In 1994, Tony had an idea for a sci-fi radio talk show, dreaming of national syndication. He found a small station in New Jersey and a sympathetic co-host who helped get to the General Manager. The first shows were a bunch of guys (too many) talking about genre and pop culture but Tony wanted much more.

After a few years, he decided to buy air time on a New York station in 1996 and, with Ernest Lilley, launched the show on a 50,000-watt radio station, with guests like George R.R. Martin and Joss Whedon.

In 2005, on Lilley’s recommendation, Tony signed on with podcast host pioneer Libsyn and the show was reborn as a podcast. Over 1,000,000 downloads later the show had found an international audience, with guests that include composers, writers, and other key contributors to genre entertainment. After podcasting a few years Tony created Time Capsule, a magazine interview-driven podcast series.

Tony has also attended and covered The Tribeca Film Festival, San Diego Comic-Con, and New York Comic-Con.
