friends had become quite close to the page and would frequently visit it.
Fun fact: One such follower was Ruari Williamson, who you all know as the founder and lead host of the podcast!
List of fandoms: Star Wars, The Walking Dead, Young Justice, Game Of Thrones, TRON, Sherlock, Arrow and Bates Motel.

Al Basharu enjoys reading Comics first and foremost and catching up on the TV shows he regularly watches, including Game of Thrones, Arrow, The Flash, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and The Walking Dead. He also reads a lot of Manga and loves watching Anime shows. Al believes he isn’t a big movie buff unless a Superhero flick is on when he aims to be the first in line. Outside of fandoms, Al tries to keep a healthy lifestyle, from eating healthy to jogging, swimming and playing football during the week.
Al firmly believes we get inspirations from all sorts of things and we use these things to improve ourselves. His first inspiration was the Man of Steel himself, Superman. As he knows, he can’t shoot lasers from his eyes but he has always been completely captivated and engaged by how powerful Superman is and how he is still striving to do the right thing. Al thinks it’s a great way to approach life and doesn’t believe there is any greater inspiration than Superman.

Dan Georgiev cannot remember a time when he was not in discussions about one franchise or another. He remembers that his earliest interactions with people in fandoms were through various forums and websites where he loved to share his thoughts and opinions on one subject or another. Things really changed for Dan when he created his first Youtube account Dan Grievous and Facebook came into existence. Back in the beginning of 2007 he began posting tributes to things he loved as a fan.
Dan is grateful to Facebook as he believes it changed everything and made interactions with people from all fandoms much easier. Dan was on Facebook when Star Wars: The Clone Wars was airing and he joined a small Facebook group called The Star Wars Underworld. The group grew from a small group to a giant venture that includes a Facebook page, a very informative website and a great podcast. As a result of joining their group, he was able to meet a large number of people with similar interests. He then joined various other pages and groups that were connected to or he found because of The Star Wars Underworld. The Star Wars Underworld is how Dan first encountered our podcast founder Ruari Williamson. Dan has since been part of several Star Wars themed podcasts, a collecting podcast and he eventually became a co-host and guest banner editor on the Everything Geek Podcast.
