Rob Vincent, also known as Rob T Firefly, is an artist, performer, writer, comedian, journalist, engineer, hacker, voice actor, improvisor, editor, producer, and nerd of all trades who has been making New York radio for over a decade as part of the weekly hacker talk-radio show and podcast Off the Hook.

In addition to various audio pursuits, Rob has been seen doing standup comedy and/or puppetry once in a very blue moon.

Gila Hava Drazen is a hacker-adjacent writer, singer, and amateur pop-culture historian. A relative newcomer to the radio world (who can also be heard on Off the Hook), she is grateful for nepotism and for the creator of Modern.Technology.
