TrotCon 2014 Guest Announcements
Straight out of TrotCon's headquarters of Columbus, Ohio, Heather Breckel is part of the team behind some of the most beloved comics series in recent memory. She'll be best known among bronies for her work as the official colorist of the My Little Pony comics from IDW Publishing, a position she also repped at TrotCon 2013. Turtle fans might also know her as the colorist on IDW's current Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, and her past credits include work on Peter Panzerfaust, Godzilla: Half Century War and more.
As host of BlogTalkRadio's Canterlot Radio, Dennis Daniel -- aka Mic Check -- has helped drive his podcast toward the top of the pony podcast heap. Known for his personable fan interaction on Twitter in addition to Canterlot Radio's impressive roster of past guests and interviews, Mic Check will bring his knowledge of podcasting -- his show was recently ranked one of BlogTalkRadio's top 300 shows -- and ponies to his first appearance TrotCon via a number of informative panels. Don't miss Canterlot Radio Wednesdays at 3 p.m. ET!
A relatively new Ohioan, PonyToast will be making his first trek to TrotCon this summer. Like Mic Check, PonyToast is one of the fandom's top podcasters, hosting the long-running True Equestria Radio. But proving his stance as a jack of all trades when it comes to media, he also DJs at Fillydelphia Radio, is the Public Relations Director of Ponyville Radio and channels his inner Casey Kasem on the year-end Top 50 Pony Music Countdown each New Year's Eve. Is there anything the guy doesn't do? Ask him this June in Columbus!
TrotCon 2014 will be held June 20-22 at the Sheraton at Capitol Square
in Columbus, Ohio.
