Howdy!

Welcome to the home of 'The Mike Brown Radio Show' here on 105.3 Seaside FM.

I'm taking a break from the wireless to work on other projects at the moment. In the meantime, If you want to relive any of the moments from the show, catch up on my blogs, or remind yourself about the guests I've interviewed then read on as I've conveniently stuck everything in one place for you, just click on any of the links below.

The Presenter
First, a bit about me, well it is/was my show! My first taste of the media was at a freelance journalists during work experience at school. Then just after leaving school in 1992, I landed a slot on a small temporary radio station in Hull called Radio Cracker which had launched the careers of many of the people you hear on local radio today. Ever since I've popped up on stations all over the place in and around Yorkshire doing what I do best, talking and playing records! My last radio outing prior to Seaside FM was presenting breakfast on one of the applicants of the full-time Hull licence called Soul City FM.

Other than radio, I've also done the rounds as a pub and club DJ too playing at the likes of The Tower, Courts Bar, Lexington Avenue, Flares, Corn Exchange, King Billy and The Goodfellowship in Hull. Despite loving the nightlife and making people dance I eventually gave it up as I felt that the music scene took a nose-dive and I couldn't play records I didn't like any longer.

Personally, I'm into anything that isn't R&B, it's untalented nonsense if you ask me, sorry R&B fans! Personally, I feel northern soul & motown is propper music. Despite being made many years ago, the quality of the production still shines through and the singers sound like they mean what their singing about. I'm also into alternative stuff like indie, mod, rock and the occasional funky house track.

The Show
Regular listeners of the show will know that it can be a bit off the wall, but all the essential ingredients to keep you in touch, informed and entertained are in the mix.

The music you hear on the show is an eclectic mix of 60s, 70s, 80s & 90s and what ever comes out of my box next! Generally, I don't do requests, this is because all I ever get asked for is stuff that you can already hear on other radio stations, although if you can think of anything good enough you can email me by clicking 'ere.

The Theme
You may have noticed that I use a theme tune for various junctions of the show. The track I've adopted is "I Like Mike" by Jay Spears. You can now watch the video for "I Like Mike" by clicking 'ere. Thanks to Jay Spears for letting me use this.
