The WATLO Taper's Section

Everyday Companion is the go-to resource for all Panic fans and nerds. For 30 years, the site has been the source of all data and information for songs, discography, lyrics, stats, band history, jams, teases, raps, guests, and show locations. Hear from Ted about the beginnings of Everyday Companion, plans for the future, the intricacies of data uploading, and his favorite pages on the site. 

During the Widespread Panic Milwaukee run, the WATLO team got to sit down with The Z-man for a conversation about taping, live music, and the audience experience. He answered a LOT of questions about the taper community, provided details about the shows he tapes each year, and shared the reasons why he continues to tape live music events.
