The Johnny Rogers Show

Welcome to The Johnny Rogers Show! I’m Johnny Rogers, and every week I sit down with incredible guests from all walks of life—stand-up comics, musicians, teachers, artists, and more. Each conversation is packed with valuable life lessons and fresh perspectives, all centered around one unique twist: my guest chooses a single word.
