    The Inevitability of a Strange World (2025 Wrap Up & Reflection of 5 Years)
    Dec 22 2025
    Five years in, Caught on the Mike has become more than just a podcast—it’s been a journey shaped by persistence, creativity, community, and a whole lot of unpredictability.

    In this reflective solo episode, I look back on what 2025 represented for the show: 59 episodes released, countless conversations, personal milestones, and lessons learned along the way. From evolving the format to navigating noise, burnout, and social media negativity, this episode dives into why storytelling still matters and why showing up consistently is the real win.

    We focus honestly about growth, resilience, and the importance of creating a positive space where meaningful stories can live. It’s about choosing quality, fostering connection, and keeping perspective in a strange, often overwhelming world.

    As the show looks ahead to 2026, the focus is clear: deeper conversations, more collaboration, more in-person episodes, and continued commitment to making the world feel a little less disconnected—one conversation at a time.

    If you’ve been here since the beginning—or you’re just finding the show—this episode is a moment to pause, reflect, and move forward together.

  • MiniEpisode: Angelo Moore of Fishbone

    MiniEpisode: Angelo Moore of Fishbone
    Nov 26 2025
    In this special mini-episode of Caught on the Mike, host Mike sits down with the legendary Angelo Moore — frontman of Fishbone, creator of Dr. MadVibe, and one of the most influential voices in ska, punk, and funk culture.

    Recorded while Angelo was literally taking a break from vacation, this shorter-than-usual conversation still packs all the energy, insight, and soul you’d expect from a man who has spent his life bending genres, breaking boundaries, and inspiring generations of musicians.

    Angelo talks about his early years in Southern California, the origins of Fishbone, his evolution as Dr. MadVibe, and the creative fire behind the band’s latest work — including their acclaimed album Stockholm Syndrome and their explosive KEXP live session.

    A quick hit with a true icon.
    A legend who needs no warm-up.
    A conversation you won’t want to miss.
