About Han­del: I am a long­time gamer from the days of the Atari 2600 who to this day will not stop pick­ing up con­trollers. I grew up watch­ing wrestling and really strange and twisted movies with my mom and to this day we share a lot of the same inter­ests. I got into My Take Radio through my friend­ship with Rich that started on the MySpace video game forum. The inter­net has been an excel­lent net­work­ing resource gen­er­at­ing many gen­uine friend­ships and oppor­tu­ni­ties like mod­er­at­ing MySpace and My Take Radio forums. My Take radio is impor­tant to me because it lets users really be them­selves with very lit­tle restric­tions and Rich has allowed me to be a huge part of the site so it is only right that I put my all into it. Feel free to tell me what you like or dis­like about my con­tri­bu­tions to the site. If you ask, I will respond.

Bryan aka Bronx-Staff Writer

About Bryan: I’m into almost every­thing we dis­cuss here, which is a plus, because I have an opin­ion on it all most of the time, good or bad, but I’m also not a movie snob or game Nazi, or a very seri­ous guy for the most part, so I can under­stand cer­tain things from dif­fer­ent angles that many peo­ple don’t seem to real­ize.
I’ve been a hard­core gamer, comic book fan, Wrestling, TV and movie watcher for­ever, I also used to be heav­ily into mar­tial arts, many moons ago, and I have a pretty good wealth of knowl­edge on every­thing Spider-Man, so I’ll always touch on any of those sub­jects at any given time should I see an oppor­tu­nity.
I have a cer­tain respectable level of skill in almost any 2D video game you put in front of me, espe­cially Mega Man and Street Fighter games, which I’ve been play­ing since I was a wee lad, if you’re look­ing for a chal­lenge, hit me up.
I love writ­ing and I love every­thing My Take Radio is pro­mot­ing, which is, in its sim­plest form, just all around fun shit.
You’ll see me write some well thought out columns (if I may say so myself) on every­thing under the sun from time to time, when time per­mits ( I am a mar­ried father of 3), so keep an eye out for those and feel free to drop me a com­ment or two and I’ll be happy to talk, debate or straight out argue with you in the name of fun con­cern­ing any top­ics.
Also, if you want to get on my good side, talk Spidey or Street fighter and the pants come off.

Josh-Staff Writer, Author of Bran­don Sparks and the Hid­den Sun

About Josh:Joshua Fuld was born in Man­has­set, New York and grew up on Long Island in the tri­umvi­rate of Plain­view, Syos­set, and Wood­bury (arranged alpha­bet­i­cally so as not to hurt anyone’s feel­ings). Amaz­ingly, he sur­vived the mean hall­ways of Syos­set High School (pic­ture One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, but with many more Mer­cedes) and moved upstate to Hobart Col­lege where he majored in Eng­lish (imag­ine that).

Fuld’s entire adult life has been con­sumed with a sin­gu­lar pas­sion; bring­ing the adven­tures of Bran­don Sparks to life. In sac­ri­fice to this pur­suit, and to the cre­ation of the entire seven book series, Fuld has turned his back on a promis­ing career in tele­vi­sion. Fuld’s ambi­tion is to bring chil­dren back to read­ing, and Bran­don Sparks and the Hid­den Sun is the first step in his mas­ter plan.

Joshua Fuld is a proud mem­ber of the SCBWI.

“I don’t care what you say about me, just spell my name right.” –P.T. Barnum

I am by day a mild-mannered free­lance artist who is fairly cer­tain that her life is one big Vin­cent Van Gogh moment on the hori­zon. That is to say, I will likely be dead before I reach artis­tic celebrity. I do how­ever intend die with a lit­tle less lead paint poi­son­ing and per­haps both my ears (luck­ily hot male pros­ti­tutes are few and far between).

Mean­while, all this frus­trated “genius” needed an out­let (or sev­eral) and what bet­ter way to do that then to indulge my per­chance habit of rant­ing at pro­fes­sional fight­ing. Known online to be some­thing of a flier “Nazi” and Twit­ter ranter, I have been pretty stub­born in my insis­tence that Pro­fes­sional Wrestling and MMA are more art than mind­less enter­tain­ment. With that said I will call pro­mo­tions on every­thing from poor writ­ing, use­less tal­ent to guys who have for­got­ten what “retire means” and shady back­stage busi­ness ruin­ing prod­ucts that would, could, and should be great fun. I started stalk­ing the MTR crew, when they became one of the few sites to inter­view one of my very favorite wrestlers (and actu­ally CARE what he had to say). Since then I have been like the home­less kit­ten they left milk out for and then fol­lowed them home.

In my spare time (when I am not being a Twit­ter addict), I watch a LOT of real­ity TV… So basi­cally any­thing with the words “real” or “true” or “bad” while play­ing on NBC Uni­ver­sal or MTV Net­works (ALL the MTV Net­works (yea I’m look­ing at you Spike and Logo), I will likely watch. I also fur­ther rot out my brain cells with well crafted ani­ma­tion, para­nor­mal chick lit, Super­nat­ural (the TV show & ani­ma­tion), hor­ror movies (with GOOD spe­cial effects (cause how Slick sits through so many with noth­ing that even comes close to being a real­is­tic 3D par­ti­cle gen­er­a­tor I will never know). Any­thing with Michelle Rodriguez in it (who kinda makes me wish I was a guy), will also usu­ally get a thumbs up from me.
