Eric O'KeeFfe (aka Mr. Eric)

co-creator / host / editor

Eric is an experienced teacher and voice actor. He has worked with kids since he started teaching karate at age fourteen. He directed a gymnastics school in Brooklyn, a children’s theatre in Manhattan, and a county-wide theatre program in Los Angeles. 

Now he scrambles to get all his What If World work and audiobook recordings done each day before picking up his two kids from school.

KAREN MARSHALL O'Keeffe

When not at her day job at a software company in Los Angeles, Karen might be found taking care of her kids, making pies, walking her dog, playing board games, or listening to podcasts nonstop.

Transcripts by Keffy Kehrli. Keffy spends most of his time trying to tell computers what to do! When he's not doing that or typing up Mr. Eric's stories, he's telling his dogs not to eat sticks, trying to learn Spanish, and catching too many Pokémon.
