Rod Brooks joins KNBR Off Air for a trip through nearly 30 years of Bay Area sports history. From arriving in the Bay Area as a 25-year-old radio host with a U-Haul and a dream, to becoming one of the most recognizable voices in Bay Area sports media, Rod shares incredible stories from his time covering the Giants, 49ers, Raiders, Warriors, and some of the biggest names in sports.

We talk about why Kruk & Kuip deserve more recognition, what made the Harbaugh-era 49ers so special, the Warriors' rise from laughingstock to dynasty, and some unforgettable behind-the-scenes moments featuring Jerry Rice, Tim Brown, Charles Woodson, Steve Young, Rick Barry, Barrett Robbins, and more.
