Ming Chen entered the world of podcasting in 2007 as one of the architects behind Kevin Smith's SModCast Network. His first responsibilities included all technical aspects of the network as well as the design, maintenance and marketing of SModCast's online presence. As the network grew and more shows were added, Ming was asked to create and co-host podcasts of his own including the award winning "I Sell Comics," "The SModCo SMorning Show" and "The Secret Stash: The Official Comic Book Men Companion Podcast." He can also be heard as an occasional guest on the massively popular "Tell 'em Steve Dave" podcast.
In 2011 Ming became a cast member of the hit AMC TV unscripted show "Comic Book Men" along with A Shared Universe co-founder Michael Zapcic. Based out of Kevin Smith's comic book store "Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash" in Red Bank, NJ, this show focuses on amazing comics and vintage toys and the stories behind them. It is the first TV show to use podcasting as part of its narrative.
Based on the popularity of the show, Ming became a frequent featured guest at numerous comic book conventions around the world. These conventions include the New York Comic Con, Comicpalooza in Houston, Walker Stalker Con, Heroes and Villains FanFest, Edinburgh Comic Con, Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, C2E2 in Chicago and more. It was at these conventions that listeners of Ming's podcasts began approaching him for advice on starting their own shows. These interactions became the genesis behind A Shared Universe PodcaStudio.
In 2017 Ming Chen and Mike Zapcic decided to open A Shared Universe in Eatontown, NJ in an effort to help aspiring podcasters start their own shows and to help experienced podcasters become even better. Their goal is to create an amazing environment where all podcasters can create, collaborate, record and be inspired by this amazing new medium.

Wine Educator and Entertainer Sandra Zotti
Sandra Zotti's unofficial training as a wine expert began as a child thanks to her parents, two first-generation immigrants from Campania, Italy. Introduced to a biccherino di vino rosso by her parents, Sandra learned at an early age to enjoy half a glass of red wine at the dinner table while listening to Puccini play throughout the house, a family tradition that ignited her passion for wine and food.
After a childhood full of culture and the arts, a career in the "finer things" seemed a natural step for Sandra. As a young woman in New York, Sandra trained with Kevin Zraly at his Windows on the World Wine School and studied at the American Sommelier Association, followed by a position as Director of Events for social media guru Gary Vaynerchuk's Wine Library in New Jersey.
In 2015, Sandra helped to create and launch PerUs, one of Napa Valley's newest cult labels made by acclaimed winemaker and recipient of numerous 100-point scores, Russell Bevan. Sandra successfully completed the Introductory Examination into the prestigious Court of Master Sommeliers and is a Certified Italian Wine Specialist with the North American Sommelier Association.
She is currently pursuing an Italian Wine Scholar Certification with the Wine Scholar Guild. "My love of wine is connected to my love of the arts," notes Sandra, who is also a gifted classical pianist having studied for three decades. Sandra fell in love with the concept of creating wine-centered events for those who want to learn, to have fun and live life to the fullest. She is available for various wine services in the tri-state area.

Hip Hop Artist Young Benny
Hailing from Essex County, New Jersey, Young Benny is an up and coming artist with a penchant for writing infectious music and relatable narratives. Inspired by critically acclaimed artists like Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne, Young Benny took a plunge into pursuing music full-time about a year ago. Prior to starting his musical journey, Benny was a football player on the verge of making it to the NFL.
Young Benny is greatly inspired by real life experiences and hardships, including his older brother who suffers from autism. These personal experiences greatly influence his artistry and writing style. Fueled by the people who don’t believe in and a strong desire to support his family, Young Benny continues to push himself to achieve greater heights in music. His ability to write infectious music has not only garnered him a sizable fan base, but also a song with fellow New Jersey rapper, Tsu Surf.
Armed with big dreams and plenty of energy to spare, Young Benny seeks to positively influence the world and connect with like-minded individuals through his music. Young Benny is no doubt, well on his way to becoming one of the most phenomenal artists of this generation.
