About the Hosts

Dan

Co-Host / Listener of Banned Books

Dan Schulz's comedic talent and innovative spirit were on full display as co-host of the trailblazing "The Dan and Scott Show." Debuting on April Fool's Day 1996, this first-of-its-kind daily comedy podcast quickly became the most popular show on Marc Cuban's Broadcast.com network, earning recognition from Cuban himself as a pioneering force in the field.

Jennifer

Co-Host / Reader of Banned Books

Jennifer Davis has a unique talent for finding humor in everyday life, particularly as a mother of two young children. With her experience co-hosting the Hawaii Travel Podcast with Dan, Jennifer has honed her skills in entertaining audiences and bringing a lighthearted perspective to any topic.

Brax Underwood

Blog writer

Before Brax started writing for Banned Camp, he was the writer, editor, and publisher at The Maycomb Tribune.

Robot

Fact-Checker, Announcer

Robot is Banned Camp's trusty fact-checking virtuoso and the podcast's ad hoc announcer. He appears marginally smarter than Jennifer and Dan, tolerating them with a charming superiority complex. This ensures they stay on their toes and get the facts straight.
