Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe started But Why Tho? in 2018 and since then we’ve been able to grow to a dedicated crew of staff and writers. Our Managing Editors work to coordinate monthly coverage by working with PR and our writing team to make sure we cover the latest while also covering what’s important to us. Our Editors work hard to make sure that every piece published meets our site’s standards. And our Contributing Writers keep all of this going with their reviews, features, and interviews across the entertainment world. From covering festivals and conventions to attending junkets and reviewing content, we do it all.
Check out staff and writers below, their portfolios, socials, and make sure to give them support. If you would like to join our team in any capacity, please feel free to reach out to Kate Sanchez at kate@butwhythopodcast.com.
