Robb Laffoon
Robb Laffoon (he/him) is an entertainer and the co-host and co-creator of the Emo Kids Anonymous podcast. Born in Maui and raised primarily in sunny Southern California and northern Alberta Canada, Robb found his way to alternative culture via blink-182 and later punk-o-rama compilations. After a decade as an unsuccessful musician, he eventually found his way to his true calling of lip syncing to pop punk and emo songs and rambling about bands both up and coming and classic. Currently based just outside of Los Angeles, Robb is now a grown man with two kids who still listens to emo music. Just donāt call him an āelder emoā.
CZB
CZBāaka Catherine/Cath/Cat (but never Cathy)āis the resident yāallternative of NAPNET, serving as Co-Editor-in-Chief & Content Officer. She is also behind-the-scenes showrunner and Executive Producer of the Emo Kids Anonymous podcast. Though her emo roots run deep, her diverse music taste and love of shows has taken her on many cross-country journeys: from cruising with Lamb of God in the Caribbean, to enjoying organic corndogs with outlaw country legends at Farm Aid, to lamenting lack of decent arch support with fellow elder emos in Las Vegas at When We Were Young (emphasis on the Were). In between travels, youāll find her holding down the fort in Charm City at local shows and sharing medium cringe content, ft. occasional cameos from her husky, Pepper.
