On paper, Brian Staker isn’t exactly who you’d expect to host the usually multi-hour, sometimes drunken podcast that is The Awkward Hour. Staker holds a BA in English and an MFA in Creative Writing, from the University of Utah. He has also served time as a SLUG Associate Editor, is a current writer for City Weekly and hosts a weekly music feature on KRCL. It seems like he has spent his entire life preparing for The Awkward Hour.
