The show is a one-of-a-kind on radio featuring a perfect blend of current events, politics, sports, comedy, lifestyle, food, and even live music in the studio.
While working on The Drive, Mike broadened his skill set to included live on-the-scene reporting of major events including covering both the President and Vice President as the radio pool reporter, the Super Bowl, World Series Parades, and NHL Stadium Series game, extreme weather, and breaking news situations.
