These are the people who make TWoP possible!
There are two types of Staff pages. The Show Staff pages list the recappers for an individual show. The Show Staff page for any particular show can be accessed from that show's section. A complete list of all shows, past and present can be found on the Shows page.
The other type of staff page is the Master Staff page which lists every staff member who's worked for TWoP since the gold rush days.

| Bio | When not recapping hoity-toity shows on HBO, Aaron spends most of his time thanking various deities that his job in customer service no longer requires him to speak with actual customers. He also enjoys reading, going to the movies, long moon-lit walks on the beach, and occasionally stalking both Lauren Ambrose and Mike Binder (for entirely different reasons). He reviews all marriage proposals fairly and equitably, and plans to accept as many as possible. |

Whenever she can think of anything to say, she airs her id at Frolic and Detour. |
