Tom Rhodes Radio (also referred to as TRR) is a once or twice-montly interview podcast hosted by stand up comedian Tom Rhodes. The show launched in March 2011 is an extension of the various film and radio travel projects he does while on the road.[1]

Background

The podcast began production in 2009 under Rhodes self-titled production company. Unlike other podcasts, Rhodes has years of experience as a host interviewing celebrities for Comedy Central as their first spokesman in the 90s, as a Dutch talk show host for Kevin Masters Show starring Tom Rhodes in the early 2000s, as a travel host for Yorin Travel, later RTL Travel, and in his self-produced travel DVDs Rhode Scholar (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.[2]

Rhodes, a travel blogger for The Huffington Post, 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. Clips are available on his website.[3] Since 2009, Rhodes' projects have all incorporated his love of traveling and filming in exotic locals, 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.[4]

Like fellow comic Louis C.K., Rhodes does self-production of his projects and presents them on his YouTube page. His messages are often political, but mostly are peaceful. The tagline for the show is "promoting love and laughter in the universe," fitting for the hippie-style San Francisco native.
