KEVIN ALLISON is the creator and host of the live storytelling show and podcast Risk! and a member of the legendary TV comedy troupe The State.

COURTNEY MAUM is a humor writer for Electric Literature. Her work has also been featured in Tin House, The Hairpin, Thought Catalog, Bomb Magazine, The Rumpus, and many others. She is also a Literary Death Match champion.

GREG OLEAR is the author of the novels Fathermucker and Totally Killer, the senior editor of The Nervous Breakdown, and the founding editor of The Weeklings. He lives in New Paltz, New York.

TYLER COATES is an editor at BlackBook magazine, and has written for The Awl, Capital New York, Gothamist, This Recording, and Yahoo, among others. He lives in Brooklyn.

BEN LILLIE is a high-energy particle physicist, and the co-founder and director of The Story Collider. He is also a Moth StorySLAM champion, writes for TED, and likes to say life is different now, largely because it is.

HOW I LEARNED is a live series featuring writers, storytellers, comedians, bloggers, and other raconteurs holding forth on lessons learned, unlearned, relearned -- or in process. It all happens once a month, and sometimes more than that, which just basically means you will have the best night of your life on those nights repeatedly.

BLAISE ALLYSEN KEARSLEY is a writer and storyteller as well as the creator, producer, and host of The How I Learned Series, and she also does some other stuff, too. She's appeared on The Rejection Show, The Liar Show, The Soundtrack Series, The Story Collider, Steamboat, Mortified, Cringe, and Literary Death Match, among others. Her writing was published in several places, a long time ago, that are perhaps not worth mentioning by name right now. One time, she was awarded a writing fellowship in Vermont where she got electrocuted and maybe almost killed a horse. Visit her at your own risk at bazima.com.
