Our Team

Paul Loeffler - Host/Executive producer

Speaking into one microphone or another since he was 12 years old, Paul relishes the opportunity to tell compelling stories, whether it’s describing an intense competition on radio or television, helping an aging veteran dig into his historic past to educate the rest of us, or simply sharing from a grateful heart about his own journey.

The longtime radio play-by-play voice of the Fresno State Bulldogs, Paul has enjoyed describing the exploits of student-athletes like Aaron Judge, Paul George, and Derek Carr. He had the privilege of calling the 2008 College World Series before writing a book about the team that won it all – Underdogs to Wonderdogs.

National TV experience includes football, basketball, and baseball play-by-play on ESPN platforms, as well as the unique recurring role of providing expert analysis on national broadcasts of the Scripps National Spelling Bee since 2006.

A decade in local television provided Paul the opportunity to branch off from sports into learning from men and women who wore a different uniform, and together won a crucial victory: America’s World War II veterans. Inspired by his grandfather, a decorated WWII doctor, Paul’s efforts began with an award-winning TV feature and continues with the syndicated radio program, Hometown Heroes. Weekly visits with veterans eventually led to the opportunity to help launch Central Valley Honor Flight, an all-volunteer organization that has transported more than 1,500 veterans, free of charge, to their memorials in Washington, D.C.

josh rodriguez - producer/director/writer

Josh discovered Old Time Radio and Focus on the Family’s Adventures in Odyssey at 9 years old and was immediately hooked. He wrote his first audio drama script while in high school and began writing, directing, and producing shows in the years after graduation. His love for the ”theater of the mind” has led him to write and produce multiple shows including “Yours Truly, Johny Denarii: The Horrendous Alias Matter” which was showcased at Sonic Con 2021’s New Works Festival. 

Josh has a house full of awesome kids that love audio drama as much as he does. His “audio drama snobs” (as he lovingly calls them) help him improve and hone his craft with their honest “no holds barred” reviews.
