The Eric and Mike Podcast

After 15 years of waking up Central Florida with absurd antics, off-the-wall games, and just the right amount of chaos, Eric and Mike—former hosts of The Big Max Morning Show on Max 98.3 FM—are back and louder than ever with The Eric and Mike Podcast! These two radio renegades have traded the studio clock for total freedom, diving headfirst into Polk County headlines, nostalgic storytelling, and all the weirdness Florida has to offer—now with zero FCC oversight (you’ve been warned). Eric Michaels, the long-running morning show host and program director with a voice as smooth as buttered lightning, teams up once again with Mike Lee—a standup comedian and comedy club owner (yes, really)—whose brain is basically a grab bag of puns, dad jokes, and unsolicited trivia. Whether they’re playing games, chatting with Sheriff Grady Judd, or just roasting each other for sport, The Eric and Mike Podcast is like your favorite breakfast sandwich: messy, comforting, and guaranteed to start your day with a laugh.
