Ian spent his late teens and early 20s as a journalist and film critic for his online magazine The Entertainian. He was hired to continue the website for UGO.com and later Fandom.com.  During that time, Ian made appearances on television, radio and at the San Diego Comic Con.

He has been a guest on Tony Campolo and Shane Claiborne’s TV show Red Letter Christianity discussing the role of the church in the broader culture, and has appeared on podcasts for Homebrewed Christianity, Red Letter Christians and The Christian Manifesto.

Ian has conducted interviews with people including actors Terence Stamp and David Arquette, New York Times bestselling author Donald Miller with ‘Blue Like Jazz’ director Steve Taylor, platinum-selling singer/songwriter and ‘Dishwalla’ frontman J.R.

Tiffany Lucus | Writer

Had you told Tiffany five years ago that writing would have meaning in her life, she would have called you a fool.  Had you gone even further and told her that writing would be a valuable means of personal expression, she would have laughed in your face.

Tiffany has always considered English to be her weakest subject and previously thought writing to be a very large chore. But over the past couple of years at The Broken Telegraph she has relished the opportunity to share life: the hurt, joy, and the journey. Tiffany writes in order to reach out to others who might also be in her shoes, and in doing so, has grown in community with readers here and has enjoyed every minute of it.

Her writing has appeared on the Patheos blog slacktivist.

Tiffany was born and raised in Edmonds, Washington, where she currently lives with her husband Dave, her pug Bocephus, Dave’s lab Watson, and a feline named Suess.

Tiffany is currently reading:

Penny Simkin | The Birth Partner

and listening to:

Luther Vandross | Hidden Gems
