meet the team behind ITP
Andrew is a Kelowna based podcaster obsessed with researching all things weird and unexplainable with good craft beer in his hand. After studying International Relations at the University of British Columbia, Andrew realized that his real passion is exploring theories on unexplained phenomenon and writing novels related to such themes, beginning with a long standing interest in Pre-Columbian Transoceanic Contact theories. Ultimately, it was listening to paranormal and mythological podcasts that has inspired both Amber and Andrew to continue with their own research and present these findings of high strangeness to the podcast world.
From an early age Amber was fascinated by the mysterious and inspired by detective characters including Nancy Drew, Velma from Scooby Doo, and Scully from X-Files - to name a few. After obtaining a degree in International Relations at UBCO, Amber quickly realized the need to continue engaging with the weird side of our world so she could keep on living the inspired life. Currently, Amber spends the majority of her time studying Horticulture while exploring Vancouver Island with Andrew and Stella! Needless to say, Amber raises a glass and welcomes all who are ready to dive Into The Portal!
