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!

Rod Pedersen Show Part 2 | Captain Lou Gamelin Joins! | RP Show Ep. 1751 | June 4, 2026
Q: What are your thoughts going into game two tonight, Vegas at Carolina?
Lou believes Carolina has a strong chance to win a long series, but also praises Vegas' depth and coaching change as a catalyst for their momentum; he notes Carolina's talent and the need for a continued strong effort from Vegas, especially with Bracketed key players.
Rod Pedersen Show Part 2 | John Bender Joins! | RP Show Ep. 1749 | June 2, 2026
Q: What was your take on the Ty Simpson pick and the Rams draft strategy?
John explains that the Rams were likely prioritizing the two open positions (right tackle and defensive line) and chose Ty Simpson as a young, controllable quarterback option because they may not expect to pick high again soon; this aligns with a broader strategy of rebuilding around a younger, cheaper QB when needed.

Q: What will it take for Connor McDavid to stay with the Oilers?
The hosts suggest McDavid will stay if the Oilers show continued improvement, keep competitive, and feel the path to success is realistic without needing an immediate Stanley Cup, rather than relying on a single championship year.
Rod Pedersen Show Part 2 | Jamie Thomas Joins! | RP Show Ep. 1741 | May 20, 2026
Q: What makes Jamie Thomas enjoy covering the Jets and doing the Ground Control Podcast?
Thomas emphasizes access to True North's operations, the ability to deepen understanding of how an NHL team runs, and the camaraderie with coaches, scouts, and players as what makes Jets reporting rewarding.

Q: What's your read on the series between Colorado and Vegas, and tonight's game?
Colorado is the class of the series with strong goaltending and depth; Vegas is a tough opponent but faces distractions that could tilt the balance in Colorado's favor for Game 1, though the games should be highly entertaining.
