ABOUT

Brian Stever is a podcast producer, product builder, and co-creator of Sickboy, the award-winning podcast that has spent more than a decade breaking down stigma around illness, health, and death through honest conversation and humour.

As co-founder of Snack Labs, Brian has helped build and produce story-driven podcasts for organizations and creators, combining creative storytelling with a deep understanding of the systems and technology behind great production.

That intersection of creativity and technology has also led Brian into product development, building tools designed to take the repetitive work out of podcast production and give creators more time to focus on the work that matters.

Alongside Sickboy co-creators Jeremie Saunders and Taylor MacGillivary, Brian was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for their work fostering more open conversations around illness and death.
