Danylo Loutchko
Co-Host of Hardcover Hooligans
Danylo is prounounced "duh-NILLO".
Ever since finishing his first Magic Tree House book and binge-reading all the Redwall books as a child, Danylo has always been suspicous of books that are too long and/or don't have talking mice. Though he will admit Crime and Punishment was pretty good.
Danylo also has a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the Unversity of Minnesota, which means he's at the exact right spot in the Dunning-Kruger graph to have this podcast.
He also does theater, comedy, improv, and music, mostly in the Minneapolis area.
Danylo Loutchko has hosted 69 Episodes.
