WHAT THEY ARE SAYING:
Bob Duffy
“Dom Genova brings Rochester’s past, present, and future to life each week on his show through entertaining interviews with his guests. You may know some guests, and you may never have heard of others, but you will walk away having learned so much about Rochester and the many great people who permeate our community, thanks to Dom. I tune in at every opportunity – and I have never been disappointed.”.
Jack Palvino Legendary Rochester Radio personality.
“Dom’s an entertaining host. His radio shows are lively, topical, and always interesting. You’ll learn something new each week about the people shaping Rochester..”
Veteran Disc Jockey Brother WEASE, (Alan Levin)
“For a guy with no radio experience at all, Dom does one of the very best talk shows in western New York. Educational for sure, but the dude has an excellent sense of humor, so besides getting informed by Rochester’s movers and shakers good laughs add to the enjoyment. “
JoAnne Ryan, President and CEO, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Rochester
“Truly, one of the most enjoyable interviews I have ever had! Dom is so down to earth, hysterically funny and naturally intuitive. His interview style isn’t forced or over scripted... It’s just a genuine conversation with the added bonus of bringing interesting stories and people to his listening audience. Dom is a perfect example of someone who emulates Ben Franklin's quote..." Do well by doing good’.”
Jack Allocco, 11 time Emmy award winner:
“Being interviewed by Dom was a complete pleasure. Dom keeps the conversation, light, insightful, interesting and above all entertaining. He is a consummate pro at the top of his game.”
Naomi Silver, President and CEO of the Rochester Red Wings Dom’s commitment to the community is evident in all that he does, in and outside of his radio show. From his generous philanthropic support of local charities to his quest to educate and entertain via his radio show, Dom is always looking to bring people and interests together for the betterment of all he touches.”
Bonnie Garner
“Dom Genova’s radio talk show is extremely entertaining. He does wonderful interviews that are insightful and interesting with fascinating people. His demeanor is relaxed, and he makes the guest feel comfortable and at ease. I always get the feeling that they are enjoying the interaction as much as Dom is. He has a great sense of humor and I really enjoy his show.”
