Do you want to be a Journalist or Writer? Two Geeks Talking is the place for you! Here’s our current staff that are tirelessly working at our site giving you great content! Executive Producer / Host: Kurt Sasso Executive Producer / Host Kurt Sasso has had a passion for talking with creative people who tell interesting stories. Since 2008, he has been the driving force behind running and interviewing in a one person operation Two Geeks Talking (or TGT as the acronym that is most commonly used). With his love of all things Geeky from Cartoons to Comics/Webcomics, TV and Film, Music (of all kinds), and Video Games (yes, even from the Commodore 64 days) this show was a natural progression to expand his knowledge and showcase these talented persons that cross his path.Currently in his seventh year as host of the show, he continues to bring in famous guests that will share their personal experiences, stories and life aspirations all for the younger generations to watch, listen and learn as they too find their passion in life. As he has always said, “Everyone has a story to tell… It’s up to me to bring it out of them.” Past Journalists / Writers: Jeannie Di Giacomo Journalist Jeannie Di Giacomo is a human. She is nice, curious, enjoys the written word and a competitive game of hot hands. She has authentic prescription glasses, worn unironically while exploring her attraction to Science and the Arts. Trained in English Lit and Creative Writing, competent in Philosophy, and present in Psychology, her post-graduate works have focused heavily on scripts, fiction, and content creation. New to the world of journalism, Jeannie is titillated by the opportunity to ask others the questions she asks herself. And then write about it. Steph McDowell Writer / Reviewer / Cosplayer Steph McDowell is a cosplayer, loves to read and write about all things Geeky. She will be putting in more about herself so check back. (Coming soon) Sarah Lau Journalist Sarah Lau is a Digital Journalism and Communication, Media, and Film student at the University of Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. She joined Two Geeks Talking to polish her writing skills and has interviewed Chris Ecker (Big Bang Comics), Danielle Corsetto (Girls With Slingshots), Jamie Jennings (Lavender Legend), and more. The 20-year-old enjoys anything from video games like League of Legends to Harvest Moon, creates her own costumes and plushies, using Yelp and Instagram, watching Disney movies, and more. The Two Geeks Talking journalist can also be found watching Youtubers like Anna Akana, Bubzbeauty, WongFu Productions, and similar creators.“Over the summer or long periods of time, people forget or get out of practice of things they don’t practise. I didn’t want that to happen to my writing so I joined Two Geeks Talking. I appreciate having a routine and having to remind myself to meet deadlines otherwise my organizational and writing skills would reset from one,” shares Sarah. (Summer Intern 2014) Past Convention Staff: Mike Ball Camera Operator A long time friend, rival and fellow Geek of Kurt Sasso over the decades, Mike has been known for his vast knowledge of Comics and Video Games.
