Meet Your Host:
Jonithan Patrick Russell
Jonithan Patrick Russell (or simply "Jon" to his friends) was born in the Mountain State, otherwise known as West Virginia. Growing up, Jon had a couple of teachers who encouraged him to read and write creatively, which ultimately lead to his love of, and desire to be a writer of fiction (particularly science fiction and fantasy).
Influenced by the works of JRR Tolkien and Douglas Adams, and inspired by such classic television and film series as Doctor Who and Star Wars respectively, Jon and a small group of childhood friends grew up making audio recordings, and later home movies featuring original characters and stories of their own.
Having been educated via the Long Ridge Writer's Group and the NRI School of Photography, Jon had a passion for film making and radio production. Thus were his ambitions. However, family commitments kept Jon from moving away from his home state in pursuit of his lofty dreams, where he continued to dabble in the creative arts at home in his free time, eventually forming his own audio production group known as Dream Realm Enterprises in the year 2003.
Since then, Dream Realm Enterprises (or simply "Dream Realm" or "DRE" for short) have produced some of the best audio dramas and comedies on the web, being nominated for several awards along the way, and winning two AVA Awards in 2013 for two separate episodes of the anthology series Showcase, and then recently in 2018 having won the Parsec Award for Best Speculative Fiction Comedy/Parody Podcast for Robotz of the Company!
DRE utilizes voice talent from around the globe, and a talented (if small) regular group of actors, editors, and writers. Their greatest success possibly being their Parsec Award Winning (as mentioned above) flagship sci-fi/comedy series Robotz of the Company created by Jon, but greatly developed by a collaboration between Jon and his troupe of actors, and a very talented writer known as Vince Stadon.
Jon continues to develop new shows, tell stories, and create interesting and compelling characters in his continued efforts with Dream Realm Enterprises, and hopes to continue doing so for many years to come.
