Production Director/Producer: This Is My Thing, Arts Eclectic, Get Involved, Sonic IDsMike is a features producer at KUT, where he’s been working since his days as an English major at the University of Texas. He produces and hosts This Is My Thing and Arts Eclectic, and also produces Get Involved and the Sonic ID project, among other things. When pressed to do so, he’ll write short paragraphs about himself in the third person, but usually prefers not to.
