  • Must watch/must listen

I live on Long Island with two 24/7 sports radio stations and they’re honestly an afterthought most times. Rod talks about the topics I want to know about, topics you just don’t hear about on other shows. Rod, Dupes, Producer Clark & the entire staff are more like a family than colleagues and it comes through while listening. Plus on Friday’s we’re treated to the legendary John “Fr... more

  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Football Friday: Arland Bruce III + Charlie Parks LIVE | RP Show | April 17, 2026
Q: How would you describe your mindset heading into the CFL Draft?
Parks explains he aims to show coaches his work ethic, versatility, and willingness to contribute, hoping teams draft him where he's wanted and where he can prove himself.
Janice Taylor (As Seen On Oprah!) Joins + NHL Playoffs & NFL Draft Week | RP Show Ep. 1722
Q: What is the useful role of AI in sports, and why is a small language model preferable?
AI is best for pattern recognition across vast data sets, identifying outcomes and relationships humans would miss; small, sport-specific language models are preferable because they are tailored to concrete use cases, reducing noise and increasing actionable insights for performance and wellness.
Janice Taylor (As Seen On Oprah!) Joins + NHL Playoffs & NFL Draft Week | RP Show Ep. 1722
Q: Would you explain emotional fitness to a layperson?
Emotional fitness is an organ-like system in the body that processes signals before we think, acting as the root of decision-making and performance; by optimizing this system, athletes can better handle pressure and teamwork dynamics, which in turn enhances on-field performance.
NFL Draft Week + NHL Playoffs Heat Up | Doug MacLean Joins | RP Show Live | April 20, 2026
Q: What stood out most from the NHL playoffs this weekend?
Montreal's upset win and the overall intensity of the early playoff games, plus a notable shift in coaching dynamics and player performances that could reshape the series outcomes.
Mark Hebscher Joins! | RP Show EP. 1707
Q: What did you think about the timing of the coaching change with eight games left?
It's a high-stakes, late-season decision meant to energize the roster and salvage a playoff push, reflecting a GM's willingness to take bold action when results aren't meeting expectations.
