Podchaser54 years agoMelissaI’ve been introduced to many new artists and gotten to know others better from KTCO. Mike is a thoughtful, smart, and thorough host. More like talking to an old friend than being on an interview.

It’s rare that people really prepare for interviews, and it’s rare that people are both incredibly smart and incredibly generous, and so it’s only right to say that this is a rare show on several counts.

And it is obvious he has given great thought on the art of the interview. Personable, intelligent and kind engagement to draw out the best in his guests.
