TMT 001: Von Decarlo
Episode description
Von Decarlo is a singer, actress, TV personality, author, mother. Von and I are both from Clairton, PA, a small town outside of Pittsburgh. We were also in the high school band together. I was the drum major and she played clarinet.
Von is one of the Relationship Experts and Comedians on Centric TV’s new relationship series According To Him + Her as well as in her very own Centric spin-off digital Instagram series, Coach Von’s Playbook. You can also find her performing live at various New York City comedy and improv clubs with her Musical Improv group Good Catch Comedy. She's currently working on her one woman show Lasagna and will release her first book Speak Fluent Man – The Top Things Women Should Consider Before Blaming the Man in 2015.
Von was engaged to comedian Patrice O'Neal and was planning to marry him a month before his untimely death in 2011. In the podcast introduction, I reference that they were married based on our discussion.

TALK MUSIC TALK PLAYLIST:
Two tracks from Von's self-realized blend of soul and electronica make the most perfect bookends. In between you'll find a bevy of complementary music, to quote Outkast, that's cooler than Freddie Jackson sipping a milkshake. New music from Mapei and Azealiza Banks sit comfortably next to some truly trippy sounds from the one and only Barbra Streisand---you have to hear it to believe it. Enjoy!
