Voice of Mikey Ross
Andrew Hains (they/them) is a Seattle-based musician, artist, and writer with a love for surrealist art and ambient music. This is their first foray into the world of podcasting. Outside of The Glass Darkly, they're a violin-repair luthier, and they run the folk band Larkwing.

Jun Sullivan (he/they) is from Seattle. He's a first-time actor and a long-time artist and writer. You may find him pining for the majestic firs of Twin Peaks, or writing surrealist fiction. He also loves Deltarune, The Truman Show, I Saw The TV Glow, and Fire Walk With Me.
Voice of Fasika Dawit
Kep Harper (she/they) has been an actor their whole life. Born in Maryland and raised in Seattle, this is her debut voice acting role. Like Fasika, they enjoy bees and gardens, but they aren’t brave enough to keep their own. Find her perusing Ethiopian cafes and winning at chess.
Voice of Elijah Novak
Bee Federkiewicz (they/them) is a Seattle-based artist and creative, and a first-time actor. Find them running their small business Beetle's Bazaar, or talking about how their Michigan hometown has better thunderstorms.

Voice of The Correspondant
Jonah Ruiz Lopez (he/they) is a Philippines-based voice actor, artist, and streamer. This is their directorial debut. He has acted in the web shows Arceus' Wish and History Repeats. When they aren't in front of a mic, you'll find them behind the convention booth selling their artworks as EbonyTails.
Andrew Hains is a composer and multi-instrumentalist, classically trained and inspired by ambient music and modern electronic soundtracks. The Glass Darkly's soundtrack is made of live acoustic instruments, mostly viola and cello. The majority of the soundtrack is performed and improvised directly into the episode file, and produced with distortion effects. There are more significant tracks that stand on their own, though, and they'll surface here as each episode uncovers them.

About the show
The Glass Darkly is a mystery horror podcast about Jason Kaida, whose life is disrupted by a cursed mirror that keeps reappearing in his apartment. His obsession with investigating it will lead him deep into a web of possession, doppelgangers, secret societies, and the fracturing of reality itself.The show features an all-queer cast and crew, and an original live ambient score. It’s set in Seattle and the surrounding area, right where the creator and several cast members grew up. The Glass Darkly is grounded in our world, but frequently ventures out of the familiar and into the surreal. It grapples with themes of humanity, connection, queerness, religion, and what it means to become unrecognizable to oneself.Made by Sunbroken Productions, the show is written, directed, produced, and scored by Andrew Hains (they/them) and co-directed by Jonah Ruiz Lopez (he/they). Andrew Hains is the creative mind behind Sunbroken Productions. Usually a composer, writer, and artist, this is their first audio drama production. Hains is inspired by the places in our world where the veil is thinnest and things aren’t quite what they should be, and they use distorted pieces of live viola and cello to bring The Glass Darkly vividly to life.
