The Complete Guide to Everything
The Complete Guide to Everything, sometimes abbreviated to TCGTE, is a free weekly podcast featuring Tom Reynolds and Tim Daniels of Brooklyn, New York City. It is typically 60–90 minutes long and released every Sunday. The show has been described as "the next , in podcast form." Most episodes cover one overarching topic, which serves as a jumping off point for off-topic conversations about cultural observations. This is often preceded and/or followed by recurring segments, such as "Tim and Tom Solve Your Problems."
24cast began in January 2006 and lasted 23 episodes. It featured Tom and Tim, who later went on to create The Complete Guide to Everything. 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."
It was also featured as one of the Top 100 Most Subscribed to Podcasts of 2006 by iTunes.
This follow up to "24cast" was not well received by most podcast critics; however, many "The Complete Guide to Everything" fans and former 24cast fans enjoyed this short-lived podcast, which has gained a cult following. This four-episode series consists of hosts Tom, Tim, and Chris reading articles printed off Drudgereport.com and making humorous comments about them. This style resembles the eventual "The Complete Guide to Everything" podcast.
In the Complete Guide to Everything episode "Electronic Dance Music" Tim and Tom announced they would be producing a new podcast coming out on Thursdays 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, the episodes are generally 45 to 60 minutes long and tend have more spoilers than an average podcast of The Complete Guide to Everything.
The podcast was featured prominently on the UK iTunes podcast directory in August 2009 and has remained in the Staff Favourites section ever since. This has led to an overwhelmingly British audience for this US-based show, which is frequently referred to and acknowledged in the show itself. The podcast has been consistently in the UK iTunes Top 100 podcasts for the past two years.
The podcast was featured on the homepage of the US iTunes podcast directory in March 2012 which may lead to a more transatlantic following in future months.
In 2010, the podcast was a shortlisted nominee in the 'Entertainment' category at the Podcast Awards.
