The Complete Guide to Everything

The Complete Guide to Everything, sometimes abbreviated to "TCGTE", is a weekly podcast hosted by Tom Reynolds and Tim Daniels of Brooklyn, New York. It is typically 60–90 minutes long and released weekly on Sundays. Most episodes cover one overarching topic, which serves as a jumping off point for off-topic conversations about cultural observations. This is often preceded or followed by recurring segments, such as "Tim and Tom Solve Your Problems".
History.
The first episode of "The Complete Guide to Everything" was released on July 2, 2009.
In the "International Travel" episode, the hosts discussed the theft of Daniels' property, a bag containing an iPad, MacBook, and speakers. While some speculation was made during the episode about the possible culprit, no arrests were made.
On an ad-hoc basis some "official artwork" based on the content of an episode is produced by Natalie Al-Tahhan and this is displayed on the website along the show notes.
An official iPhone application giving access to every episode, the TCGTE blog, the host's blogs, the host's Twitter accounts and a messaging facility is available on the Apple App Store.
The first gathering of "TCGTE" fans took place at Porterhouse Brewery in Covent Garden, London in October 2010. The official "TCGTE" website refers to the gathering as "the first international meet up" of "TCGTE" fans.
In 2014 it was featured in an article in The Independent, which described it as "banal... and brilliant!"
Other podcasts.
"24cast".
Prior to "TCGTE", Reynolds and Daniels hosted "24cast", which began in January 2006 and lasted 23 episodes. The podcast was primarily about the Fox television show "24", but frequently covered many other topics and issues. Episodes were released in a somewhat sporadic manner. The show also gathered a reputation within the 24 podcast community, where it frequently billed itself as the "only explicit podcast about "24"."
"The Drudge Report Report Report".
Following up "24cast", the two created "The Drudge Report Report Report". The four-episode series consists of hosts Reynolds, Daniels, and Chris reading articles from Drudge Report and making humorous comments about them.
"Pop Everything".
In "The Complete Guide to Everything" episode "Electronic Dance Music", Reynolds and Daniels announced they would be producing a new podcast that would focus more on popular culture topics like movies, books, comics, and TV. On October 17, 2013, the first episode of "Pop Everything" was released on iTunes and Soundcloud.
