Today your hosts Julius and Sage speak with Tito Pittard.
Tito is a drummer, seeker, and longtime member of the Atlanta-based band Microwave. Since the early days of the band’s formation, Tito’s been holding the heartbeat—both musically and spiritually—as the group has evolved from gritty emo roots into something more expansive, more self-aware. His journey has taken him far beyond the kit, including psychedelic exploration, international travel, and deep inner work that’s shaped his life both on and off stage. With an ear for nuance and a mind tuned to growth, Tito brings intention to everything—from how he plays to how he lives. When he’s not behind the drums with Microwave, he explores sound and self through his solo project, Smaio.

These days, Baylee is reconnecting with her creative side through hair, crochet, and gardening, while raising her family with a holistic mindset and a deep respect for balance. She calls herself a “scrunchy mom,” someone who embraces the middle path—where peace is found not in perfection, but in presence.
