MICHAEL AUSTIN, founder, producer, emcee

"Pop Culture Warrior"of SecretFormula, Michael has been connecting people with their pop culture roots ever since he started hosting music video Sing-Alongs in his apartment. Soon he was producing events all across NYC and bringing his dream of watching cartoons and eating cereal with other "grown-ups" at Spoons Toons and Booze and creating unique experiences for lovers of pop culture to come together off-line and in person to celebrate their passions together.

NELL CASEY, producer, emcee

Joining in a group of people belting the chorus to some NSYNC song at a Sing-Along and gushing about a divine love for He-Man on the microphone at Spoon Toons & Booze are a few of Nell’s favorite things. When she’s not reliving some piece of pop culture history at a SecretFormula show, she enjoys earnestly trying to indoctrinate friends into her cheese cult. Nell is a graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and the former Food Editor at Gothamist. No, she has not seen that movie. 

JUSSIN MORGAN, emcee

Jussin Morgan (Radio Murdock) is a writer/performer who lives in New York City and was born and raised in the suburbs of Atlanta. He’s been an actor, a writer, a stand-up comedian, an emcee, a DJ and a film curator with over a decade of experience in live event production. How about that? One day he made friends with the family at SecretFormula and wormed his way into their hearts and onto their stages. Please don’t tell them that there is in fact heart worm medication for humans. One day he hopes to actually run away from Godzilla (the real one).
