About the Author

Warren Evans (Bart of Darkness) is the creator and owner of one of the most prolific Simpsons fan & collector pages around. He fosters an extensive online community, details about his massive collection of rare memorabilia, and highlights some of the best moments and episodes The Simpsons have to offer. He also has a podcast called β€œSimpsons is Greater Than,” where he expands on the cultural impact of The Simpsons. James Hicks holds a BA (Hons) in Media Production from the University of Lincoln. You will normally find James hidden amongst the dusty bookshelves of second-hand stores clutching a tower of hardback horror novels. He lives in Kent, England with his wife, Lydia Hicks. Together they create video essays and documentaries on pop-culture, on their YouTube Channel, The Simpsons Theory. He also wrote the book The Simpsons Secret: A Cromulent Guide to How The Simpsons Predicted Everything. Lydia Hicks holds a BA (Hons) in Film Theory and Practice from the University of Kent. As a former Flight Attendant, Lydia has traveled the world and has met some pretty crazy characters, from the royal family to Elvis impersonators in Las Vegas; but unfortunately no one as eclectic as the characters she writes about, The Simpsons - it seems the planes just couldn't decide whether or not to land in Springfield Massachusetts or Springfield Illinois! She lives in Kent, England with her husband James Hicks. Together, they create video essays and documentaries on pop-culture, most prominently on their YouTube Channel, The Simpsons Theory. She also wrote the book The Simpsons Secret: A Cromulent Guide to How The Simpsons Predicted Everything.
