More About the McElroys

Clint McElroy has fooled numerous bosses into providing him with a 45-year career in Broadcasting. He has fathered three children (Justin, Travis and Griffin), and co-hosts The Adventure Zone with his sons, which has been adapted into a New York Times Bestselling graphic novel series six times over, and has written comics for Marvel such as Journey Into Mystery and Marvel Team-Up – so retired life has been going pretty well so far. Most recently, he wrote the children's book, Goldie's Guide to Grandchilding.

Justin McElroy has been a creator of podcasts, television shows, YouTube videos and graphic novels since 2010. His most popular works include My Brother, My Brother and Me (co-hosted with his real life brothers Travis & Griffin McElroy) which is both an award-nominated advice show podcast referenced in Lin-Manuel Miranda's, Hamilton, (yes, really!) and a live action television show on the Seeso (NBCUniversal); and The Adventure Zone. He also co-hosts Sawbones, a comedic medical podcast, with his wife, Dr. Sydnee McElroy - which has, you guessed it, been adapted into a yet another New York Times bestselling book. He is also known for his roles in Trolls: World Tour (DreamWorks, 2020) and The Fungies, (HBO, 2022).

Travis McElroy is a podcaster, actor and a four-time New York Times #1 bestselling author known for The Adventure Zone and My Brother, My Brother and Me. Travis graduated from OU with a BFA in Acting, and then proceeded to have no idea what he was going to do with his life. At the age of 25, he began his podcast, My Brother, My Brother and Me with his real-life brothers, Justin and Griffin; began working as an actor/technical director at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company; and met his wife. He worked at Cincy Shakes with notable roles like Laertes, Juliet’s Nurse, and Lucius Andronicus, and won an award for set design. Then Travis became a full-time podcaster with shows including Trends Like These, Shmanners, Chasing Immortality and, most notably, The Adventure Zone. His podcasting book, Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You), co-authored with Justin and Griffin McElroy, released January 2021 from Harper Collins. The pop culture notoriety of the McElroy brothers earned them roles in Trolls: World Tour movie alongside Justin Timberlake, Anna Kendrick, and Jamie Dornan.
