The Trap Set is a weekly podcast and terrestrial radio show about the lives of drummers. Although the craft of drumming is discussed, it is a springboard for larger discussions about life. The show features a diverse roster of guests across genres, generations, and backgrounds. Because of the emphasis on human-interest stories, music fans and non-music-fans alike enjoy the show.[1]

The Trap Set host, Joe Wong, is a Los Angeles based composer and drummer. He has played with artists such as Marnie Stern, Parts & Labor, and Mary Timony. He has also scored projects such as the Sundance-award-winning film The Pool and Adult Swim's Superjail!. Along with his composing partner, Didier Leplae, he is currently scoring Aziz Ansari's television series, Master of None.[2]

The Trap Set co-producer, Chris Karwowski is a writer/producer who has worked at The Onion, AdultSwim.com and WordGirl. He ran The Onion Radio News for five years and created, produced, and edited podcasts for The AV Club, Thing X.com and AdultSwim.com.[3]
