'''''Tom Rhodes Radio''''' (also referred to as '''''TRR''''') is a once or twice-monthly interview [[podcast]] hosted by [[stand up comedian]] [[Tom Rhodes]]. The show launched in March 2011 is an extension of the various travel projects he does while on the road.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tom-rhodes-radio/id426881872 | title=Tom Rhodes Radio iTunes page and description}}</ref> |
|||
==Background== |
|||
The podcast began production in 2009 under Rhodes self-titled production company. Unlike other podcasts, Rhodes has years of experience as a host: as the first spokesman for Comedy Central in the 90s, a late night talk show host for [[Kevin Masters Show starring Tom Rhodes]] in [[Amsterdam]] in the early 2000s, a travel host for Yorin Travel, later [[RTL Travel]], and in self-produced travel DVDs Rhode Scholar, which as filmed worldwide at comedy venues and tourist sites,) and [[Built for Joy]]. These DVDs feature clips of his performances as well as interviews with interesting locals.<ref>{{cite web | url= http://www.tomrhodes.net/?page_id=6 | title=Bio on Tom Rhodes Productions}}</ref> |
|||
Rhodes, a travel blogger for ''[[The Huffington Post]]'', has gone on record saying he would like to star in a comedy travel television show where he can document his personal travels and highlight comedy scenes around the world. Tom produced pilot episodes himself in 2010, filming in Montana and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.crackerscomedy.com/crackers-downtown/tom-rhodes/ | title=Crackers Comedy Club review of Rhodes}}</ref> Since 2009, Rhodes' projects have all incorporated his love of traveling and filming in exotic locales, including a "Honeymoon World Tour" after he married Dutch photographer Ashna Rodjan in 2011. He and his wife filmed during this time, and documented his travels on his blog.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0722539/bio | title=Rhodes' imdb}}</ref> |
|||
Like fellow comic [[Louis C.K.]], Rhodes does self-production of his podcast and his projects. He presents them on his YouTube page. His messages are often political, but are overall amiable. The tagline for the show is "promoting love and laughter in the universe," which is fitting for Rhodes' hippie-style and San Francisco roots. His podcast and travel DVDs can easily be seen as labors of love due to the lack of monetary gain for himself and his own money spent on production.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://punchlinemagazine.tumblr.com/post/322121920/the-10-best-stand-up-comedy-dvds-of-2009 | title=The best stand-up DVDs of 2009}}</ref> |
|||
==Reception== |
|||
Most episodes have featured interviews with comics Tom knew in his early stand-up years, such as [[Doug Stanhope]] and [[Brian Regan (comedian)|Brian Regan]]. Stanhope is known for his comedic cynicism and called Tom a "very positive person" on the first episode of the show.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://trr.libsyn.com/webpage/episode-1 | title=Doug Stanhope on Tom Rhodes Radio}}</ref> [[Janeane Garofalo]], also a cynical comic, was quoted in a documentary about Tom's career as saying that Rhodes' laid-back persona would normally "rub her the wrong way," but since Rhodes is upbeat both on and off stage, she enjoys him.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN7oNv5X3iE | title=Tom Rhodes: There and Back Again Part 1 of 3}}</ref> |
|||
Matador Network, a travel culture website, listed TRR as one of the top podcasts of 2011 due to its humor and diverse guests.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://matadornetwork.com/life/20-podcasts-check/ | title=21 Podcasts to check out (2011)}}</ref> Matador's only complaint was the sporadic release of the show, but cited the eclectic guests—comics, his uncle, promoters, and musicians like Tom Rhodes, an indie musician with the same name in North Carolina—as a strong draw. A special episode featured an interview with Tom's sister Laura shortly before she passed from breast cancer. |
