Co-Creator, Writer and Producer
They/Them

Hero wears a lot of hats at Monstrous HQ. As well as being the principal writer and producer, they also play the lead voice role in both Monstrous Agonies and Travelling Light. When they’re not podcasting, Hero can usually be found in a pile of blankets and woolly jumpers, watching Doctor Who with their eyes closed.

Co-Creator and Illustrator
He/Him

Matt is an Irish artist and illustrator, and the co-creator of Travelling Light. He works with Hero to shape the story and style of the show, as well as drawing weekly episode illustrations. He has a lot of opinions about Star Wars, and will share them if you give him half a chance. That is a threat.

Producer, Editor and Director
She/They

As our script and story editor, Sophie helps keep Hero’s writing on the straight and narrow - or the queer and baroque, as the case may be. They also produce and direct on The Lion and the Adder and play the Understudy in Monstrous Agonies, as well as being hands down the best dressed person on the team.

Producer and Sound Designer
He/Him

Eira is a writer and audio drama creator based in Manchester and currently on loan to us from his own production company, Hanging Sloth Studios. At Monstrous HQ, Eira works as a producer and sound designer on The Lion and the Adder. When he’s not doing audio drama things, he’s usually found writing novels and/or hanging out with his cats.

The Lion and the Adder follows gadabout demonologist Robin Sylvester as he solves the most magical crimes 1920s London has to offer.
