In this part 2 of our conversation (two months later!), Nicho shares some of his headaches and hassles in SURMP's earliest days - from finding equipment and podcast hosting to developing content and promoting.  At time of recording, Nicho was still feeling the "itch" to try standup again.  Like, subscribe, and share!
