I am sad to report that local CHLY 101.7 FM local radio celebrity 𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗥𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟮, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟭 𝗮𝗺 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗛𝗟𝗬 𝟭𝟬𝟭.𝟳 𝗙𝗠 from his long-time radio program of 17 years, What's Next, the week following his 95th birthday. Tom will be celebrating his second last CHLY radio show with his 95th birthday show this Monday June 15, 2026. The show will be hosted by CHLY's Arbie Fru.

To make his last radio program special on the 22nd, Tom Roden has invited another local celebrity to join him on the final show on June 22nd.

Quadwrangle Music's Producer 𝗟𝘂𝗶𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮, 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗼 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱, will join Tom for a LIVE interview with a surprise multi-award-winning guest! Luigi - also known as Luis Porretta, is celebrated locally in for his jazz production work, kindness and support towards local, national, and international musicians, and for his popular music concerts he produces at venues such as Simonholt Restaurant. He is also an exceptional antiques, restoration, and appraisals expert. You can listen to the interview show featuring Porretta here at chly (dot) ca/ listen or on your radio dial at 101.7 FM in Nanaimo on June 22 at 11 am.

There is a special story behind the stats of his last CHLY 101.7 FM What's Next radio program. On further exploration of the numerics behind his last show, Tom informed me his last show is his 𝟴𝟴𝟴th show. I looked up the number's meaning and then informed Tom it was a very special number. Tom had chosen intuitively a very special number. Read on to learn more.

It turns out in Chinese numerology, the number 8 means a new beginning, and is also a very, very lucky number with much positive energy. The number 8 is associated with wealth, prosperity, success and status. Here is the Google AI overview,

"The number 8 is considered the absolute luckiest number in Chinese culture because its pronunciation, "ba," sounds similar to "fa" (发), which means to prosper, flourish, or generate wealth.

The profound significance of the number 8 influences many aspects of daily life, business, and tradition in China.

Financial & Business Success: Because it represents prosperity, individuals and corporations are willing to pay massive premiums for addresses, license plates, bank accounts, and phone numbers containing the digit 8.

Major Events: The cultural obsession with the number is so deep that the Chinese government scheduled the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games to begin exactly at 8:08 PM on the 8th of August (8/8/08) to harness its positive energy."

Due to the eight trigrams and their relation to the very basic foundation of life, eight is considered to be the foundation of everything.

"Tom said when told about the significance of the number 888 and his retirement date said, "It was just the luck of the Irish." :)

I was just interviewed by ROAR's Kimberly Stevens who l just adored! She has become such a favourite and she is absolutely wonderful! I broke down and talked about what's real to me at the end of the interview. By the way my short mini-documentary jazz film is called In the Zone: Rick Kilburn, with all the questions and chat, l had actually forgotten to mention the title! Some fabulous people mentioned here, too, including two incredible past mentors: Kathleen Darby and Todd Jones! https://youtu.be/JX3ZJ8rrs-g?si=X3rFrHZMGLTvgAW8
