R. Francis Smith

R. Francis Smith started podcasting on January 1, 2005, and since then has had headphones surgically grafted to his skull, or so you'd think. Some 900 or so podcast episodes later, he decided to take the Pendant director's class and was promptly invited to take over directing Wonder Woman: Champion of Themyscira. As he is only now learning to say no, he agreed, and has enjoyed his time in the directing mines ever since.

Aside from being in front of the computer doing audio production, he spends his daylight hours in front of the computer at his job as a university systems administrator, plus there's the time in front of the computer playing Lord of the Rings Online with his wife, catching up on email and news feeds, and just plain web surfing. However, he can actually do things that don't involve a computer, including being a husband, a father of two girls, a once-a-month preacher, and a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism. Plus, there's always the Playstation 2. Guitar Hero won't just play itself, you know.

He is frequently convinced he's the only person at Pendant with neither background nor professional aspirations in drama, his sole experience having been taking one semester in high school before dropping the class in favor of economics. Seriously. But he's having fun anyway.
