About

Originally the Midmo Club started off as a collaborative blog written using Google wave. However Lee and Dan quickly realised that they were having much more fun putting together a supplemental podcast for the site, and decided to concentrate purely on audio.

Because Lee and Dan live on opposite sides of the earth they tend to only be able to get together over Skype when one has just woken up and the other is just about to go to bed. This goes some way to explain the quality of the podcast.

If you would like to download one of our audio promos to play on your podcast you can do so here (make sure you let us know so we can reciprocate):

Management Committee

Lee – Senior Executive President and Co-Host

Lee is a pop-culturalist who grew up weighing everything’s worth as it related to pop culture references. He is also an aspiring illustrator and lives in Australia with his wife who is perfectly normal and reads books that do not contain robots which Lee finds odd but charming.

• Dan – Executive Senior President and Co-Host

  Part time stay-at-home dad and part time mental health nurse, Dan cut his pop culture teeth on Star Wars, DC Superheroes, and The Muppets and never saw a need to develop his tastes much further than that. He lives in Huddersfield, England with his wife, two children, and a flock of megalomaniac chickens and ducks.
