Stephen Dainty
Technical wizardry and general brilliance
Stephen is a medical physicist, and works at the local hospital. He also does freelance photography, and audio-visual work. He edits the podcast, produces videos and provides technical and creative expertise.
Elizabeth Grosvenor
Podcast transcribing
Elizabeth transcribes the podcasts. Mostly so she can get a sneak-peak at the content.
But she finds it much easier to get motivated when there's a deadline looming than a fortnight before it's strictly necessary (has a preference for perceiving, if you're fluent in Myers Briggs), so quite often her 'sneak-peak' is only the Thursday night before the podcast lands on a Friday!
