Mike Wickett is a 20+ year radio vet with successful talk shows in Ann Arbor, Milwaukee, and Kansas City. While in Ann Arbor, he covered all things Michigan and Nascar. His move to Milwaukee put him sidelines for Brewers, Bucks, and Packers. Yes  — Lambeau is his favorite place on Earth.

Wickett’s sports coverage earned him two Wisconsin Talk Show of the Year awards, and his move to Kansas City brought him to News Talk, taking his time slot from 17th to second in the market.

Wickett recently won two Wisconsin Podcaster Association awards and continues to fill in for news and sports radio stations all over the country. When he’s not watching or talking sports, he likes spending time with his wife and three kids under two.

He love sports, beer, his wife, and his 3 kids…and maybe not in that order…maybe. Wickett is an opinionated sports talk host (not a hot take artist) who values a good conversation with fans and just wants to have a good time for an hour every Friday afternoon on ESPN 1350!
