5 things about Mike McIntyre
Mike gave a crowd-sourced graduation speech to the Class of 2025. The first line? Surround yourself with good people. You have a lot to learn from others.
A post by Skrticx on Facebook described Mike's approach to radio hosting like this: he didn't turn it into a soapbox, he made it a front porch.
He graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor of Science in journalism and from St. Edward High School.
He's a West side lifer!
The Ledges Trail in Cuyahoga Valley National Park is his favorite spot in Northeast Ohio.
