The Players

The people behind the microphones (and the phone lines).

Marc Chambers on the mic in the Low Budget Barn

Marc Chambers

Marc hosted every era of the show, from the 2007 Free FM broadcasts to the final episode in 2019. Along the way he produced failed sitcom pitches, the Marc-Tracker App, a school board candidacy, and at least one submarine design contest.

Tod Perry kicked back on a curbside couch with a coffee

Tod Perry

Original co-host, from the Free FM days through episode 263. He came back for the revival in 2017 and stayed to the end. In between, he turned up now and then as a celebrity guest host.

John Salwin out for Hite beers

John Salwin

Announcer and third mic through the early podcast era. His Last Show Ever was episode 263. He came back anyway, riding the News Monster through 2013, and once performed a stirring Christmas poem.

Mike Cioffi leaning back with his feet up in the studio

Mike Cioffi

A regular presence from early in the podcast era, then co-host from episode 264 through the end of the LBPR run in 2013. Home of the Lock of the Week and the Mafia Minute. His love of hockey was, at one point, available for purchase.

Darcy screening calls at the Free FM studio console

Darcy

The voice on the phone. Darcy screened calls and chipped in as a contributor during the Free FM broadcasts, the earliest days of the show.

Britt

Held the third chair for a season of her own in the spring of 2010, which ended the way it had to: with an episode called Britt Out.

Seena

Took over the third chair after Britt and kept turning up throughout the Rotating Chair era and beyond, up to and including a Comic-Con cosplay deliberation.

Brent Butler

On loan from Megaboom Radio during the spring of 2011. Filled in when Marc was in the desert, and told at least one terrible story.

Recurring Characters

The show also maintained a deep bench of experts, including David DeMarco, relationship expert and author of How To Score in 38 Minutes (Or Less) for Less than $4.99, later available in robotic wingman form; The Love Robot, who accurately answered your questions; Johnny Nightmare, proprietor of a ghoulish Halloween spooktacular; and Lampidi Stelami, who sang the hits.
