This section is designed to give our listeners a reference data base of all our guests.  If you need to do research into any of the different area's that we cover in the course of a week, a month or a year, it can be found here.  It's our intention to cover as many topics related to the Entertainment Industry as we can, so our program is two fold.  Number one, it's informative and enjoyable listening to our radio audience, and number two, it's interactive on our web site, so our listeners can get involved, "Hands On".  With interactivity through "Emails to Rodney" and a data base that our listeners can pull up at any time 24 hours a day, we feel that we can be an asset to anyone seeking information about the "Entertainment Industry".  Contact Rodney
