Warren Evans (the Bart of Darkness) is the creator and owner of one of the most prolific Simpsons fan & collector pages around. He fosters an extensive online community, details about his massive collection of rare memorabilia, and highlights some of the best moments and episodes The Simpsons have to offer. He also has a podcast called “Simpsons is Greater Than,” where he expands on the cultural impact of The Simpsons. James Hicks holds a Bachelor of Arts in Media Production from the University of Lincoln. He is an avid film lover, and an insatiable reader. James is the co-creator of The Simpsons Theory YouTube channel and driving force of the channel, ensuring Lydia is awake, content is written and that every moment Moleman has bitten the dust is counted! The Simpsons Theory was built with the aim to create a virtual love-letter to the show that provided a slice of escapism during Lydia and James' childhoods (every night at 6pm) as well as integrating itself into their adult lives. Lydia Poulteney holds a Bachelor of Arts in Film Theory and Practice from the University of Kent. As a former British Airways Air Hostess, Lydia has traveled the world, exploring new countries as well as well as meeting people of all backgrounds, from the royal family to Elvis impersonators in Las Vegas... but unfortunately no one as eclectic as the Simpsonians of Springfield, as it seems the planes just couldn't decide whether or not to land in Springfield Massachusetts or Springfield Illinois! Along with her fiancé James Hicks, they created the YouTube channel The Simpsons Theory in 2020, which concentrates on the mysteries of the show that furthers its geographical location. Caroline Walker Evans was born in Iuka, Mississippi. She received a Bachelor's degree in Art with a specialization in photography at Mississippi State University. While in school she worked with Aspen Bay Candles as their product photographer and shot occasional promotional photos for the company while also building up her portfolio. Inspired by the world around her, Caroline's work tends to focus on the culture, landscape and people of the area she happens to be in. She is heavily influenced by her southern roots and hopes to return there to continue photographing the ever changing landscape and ever broadening political views of the home she loves.
