ABOUT THE GUEST

In and out of comics for years, Lauren joined the podcasting scene in 2021! Starting out by recording interviews and writing reviews for The Wednesday Pull list, she's gone on to work with other groups such as The GWW and The Comic Book Yeti. She's had the pleasure to interview fantastic creators such as Ram V, Stephanie Phillips, Rodney Barnes, and more, while her reviews have been recognized by publishers such as Image Comics! Since then, she's branched out into her own nerdy world with Your Friendly Neighborhood Comic Show on Youtube and co-hosting the first and only Nightcrawler podcast: Simply Amazing!

She's a fan of many things, but you'll usually hear her yelling the most about Nightcrawler, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and badass women. Unabashedly passionate and quirky, her biggest goal in anything she does is to connect with people and nurture community!
