Rider Rumblings

Cody Fajardo was already playing in the CFL before joining the Riders, but there's no question that this season has been his big break.

In this episode we talk about Fajardo's ascent and where his career could go next, who else in the organization deserves credit for the team's success, Jon Ryan haters and we make some predictions on what place the Riders will finish at the end of the regular season.

This week's special guest is Rod Pedersen.
