Jeremiah Lewis

The founder of Fringecast is Jeremiah Lewis, more commonly known as J-Lew. Jeremiah was born on the steps of a church in northern Canada, found by a hobo priest, and raised with senior citizens in a utopian society. As he grew he realized he was manifest destined for greatness of some kind. In college he met Joe and Tim and realized that greatness was in the form of a media show. However, much like the raisin in the sun, it was a dream deferred.

After moving to Los Angeles, Jeremiah became convinced that the only way to make money was to do a free podcast. With the help of Joe and Tim, the Fringecast was born, and out of that was born the realization of that destiny of greatness. Also, hobos suddenly gained in popularity. Coincidence?

Ever since then, Jeremiah has lived a life of ease and has also learned the value of a well-cooked steak. And the Fringecast has become the most listened-to podcast on the Internet^*.

Tim Fescoe

Tim hails from the nether regions of the soul. Having fallen outside the realm of destiny at a young age, Tim has made it his lifelong quest to travel through time, because he's pretty sure he was never destined to do that.

Perplexed as to why no one donates to support his remarkable podcasting efforts, Tim makes his way by recycling gatorade bottles he stole from hobos. Often failing to redeem his recycling receipts in the allotted 30 day window only furthers his need and desire to travel through time.

Tim has come up with countless foolproof money-making schemes in his short career on the Fringecast, but they have all been stolen by listeners. If only he could go back in time and not share that information. He now fully accepts his role as the "expendable one" on the Fringecast and realizes the Da Vinci Bit's commercial was the high point of his career.

Joe Blum

Joe's birth and childhood is just as mysterious as his death, especially since he's still alive. Some say he was born in a log cabin in the woods of Wisconsin, raised by a band of renegade cheese makers. Others say he wasn't born at all but rather appeared at this time and place in history because he felt like it and had nothing better to do.

One of Joe's goals in life is to be true. Another goal is that instead of wishing he were someone awesome like Spider-man or Ryan Gosling or an indie rock star, that someday someone out there wishes they were Joe Blum.

How Joe got the awesome head of hair he has is similar to how Spider-Man got his spidey powers or how Bob Dylan learned how to play guitar. As he was ascending a tall mountain in the Himalayas he stumbled upon the preserved carcass of a wooly mammoth encased for many years in frozen ice. Joe chipped at the ice until he uncovered a small patch of mammoth hair. And when his hands touched the mane of the ancient beast a strange force surged into his body. Since that day Joe has had hair that gods are envious of.
