Casey McKinnon
McKinnon first became known under the pseudonym Ms. Kitka, the host of sex news and entertainment show "Kitkast", launched on October 15, 2005. Inspired by podcasting and British television show "Sin Cities", the show gained mainstream attention from Rolling Stone and The Guardian.

Under the corporation name 8Bit Brownies Inc., the two went on to co-produce a short miniseries for Next New Networks filmed at South by Southwest called "Pulp Secret Confessions" and later launched the comic book and graphic novel review show "A Comicbook Orange" on June 6, 2006, where McKinnon worked as host. In July 2007, McKinnon was hired to host "Pulp Secret Live At Comic-Con", where she made a daily update show live from the San Diego Comic-Con.
