About Your Hosts

Colleen McLuckie (she/her) is a full-time healthcare data manager, part-time vet tech, and ever-proud childless cat-lady 24/7. In her spare time, she likes knitting, cooking, watching stand-up comedy and pro sports, and fighting the patriarchy. She has previously performed at Story Lab Chicago and the now-defunct About Women and Sunday Morning Stories. Upcoming projects include arguing about the NBA on Twitter (X?) and conquering sourdough.

Originally from Philadelphia, and by way of Colorado and Washington, DC, Natalie Robertson has lived in Chicago for three years, and can usually be found around the neighborhood at the library, the farmer's market, Queen of Angels Catholic Church, or hosting a dinner party. She currently works in grants management in the public sector, and splits her time between spreadsheets and her neverending "to be read" list. She's studied biochemistry, history, and data analytics, but at trivia night she's the team member who can cover geography and anything related to Taylor Swift. Natalie spent many years involved in orchestras and theater and is now pursuing her love of the arts through writing and storytelling.
