LATEST FROM COTM:
10/2/26-
Something pretty damn cool is happening.
I’ve officially been selected as one of the hosts competing in Top Host 2026 — and public voting opens October 5 at 10 AM PDT.
The winner gets the opportunity to have a six-episode podcast produced by iHeartRadio, $25,000, and a guest spot on On Air with Ryan Seacrest.
For me, this isn’t just about a competition. It’s an opportunity to take everything I’ve built with Caught On The Mike over the last six years and see what it could become with a bigger platform and more resources behind it.
I’d love to have you in my corner.
Voting opens October 5 at 10 AM PDT/ 12 PM CST.
I’ll share exactly how often you can vote and how to do it once voting goes live.
Until then, check out my Top Host profile and see what this is all about:
VOTE FOR MICHAEL CLARK — TOP HOST 2026
Six years of COTM got me here.
Let’s see where we can take it.
THE STORIES BEHIND THE PEOPLE YOU THINK YOU KNOW.
Music. Entertainment. Culture. Life.
Caught On The Mike goes beyond the headline, the bio and the public persona to find the stories that shaped the people behind them.
Because everybody has a story.
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.
The common thread is simple:
Real people. Real experiences. Real conversations.
Caught On The Mike isn't about collecting famous names.
It's about discovering the person behind the name—and finding the moments that remind us we're not so different after all.
