In this episode of March Forth, Mike Bauman chats with friend and former colleague Mik Gonzales.
A longtime play-by-play announcer and sports media personality, Mik chats with Mike about his passion for sports and how he got into broadcasting. From his early experimentation with internet broadcasts in the 90's, to meeting Mike Jameson and starting Toledo Sports Network, to his 20 years as the voice of the Toledo Cherokee, Mik takes Mike on the journey of his sports broadcasting career. In that journey is the story of how Mik met Mike nearly 10 years ago and got his wheels turning on getting into sports broadcasting.
The pair also discusses Mik's recent and ongoing cancer battle, how he's persevering through it, as well as his SAP Memorial Award honor from the Toledo Cherokee in a heartwarming ceremony by the team. Additionally, Mike touches on the global Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic and the surreal times we're in.
You can listen to Mik each Sunday morning from 9 am - 10 am on his sports talk radio show "The Cheap Seats," which airs on 106.5 The Ticket in Toledo. For more on Mik, check out the links below.

On this episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with his brother Brandon! A long time coming, this conversation is one that Mike has wanted to have on the pod for awhile. As Mike's eldest sibling, Brandon was the one who got him to start going down the heavy music rabbit hole when he was younger. The two talk about how Brandon got into heavy music, the different genres of heavy and alternative music that topped the charts over the years, some of their faves, and where music is at now. Mike also talks about the theme behind the pod's new name - "March Forth" - as well as his relationship with Brandon beyond music. Enjoy!

On this episode of Bauman's Breakdown, Mike returns from a near three-month hiatus (after traveling to another dimension via a spiritual journey of epic proportions) and tells the tale...well, not really. He was just really busy, and talks about that a wee bit. And some NBA.
The real meat and potatoes of this pod, though, comes in Mike sharing with you his Top 10-ish Bands/Albums of the Past Decade-ish. The "ish" is necessary because he couldn't narrow it down to a straight up 10. Plus, it's his party, and he'll cry if he wants to (wait, what?). Now go have a listen and hear about some tasty bands, albums and jams!
Speaking of tasty jams, this podcast also features the song "Hole In The Sky" from Starsleeper.
Keep the faith and be kind to one another, friends. Oh, and click the links for awesome music!
