RADIO / Kudos

"Rod makes a perfect guest; he’s always well informed in his field with the latest information and is an unrivaled communicator. Rod can simplify complex technical stories for audience consumption and find the narrative that holds their attention."

– Dale Cooper, Program Director, WCHS radio/Charleston

 

"Rod is that wonderful type of guest who is not only an expert in the field but is also engaging when discussing it.  His ability to take the complex and break it down to understandable pieces creates interest from a broad spectrum of listeners whether they are avid followers of space-related news or a person who just happened to be tuning in on that day.  His visits are always a highlight."

 

– Dan Sugrue, Producer, WGN radio/Chicago

 

"We don't call Rod Pyle our 'Cool Space Dude' for nothing.  He's the epitome of a great guest: funny and always the source of great information. He delivers his segments in the most entertaining way usually resulting in at least one 'Hey I didn't know that!' moment to the listener.  He's the ultimate space geek, but one you'd like to talk to for hours and hours!"

 

– Michelle Kube, Program Manager, KFI radio/Los Angeles

"Rod is one of my favorite guests! He's as well-informed as anyone who comes on our show, but he's also great fun...and funny! Our audience enjoys him as much as I do. I look forward to our next great conversation."

 

– Mat Kaplan, Host and Producer of Planetary Radio, The Planetary Society
