J.R. Fettinger
He is often called the Spider-Yoda of the site. He joined the Podcast as a guest on Episode 3, and became a regular on Episode 4. He is well versed in over 50 years of Spider-history. That comes in handy when he is a panelist on the Crawlspace podcast.  Speaking of which, JR stars in CS podcast “Spider-History” which you can download and follow along.  He also thinks Norman Osborn is one of the best villains of all time.

 George Berryman
Native Texan George Berryman knows that what makes Spider-Man amazing is that he is his own man, does what is right, and doesn’t need to be on a superhero team. In his 10+ years with the site George has written reviews and editorial commentary on the direction of the Spider-Man in comics and other media. In addition, he has appeared as a podcast regular and also created the Fight Club on the Crawlspace forums, which has since evolved into the CS podcast “Friday Night Fights.” When not providing “edutainment” on Spider-Jeopardy, George can be found on the Crawlspace Discord, where he serves as Admin. George has been a Spider-Man fan since 1975, and also loves Elvis, Bacon, Whataburger, and Dr Pepper.

 Ashley Stapleton
In 2014, her husband actually introduced her to the site.   She had just started keeping up with the comics in earnest, so she thought, why not? So, she shot Brad an email. The team interviewed her not long after, and they just clicked! The rest is history.  As a Black Cat enthusiast Ashley, brings an insightful and intelligent voice to the podcast.  “Spidey is my boy.” and her contributions to this site and this community have proven that over and over.

---

Mohammed Jaffar-  Mohammed is man of few words, only saying what he needs to. but bring up Technology, Legend of Korra and especially Spider-Man or even Mary Jane, and he won’t shut up, no matter how hard you try. So much so that sometimes you wish you had a web shooter handy, so that you can web up his mouth. and although he’d never admit it, we believe he secretly considers Mary Jane to be above Spider-Man, I mean you should see his Mary Jane collection, and that of Black Cat. Mohammed currently posts our weekly previews and keeps us up to date on what’s going on at the main Comic Conventions.

André L. Santana- A native Brazilian who lives in Germany. After undergoing a shamanic ritual at the turn of the century, he discovered the Spider as his power animal.

Since then, he understood why he learned how to read with Spider-Man comics at the age of three and started collecting them and learned English at the age of eight; why his comic book collection now reaches nearly 7.000 issues; why he became a professional freelance photographer/cameraman and a teacher of English with a great passion for literature, writing, languages and cultures; why he’s a Beatles fan and a Rock bassist; why he traveled the world; why he studied journalism, mythology, philosophy, cinema and is now chasing a Masters degree in media; why he is also a Scorpio – no surprise there, either.
