Joe Mignano


​Among the many hats that he wears, Joe "Lord Bruticus" Mignano has been a voice over artist and a familiar voice on multiple fan-produced podcasts in past years. 

An avid fan of STAR WARS since he first saw it on-screen at the age of four in 1977, "The Brutal One," as he has become known, is also an accomplished storyteller.  His narrations of STAR WARS fan-fiction stories garnered a following of STAR WARS fans over the years to his old podcast, Dark Empire Radio, which evolved into HoloNet Audio Dramas (HNAD).  Joe's STAR TREK and STAR WARS fan audio work have since merged with HNAD to become HoloNet Audio.

Henry Hammond



Henry Hammond is a Milwaukee area actor, singer and Star Wars enthusiast. As a trained opera singer he normally appears on stage, but has recently begun branching into voice acting and is thrilled to be collaborating with HoloNet Audio Dramas, thus satisfying his love for acting, doing voices, and Star Wars all at once.

Megan Niessink
​

Megan Niessink was raised on Star Wars and Star Trek, and when she found out that “Jedi” wasn't a real thing you could grow up to be, she figured that “actor” was as close as she would get. Graduating from USC (because that's where George Lucas went!) with one of her majors in Theater, Megan has dabbled in everything from stage to film to voice acting. In her free time, she volunteers with the Rebel Legion in her X-wing pilot costume at charity events. HoloNet Audio has been a perfect outlet for her combined love of fan fiction, radio dramas, sci-fi, and voice acting.

About HoloNet Audio
​

HoloNet Audio is a collection of quality audio fanfiction from Star Wars and Star Trek. And funny comedy sketches.  All content is family-friendly, so there is bound to be something on our website for any Swarsie or Trekkie.

HoloNet Audio was first branded as HoloNet Audio Dramas in 2013, itself an offshoot of the old Dark Empire Radio podcast. With the creation of The Engineering Chronicles in 2021, all of Joe's STAR WARS and STAR TREK fan audio work was condensed and rebranded into a single podcast, HoloNet Audio.  You can find all of our content in one single podcast feed on YouTube or your favorite podcast provider (as Holonet Audio), with the exception of Dark Empire Radio content, which remains exclusive to this website.  Also, you can find separate playlists of our fanfiction and other fun content right here on the HoloNet Audio website, as well as on SoundCloud and YouTube.

Set to music with occasional sound effects, the stories on this site are sure to entertain any STAR WARS or STAR TREK fan. Although there have been occasional guest writers and voice talent, as well as guest narrators (see above), all works of fanfiction on this site are audio-produced by Joe Mignano.
