Narrated by Jonathan Sharp

I was born in southern New Mexico in the nexus between Area 51, Trinity Site, and Spaceport America. I attended culinary school in Portland Oregon and have managed a number of restaurants, cafés, and bakeries.  By day I am the produce manager of a natural grocery store. By night I practice narration and voice acting while dreaming of a future filled with world travel via sailboat, along side my lovely wife Paige.

  1. What happened to SSS on Stitcher? Hasn’t played on Stitcher in over a month!

  2. Tony,

    The interview with Serah Eley was just outstanding. Escape Pod has been ONE of my go-to podcasts since Steve Eley got it off the ground, and my horizon tilted a bit upon learning what’s been going on in her life. Excellent work!
