  • The Rod Pedersen Show-Trent Bruner’s Review

    Rod makes Canada seem close to home with his coffee talk style presentation and his feel for what makes Canadian sports relevant to any listener. It doesn’t feel like I’m an ocean away when I hear the show. I do miss home, but Rod brings me back there every day with this show. Thanks so much for doing this!
