Hey, all.

Firstly, we ended the podcast. After 201 episodes, it’s time to let this evolve to the next stage. After letting this thing run ahead of us, we’ve decided to take the initiative and change things ourselves. We hope that it will be for the better, and we hope that you’ll join us.

The new podcast will be “Comedy Above the Pub” and we will be doing a similar style of show focusing as always on comedy, but bringing in other guests that may not be comedians themselves, but are in fact funny. You’ve been with us through many laughs and we hope that you join us in this new endeavour.

We look forward to bringing you a weekly show once again and we hope that you’ll let us know what you think and become part of the conversation. We can’t wait to talk to you once again.

Thanks for listening!

Folks, this is it. This is the last episode of the TVA Podcast. After this, we’ll be embarking on a new endeavour. There will be a transition episode that comes out after this official release to walk you through it. But yeah, this is it for the podcast. We can’t thank you enough for your support and listenership and hope you join us further on our next step in the journey.

Our last show couldn’t have a better guest in my opinion, funnyman and show man MIKE DAMBRA.

Join tva, Mike, Darcy, and Ian as the following things happen:

- Getting mugged on the subways
- Mike discusses his years in show business
- Touring out west and the beauty of the land
- We go through Mike’s purchases at Sonic Boom
- Ian becomes this podcast’s ‘Pickle‘
