Rod Martens is one of the most prominent voices in rock radio in Atlantic Canada.
He's not only the host of Rock Mornings at Rock 88.9, Saint John's rock radio station, he's also station's manager.
Though Rod is very much integrated into the Saint John community, his rock 'n' roll radio journey started years back in small-town Ontario, But believe us, it was from boring.
In this episode of Strange Grooves, we chat with Rod about how he got started in commercial radio, and how the format has evolved over the years and what role it plays now. We also get into his upbringing in southern Ontario, where he was only a short drive away from the most rock 'n' roll cities: Cincinnati and Detroit. You bet he's got some amazing concert experiences to share.
That and so much more on this episode of Strange Grooves!
