Zoller Co-Host Pastor Rod Hughey Dies at 54
Martha Zoller, host of “The Martha Zoller Show” on Jacobs Media’s WDUN-AM/FM, Gainesville, Georgia tells TALKERS magazine that her co-host Pastor Rod Hughey passed away after a brief illness on Wednesday (3/27). Hughey began hosting and filling in on WDUN in 2020. Zoller comments, “I met Rod through the organized protest in Gainesville during the George Floyd era. He put together law enforcement, Chamber of Commerce representatives, and community members to have open dialogue and to make sure something like George Floyd never happened in our area. I knew I had to talk to him after that.” In addition to his radio work, Hughey was pastor of the Atlanta Community Church, Gainesville campus and had been an active member of the community, serving as a chaplain for the Gainesville Police Department. He is survived by his wife, Vel, and children. Pictured above are (clockwise from top left): Zoller, Bill Maine, Hughey, and Senator Raphael Warnock.
