The Toth Zone chronicles musician James Toth’s all-consuming obsession with music while growing up in pre-9/11 New York City, and all the trouble it caused him along the way. It's a little like A Christmas Story, but with headbangers, hoodlums, and hip-hop.

(PS: I apologize if I sounded condescending when I defined the word “biweekly” at the end of the episode. The truth is I can never remember if biweekly means occurring once every two weeks or occurring twice a week. I looked it up and it seems both are correct, which is very confusing. Hence the explanation.)
