Our beginnings —
TOTs began in a small, DC apartment closet... Yes a closet.
Finding a good place to record was hard because the equipment I had just consisted of a $25 microphone (pictured below left) and my phone. Because the microphone couldn't be adjust or cancel out any background noise, the closet was the best place to record. So, with the support of my roommate (Daniel, pictured left eating a pizza), I began to record episodes from our shared closet, even having a guest or two cram in there with me just to make sure we could get good sound quality. A few months later, my best friend Chris (pictured below right) joined the show as my business partner and Technical Producer and took the show to another level. We invested our money into the right equipment, software, and tools to make sure that they show would be as high quality as possible. And here we are today, with hundreds of listeners and a growing fan base, it's safe to say that TOTs will be around for a while!
