The Wait Is Over… The AC Mike Show Podcast Premieres Tomorrow!

Hey Folks,

It’s been a long time coming, but I’m excited to finally share some news I’ve been waiting years to tell you.

The very first episode of The AC Mike Show Podcast drops tomorrow, Friday, July 24!

For years, I’ve talked about creating a show where the conversations could go beyond a quick radio interview—a place where we could sit down, take our time, and really talk with the people who are helping shape Atlantic City and South Jersey.

Thanks to a lot of hard work—and some amazing people who believed in the vision—that idea has finally become a reality.

Episode One Features Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small

I’m honored that Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small joined me for the inaugural episode of The AC Mike Show Podcast.

We had an open and candid conversation about the Jersey Shore, the tri-state area, his story, the city, its future, the challenges, the opportunities, and what lies ahead for Atlantic City.

Whether you agree with every opinion or not, my goal has always been simple: give people the opportunity to hear directly from the individuals making a difference in our community.

The video podcast will be available on The AC Mike Show YouTube channel. Take a second to subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss the inaugural episode—or any of the conversations coming next.

The show will also be available in audio format across the major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and the other places you already listen to your favorite shows. Whether you’re watching from home, listening in the car, walking the Boardwalk, or heading over the 48, you’ll be able to join the conversation.

And We’re Just Getting Started

Our second episode is already in the books and will premiere on Friday, July 31.

That episode features Evan Sanchez, co-founder of Authentic City Partners, an entrepreneur and community leader who has dedicated himself to Atlantic City’s long-term renaissance through projects like the Orange Loop, Hayday Coffee, Cardinal, and numerous community initiatives focused on building a stronger Atlantic City.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s happening behind many of the exciting new developments in town, you won’t want to miss this conversation. You can learn more about Evan Sanchez and Authentic City Partners.

A Studio That Feels Like Atlantic City

One thing I wanted from day one was for this podcast to feel different.

I didn’t want a generic studio. I wanted a place that immediately says Atlantic City.

From the neon AC Mike Show sign to the Atlantic City memorabilia surrounding the set, every detail reflects the city and community I’ve loved my entire life. When guests walk in, they know exactly where they are—and hopefully, you’ll feel that same connection every time you tune in.

A Huge Thank You

None of this would have happened without the incredible work of Alyssa Kuehner of Jebtam Publishing, LLC.

Alyssa has produced this podcast from the ground up, helping turn an idea I’ve carried around for years into something viewers and listeners can enjoy every week. From the cameras and editing to the overall production, she has been instrumental in bringing this vision to life.

I’m grateful for her creativity, professionalism, and patience throughout the process.

What’s Coming Up

• Friday, July 24 — Inaugural episode featuring Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small
• Friday, July 31 — Episode 2 featuring Evan Sanchez of Authentic City Partners

This podcast is all about telling the stories that make our community unique. If you enjoy hearing from the people behind the headlines—and learning more about the people creating new things to do in Atlantic City—I think you’re going to enjoy what we have planned.
