Hey, Smart Campers!

It's your pals, Tom Rhodes and Ashna Rodjan, back at it with an episode! We talk highways and byways of life (and California driving tests), chilling with music legends in spirit, uncovering the rich tapestry of Sammy Davis Jr.'s legacy, movies you should watch, and all while our feathered friends, the hummingbirds, hover nearby sharing their wisdom. 

Join us as we blend laughter with learning, sharing stories that tickle the funny bone and warm the heart in true Rhodes and Rodjan style!

Hooray for humanity!

Tom

I have been a comedian for more than 40 years. I travel the world, performing comedy. Exploring diverse cultures and connecting with people from all walks of life while doing comedy is at the heart of my journey. I've had my share of experiences, from almost drowning in Thailand to getting maced in Paris, and I had my own sitcom on Comedy Central and a Late Night Talkshow in the Netherlands. Whenever I can, I'll share my adventures and a global perspective with you on this podcast.

 

Ashna

Ashna, Dutch artist, photographer, and my ex-wife, isn't just my best friend; she's an essential part of the Rhodesies production team. We've traveled the world together for 8 years. With her background in cognitive psychology and her passion for philosophy and all things art, Ashna enriches our conversations, all while bringing a unique European perspective.
