For our last official shift preview, we have the sleep-deprived and ready to jock jam it out Zeta crew. After the other shift trundle off to bed, Zeta is left to their own devices to entertain the insomniacs and Australians. Whether that be through lego, songs, or ridiculous bits, we keep it going all night long. Here's who you'll be seeing bathed in purple light this year:

Entertainment! The folks who keep the chuckles and goofs coming in the wee hours of the morning

Brendan "Beej" Dery: OG Zeta shift in every way. He's steering the ship... Sorry, bus, and keeping the rest of us on track. Also, he performs rad covers of the Barenaked Ladies. We wouldn't be Zeta without him.

Coriander Dickenson: When not in a banana costume wreaking havok, Cori can be found either on the Zeta couch, or failing at drawing horses. We're glad to have her back for another year!

Paul Saunders: Zeta got their claws into Paul and won't let him go. He brings the shanties, and the truly astounding beard power to our shift.

Broadcast! The folks that make sure you can actually see the chuckles and goofs!

Alania Boomer: Boomer returns to Zeta with a unique brand of chaos and baking prowess that we're thrilled to have back! They also bring yarn art that is almost magically cozy.

Shawn Morford: Another returning to Zeta, Shawn brings professionalism, and excellent visual gags. He also helped create the dance party button with Ian, so we can thank him for getting us uncoordinated nerds to flail around for your amusement!

Comms! The chuckles and goofs were coming from inside the house!

PJ Martin: Our man of social media, PJ handpicks only the ripest gifs and memes to make sure everyone is up to date on everything happening on Zeta. He can often be found figuring out what nonsense "X" is up to now.

Matthews: Hello, it me. I'm that. I'm the blog person for Zeta shift, and currently writing these words. Long form posts are my bread and butter.
