TODD VAN ALLEN’S PODCAST JOURNEY
Welcome to the world of laughter with Todd Van Allen, your host for the "Okay, So Here's One" Podcast Series. Every week, he invites a new guest to share their favorite street joke. With his unique charm and humor, Todd makes every episode fun and engaging. Whether you need a good laugh or want to hear some quirky jokes from around the streets - this is your go-to podcast! | ![]() |
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your background? I am a Canadian comedian who has been podcasting in some form or other since 2007. From the 201 episodes of the "The TVA Podcast" which featured my morning show radio clips, to online conversations with comedians, to 23 seasons of "Comedy Above the Pub" which featured conversations with comedians, chefs, musicians, and actors, I've been talking to people, hearing stories, and telling jokes. | What inspired you to start a podcast? My producer Darcy said to me one day, "You should do a podcast." This was in 2007. So, I asked "What's a podcast?" He told me. I then asked him "Do I need to do anything?" He said, "No, we can use your radio show clips and make that the podcast." I said, "Great." We've been podcasting ever since. |
How did you come up with the name of your podcast? From the green rooms of comedy clubs when comedians will riff on street jokes as soon as someone starts the whole thing. | What is the main focus or theme of your show? We have a conversation with our guest, learn about what they're working on, and then, they tell us their favourite street joke. We also take jokes from the listeners and read them on air. ![]() |
Have there been any particularly memorable moments during the recording that stick out to you? Blaine Capatch, a fantastic writer and comedian, has been on both "Comedy Above the Pub" and "Okay, So Here's One!". His love of street jokes is unequalled.
| Who has been one of your favorite guests so far, and why? Blaine Capatch. His episodes are just phenomenal. What's next for your show – any exciting plans we should know about? You'll seeeeeeeeeeeeeee! |
A special thanks to TODD for sharing his insightful podcast journey thus far and we wish him all the best with his continued podcast growth.
