Our Story
Quality dyslexic banter, where you want it, when you want it. Untied!
Shawn, a professor, and Jacob, a college graduate, talk about their educational experiences through the lens of their dyslexia in this casual podcast. Sometimes they are funny. Many times they laugh at their own jokes. Shawn often tells interesting stories from his life while Jacob asks sarcastic questions. Every podcast has bourbon featured except when Jacob observes Lent. The quality of the podcast improved dramatically when Lucas and Jacob G. joined the group.

Director and Badass. Gets a lot of sass from the hosts. That's not fair, but they are bullies according to people on the internet. Also acts, creates videos, and consistently pleads with the hosts to have a theme before they begin the podcast.

Research Guru: Bridget Bard
The coolest person on the podcast who looks things up when the hosts forget a name or some other fact--which happens often. Also hosted the podcast "Chutzpah." We need to pester her to create more content because it was freakin' interesting and insightful.
