John Rode was one smart
guy, and a great jock as well.
Rode is a member of MENSA
International, meaning he is more intelligent that 98 per cent of the
population. The Wisconsin native put that to good use with a clever
wit that gave his shows a very erudite air. Rode jocked all over North
America, but is probably most identified with 1050 CHUM where he spent
the bulk of his career.
Enjoy John Rode on CHUM from
July 30, 1970 (UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck of the
Week.
