About the Hosts

Woody Brown Profile Photo
Woody Brown

Co-Host / Producer

Woody grew up as an expat kid in the '80s and early '90s primarily living in places like Jakarta, Indonesia and Singapore.
His dad's job eventually brought them back to their home in the USA where he attended high school, and college, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology.
He credits his lust for creativity, in large part, to his unique childhood opportunity of being immersed in and/or experiencing so many cultures and countries in his youth.
Although he loved science - he followed his passion in music and co-founded the indie-rock band "The Modern Society" right out of college with Tyler Bence, Chris Martin, and Thomas Carter.

Among his passion for songwriting, singing, acting, writing, he loves to read any and every book or story he can get his hands on.
As a podcast co-host, producer, editor, sound designer, and narrator he is able to combine so many of his passions in one place.

When you're not listening to him on the weekly podcast "That Would Be Rad", you may hear him narrating or performing voiceover work.

He lives with his wife and two beautiful children in north Georgia, USA.
