About Me

Mike fell in love with radio in the 70's when some DJ's still experimented with theater of the mind. It wasn't till he ran a retro-radio show that he heard the greats like Jack Benny and Fred Allen. In 1990's and early 2000's Mike hosted a show called The Santa Fe Cafe where he created a dozen characters who would appear every night and converse with callers. He also interviewed several new music acts. In 2008 Mike began a more talk oriented show that was featured exclusively on the Internet. He continues this show today and has more info at MikesDailyPodcast.com
