Originally from Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, Mike (or Michael to his parents when he's in trouble) joined BFBS Radio in 2003. He was inspired to chase a career in radio after seeing a presenter reading star signs from Teletext at Radio Calderdale, the hospital radio station in Halifax. Well, who wouldn't be?
He went to the University of Sunderland - didn't really do very much to be honest, but did make sure he was in the union bar in the evening. He worked on Utopia FM there, despite them not having Teletext.
He went on to work for some commercial stations, cleaning toilets, shining shoes and generally bumbling about aimlessly until he blagged a job with BFBS Radio. So far, the highlights of his show are the bits where he actually stops talking about the daytime TV he's been watching that morning and plays some music.
Check him out every weekday from 4pm UK time and contact the show: Email mike@bfbs.com Text the studio: 07740 377 377 starting your text with UK and then a space, or give him a call for a chat: 01494 848 001 He gets lonely!
