After retiring in 2014, Mike returned to the airwaves in 2019 as host of Morin in the Morning, on Frank FM, heard on four stations in New Hampshire. He has since embarked on what he calls Retirement 2.0, leaving Frank FM at the end of 2020. He now hosts business talk shows on 99.9FM/AM 1370 WFEA. Along the way, Mike also worked at stations in Detroit, Toledo, Washington, D.C., New York City, Boston and served as 12-year co-host of New Hampshire in the Morning on 95.7-WZID in Manchester. His writing career began in 2004, where after 18 years, Mike still produces a humor column every other Sunday for the Nashua Telegraph. He is a contributor to New Hampshire Magazine and has had articles in the Boston Globe and Chicken Soup for the Soul books.
