Amelia is a big ol’ nerd, and doesn’t care much for reality.

As such, she loves everything sci-fi, fantasy, and mythic, including the creatures that live in those worlds. An illustrator and sometimes-writer, she has a sporadically-updated fantasy webcomic called Quest-ish, and is working on a couple of sci-fi novels (also sporadically).

If you can’t get enough of her chipmunk voice, she’s also a co-host of the Star Wars discussion podcast Far Far Away Radio. You can find her on her twitter @amalimali, or visit her portfolio website.

Jade is what someone might call an “animal enthusiast”.

She’s studied animal behavior and worked with tigers, leopards, lions, cougars, and lemurs—just to name a few. As a rescue advocate, Jade is often hanging out at the animal shelter and has stuffed her home with 3 rescues and 2 fosters. Have you seen the adorable dog video? She has. What’s that obscure cat breed? She knows. Why do tigers do that weird thing? She will tell you, and then share even more facts you didn’t know you needed.

You can find her big cat and rescue pet photos on her Instagram @jadeoliviak, or tweet at her @jadeoliviakay so she can learn how to use Twitter.

Welcome to Queerly There.

Solo host Rowan explores queer representation in media through discussions of LGBTQIA+ characters, common tropes, and analyses of stories through rainbow tinted glasses. Queerly There is one part love letter, one part nerdy critical analysis, one part frustrated queer rant.

Filled with humour, bad puns, and a little bit of love for the shows that do it right, Queerly There is a shorter solo show that picks apart the good, the bad…

…and the very bad.

Rowan is an intersectional feminist, huge nerd, and big queer.

A perpetual student and wannabe pop-culture critic, Rowan has a degree in Philosophy and Classical studies and is in his 3rd year of a Creative Technology degree majoring in Film.

A passionate supporter of all things gay and nerdy, he has been described by friends as an enthusiastic and caring dork who loves tea and puns. In the past, Rowan has volunteered as an interviewer with PrideNZ.com and on the media team with NZ Queer youth organisation Inside Out.

Clare’s love for Star Wars started at an early age.

She is a medical (un)professional, mixologist, and a Salacious Crumb fangirl. When she isn’t busy crying over the same Star Wars scenes over and over again, you can probably find her at a wine and cheese tasting or hosting the show Databank Discussions on the Imperial Senate’s Patreon page.

You can find her on Twitter @CStribs & Instagram @cstribs.

Nicky is an aspiring writer and stand-up comedy dabbler.

One of Nicky’s earliest memories is watching Return of the Jedi and he’s been obsessed since. When not talking about Star Wars on the Imperial Senate Podcast, he’s thinking about Star Wars, reading about Star Wars, and collecting Star Wars things. Wow, he really does need more hobbies.
