Kate Koballa

Casual academic / cosplayer / amateur creative

Kate is the freeloading cohost of "Game of Groans", her sister Emily Bateman's "Game of Thrones" watch-through podcast. She studied English and wrote her Master's thesis on "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". She has written conference papers on various nerdy subjects, notably about "Fallout 4", one of the franchises nearest and dearest to her heart. She is a gamer, cosplayer, D&D player, singer, writer, and movie/television fan (none of them professionally). Her favorite game franchises are "Legend of Zelda" and "Fallout", but she also loves Pokemon, mutiplayer Mario shenanigans, and she recently played "Bioshock" 20 years after everyone else.
