Meet the Panel

Rigorously researched. Painstakingly planned. Carefully curated. These are the qualities of an entirely different podcast than this one. Ivo and Lew host the regulars at a local bar in Lawrence, KS every so often to catch up, share a meal, and solve all the world’s problems. Again, you’re welcome.


The Hosts:

Anime Lew

Lew Walton, esq., is one of the hosts. Lew asks the questions, and he ensures that the panel comports themselves with the appropriate level of decorum for such a serious-minded podcast. Lew creates most of the fart jokes.


Ivo Ivanov is one of the hosts. As a world renowned writer, broadcaster, coach, and philosopher, Ivo’s beautiful, uplifting perspectives ensure that his every fart joke reflects a humanist understanding of the world we live in.

The Regulars:

Fernando Lefort rings a maturity and worldliness to each topic discussed, as well as a pragmatic approach to problems presented in the topics. Fernando is often the subject of the fart jokes.


Meredith Mau provides a no-nonsense perspective to the podcast’s nonsensical topics. Meredith is the voice every podcast needs. Meredith’s fart jokes are never funny.


Chris Magerkurth is an engineer by training, but a poet at birth. Chris applies real-world practicality and compassion to every response he gives, and he is also quite funny. Chris’s fart jokes are distinctly German.


Sofia Lefort is the resident musician on the panel, and her insights reflect a lyrical elegance as well and a keenly refined sense of comedic timing. Unlike her father or brother, Sofia’s fart jokes are always in minor key.


Andre Lefort is a modern-day renaissance-type prodigy: thinker, athlete, and man-about town. Count on Andre to give a well-considered, eloquent fart joke of the highest caliber.


Julian Delgado-Walton is the voice of the next generation. Julian’s superlative perception and overwhelming charisma bring convincing arguments to the panel every week. Julian’s fart jokes exclusively make fun of his father.

Anime Alena

Alena Ivanov makes every podcast she attends better. Like her father, Alena is also a brilliant philosopher and writer, but she also brings professional stand-up experience to the podcast. Alena hates fart jokes.


Laurann Beckerman brings a lightness and warmth to the podcast with her very demure, very mindful commentary. Her special gift to the podcast is her willingness to expose her innermost ideas and thoughts. Due to a series of coincidences and accidents, Laurann has never farted.


Cassidy Graham is like her mother — her contributions to the podcast display her impressive intellectual dexterity, especially when considering topics that typically perplex much older thinkers. Cassidy’s fart jokes employ sound effects.
