Joshua Hines: Josh was born at a young age. Somehow, he landed a diploma in journalism, a BA in psychology, changed careers a lot and learned about failure. A writer, comic artist, counsellor and, arguably, a human. Some say his varied history makes him well-rounded; others, that he has a lot of edges.
Afolabi Opanubi: Afolabi was born in Lagos, Nigeria but grew up in Port Harcourt, a city in the Southern region of the country. He lived in Port Harcourt up until he was sixteen, after which he left for Canada to study and work. Afolabi is currently based in New Westminster, British Columbia.
Malcolm van Delst (regional host & presenter):Malcolm stands out as a lazy writer in a profession notorious for idlers and bums. She crowd-sourced this bio. A former lady who codes and sometime bitcoin miner fond of get-rich-quick schemes, with a knack for dramatifying, she would never use the upside down facelift technique in a photo.
Meaghan Hackinen (FBCW host): is a bike-obsessed bookworm on a lifelong hunt for exceptional cycling routes, both on and off the pavement.She lives on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Syilx/Okanagan People in Kelowna, BC.
