About Us
Hello Crawlers is hosted by three long-time friends and three long-time podcasters: Grant Davis, John Rubio, and Martin Thomas.
Grant Davis is a co-owner of @recordatx , a creative audio and video production studio in Austin, Texas. He’s also a longtime co-host of @thebeerists Podcast, a craft beer review show. He lives with his wife and two kiddos in Austin.
John Rubio is a professional art director and graphic designer, working with some of the biggest brands including many breweries on their branding and design. He is the host of @thebeerists Podcast, a long-running award-winning craft beer show based in Austin, Texas. And he is a massive fan and proselytizer for the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. He has 4 cats (none of which are named Donut, I think) and he makes a bunch of DCC art (we repurposed one into our logo)!
Martin Thomas is a graphic designer, illustrator, and co-host of the entertainment podcast @double_toasted . A former colorist for @marvel and @dcofficial , he brings his sharp humor and deep pop culture knowledge to the show. He also has never read the book series before so all this wackiness is new to him.
