The people behind

Ok, this part needs some introduction. The staff page is not mainly intended to be an ego-trip, but to give you an idea of what the people behind the tube are like.

So, why would you care?

Well, we thought that when reading a review or article, it might help you to understand the viewpoints better if you're slightly familiar with the writer.

For instance, when reading a music review, it's often quite tricky to know whether to agree or not, since you don't know what kind of music the writer likes.

This was the main reason for creating the staff page, not to boost our egos.
