Sometimes you just feel like you want to be a part of something you think is special.

That’s what happened to Mike Ryan.  Mike is the super-sharp, super-creative executive producer of The Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz.  How did he get to that spot?  He heard something one day.  Mike tells that story that saw him go from veterinary sales to executive producer of one of the most popular shows in sports radi0–and how it didn’t necessarily happen overnight.

Mike talks pet peeves, the impact digital and–now–television have on the show, and how he works all in this podcast.
