Brigitte Dale

In early 2006, Brigitte Dale became co-host of Catty Girls Discuss, a Lee Enterprises audio podcast covering fashion and relationships. The Catty Girls podcast quickly attracted a substantial national weekly audience. A few months later, Lee Enterprises added both a blog and newspaper advice column to the Catty Girls brand, both of which quickly proved to be as successful as the show.

Brigitte made her first video blog in the summer of 2006 for a small, brand new pop culture site called Popcrunch. Her show grew from single digits to thousands of daily viewers in the course of a month, and later that year Brigitte moved her daily video podcast to AOL's TV Squad with TV Squad Daily with Brigitte."

In the 2008 Yahoo! Video Awards, Brigitte was named Internet Personality of the Year. In late 2008 her video podcasts moved to abcfamily.com, and Brigitte moved from Lincoln, Nebraska to Los Angeles California. Brigitte does all the writing, filming and editing for the show, and this personal approach to her work has helped build a strong and growing community of fans.

Brian Brushwood, Bizarre Magic

As a child, Brian possessed an intense love of magic... which mysteriously vanished when he became a teenager. Once in college, Brian rekindled his interest in magic, studying sleight-of-hand and performing close-up magic as a part-time job. In fact, Brian was off to a quick start in a career of deception, as he was able to convince his professors to allow him to perform a magic show for his senior honors thesis. Brian got an "A," and upon graduation began performing his unique brand of bizarre magic at clubs and schools. Beginning in Texas, Brian's audiences grew from hundreds to thousands as he quickly captured "Best Club Magic," "Best Comedy Magic," and "Best Stage Magic" awards from the Texas Association of Magicians and broke out onto the national scene.

From colleges to corporations, Brian has now become one of the most in-demand and original performers today. He has been sought after by national TV shows such as "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," praised by colleagues such as Teller (of magicians Penn and Teller), and critics call his show "exciting," "unique," and "flawless." Brian is the author of The Professional's Guide to Fire Eating; Pack the House; and Cheats,Cons, Swindles, and Tricks. He has appeared on dozens of television and radio broadcasts, including "The Tonight Show," and programs on ABC, NBC, FOX, the BBC, E! and more.

Brian also tours heavily, appearing at colleges, clubs, and on television in almost every state in the U.S.  When not performing, Brian lectures, writes, and plays with his two daughters Penelope (4 years old) and Josephine (6 months old) in Austin, Texas.
