Theo Mondle is an engineer who worked on many of Joe's shows recording, editing, and mixing - sometimes all three - while employed at KCRW from 1988 to 1996. He appears in In The Dark (Part 2) as the engineer upon whom Joe spits, then goes out for a beer with. He matches the description of the engineer, 'former, slightly-built, KCRW recording engineer from Pakistan'[1] to whom Joe lends $1,000 in Insomnia, and he likely portrays a hapless radio engineer in Joe Frank Live - Women Police Officers.

Quoth his LinkedIn page: 'After having worked in the Broadcast industry for 42 years, I retired on March 30, 2020. I am a composer, producer, recording engineer, have a home / mobile studio, own and have all the audio tools from iZotope and play Indian percussion instruments. Have written music for Spongebob Squarepants, The Unit and some TV ads. Currently I spend my retired time at my home studio experimenting with the Kontakt sound banks with latest being the Stadivary Violin and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.'
