On Wednesday, October 28, Dustin Kensrue of Thrice joins the show for a new conversation exploring songwriting, creativity, and the emotions that shape the music we make.

NEW ON THE MIKE

RAW.

REAL.

RELATABLE.

For over six years, Michael Clark has sat across from musicians, actors, athletes, creators and cultural voices to have the conversations you don't always hear in the press release.

Some are about music. Some are about careers. Some go somewhere neither person expected.

Real people. Real experiences. Real conversations.

Who in the hell is Michael Clark?

I've always believed there's supposed to be more to the story.

Long before Caught On The Mike, there was music. For almost two decades, I fronted rock bands across the Midwest. I released seven albums, got some radio play, opened for artists I grew up admiring, and collected enough stories to fill a lifetime.

What started in a basement with a couple of friends in 2020 has grown into something I never really expected: hundreds of conversations with musicians, actors, athletes, creators and cultural voices.

The person behind the song.

The person behind the character.

The person behind the career.

The person behind the public image.

I'm a husband. A father. A retired musician. A lifelong music fan. We're all carrying a story.

I'm Michael Clark. Thanks for riding shotgun.

My last band, AURASING
