ABOUT CINDY ARENA
Coming from the perspective of a degenerate boomer (also her podcasts name) Cindy’s comedy draws on her childhood with a family in the adult entertainment business, and life as the mom of two dumb millennials.

ABOUT JACK DAWKINS
Jack Dawkins is a storyteller, a rapper, and a poet. He also cooks good food and runs really far. His use of the English language has been compared to Michael Phelps’ performance on Saturday Night Live: Wildly entertaining for none of the reasons you would expect. He is, at his core, and in his music, deeply human, and a lover of excessive comma use. Most importantly, he loves you.
