Overcoming a speech impediment as a kid, Brooke Allen wanted to be an actress and managed both on stage and in forensics and even worked with Don Knotts, Florence Henderson, Gavin McCleod and Steve Landesberg as she interned at the esteemed Cherry County Playhouse in Traverse City after graduation. After being slightly traumatized she decided to "pivot" long before it was cool-and while stuck on t

he 405 in So Cal fashion heard an ad for the Academy of Radio and Television. It was then she decided NOT to get plastic surgery and go into broadcasting. Her "face for radio" worked for her. She got her first news job in Yuba City California and eventually became the morning cohost of the morning show in Nevada City California. She eventually made her way back to Southern California and became a traffic reporter in LA-covering stations like KISS FM, ESPN AND KFI. Ryan Seacrest, Dan Patrick and Jillian Michaels were the celebrities that sometimes asked her how the drive was from the studio and in the chopper. In 2008, Brooke packed her BMW and headed back to Detroit due to a family illness. Detroit traffic was boring compared to LA traffic so she took a break (got married had twins) until the news bug bit her again and she began anchoring part time at WWJ. She was lured away to host Morning Edition at WKAR and lived NPR just as the Larry Nassar scandal was breaking and after adding a few AP Awards, best documentary and best feature story- headed back to Detroit to co-anchor afternoon Drive on Newsradio 950-where she stayed for five years. During her tenure she collected two MAB's and was also nominated 3-years running for Best Radio Reporter for Hour Detroit. Brooke was a main anchor for 5-years until she realized a pivot was once again necessary. Thus, the live streamed show, "Caffeinated Conversations with Brooke Allen" was born. CCwBA "is the culmination of years of meeting people where they are-whether its a moment of searching for answers, needing help, finding joy or swallowed up by grief. Anything can be turned into a soundbite, but this show is meant for deeper discussions and topics not always openly talked about..." The shows reach is over one-hundred-thousand.
