Hesitation Cuts Mike TV

In this episode, Mike TV says farewell to his audience. It is an episode that spans his 20+ year music career, featuring (mostly) never-before-heard stories and songs that range from 2001 to 2024 compositions. As always, it is honest, heartfelt, and significantly embarrassing at various moments throughout the episode.

This episode features brand-new recordings of the songs Break Your Heart, Music Makes Me Wanna Die, Escape From Which Mountain, and Stumble On.

In this episode, Mike TV discusses how he went about making Get Set Go's 24th studio album, Dynamite.

This episode features the following original songs, Holes In My Skull, Any Body, (W)retch, Dynamite, The Way We Dance.

In this episode, Mike TV discusses storytelling and how giving the audience a little agency can allow for myriad experiences of the very same piece of art. This, he argues, is something to be embraced and cherished and pursued. Perhaps not with every song or story but, sometimes, leaving room for multiple interpretations invites the audience to consider and hopefully, come away with a more nuanced and less black-and-white perspective about the world around them. Which, sad to say, seems to be less in favor today than ever.

This episode features the songs I'll Come Around, My Bike My Love, A Wound that Never Bleeds, A Heat That Kills, and Child of God.

In this episode, Mike TV discusses the prerequisites necessary to endure failure and upset, frustration and setbacks, to the point that a person is dropped to their knees, and yet, somehow, they climb back to their feet, dust themselves off, and begin again. What is it that inspires some people to persevere where others falter? What inspires a person to keep climbing back into the ring after they have receive a sound pummeling?

This episode features brand-new recordings of the following Get Set Go tracks: Light It Up, Into the Deep, Secret of My Success, We Will Be Stars, From a Little Room in Downtown.

In this Episode, Mike TV explores poverty, and how it effects all people, no matter their economic status. Told through the lens of Mike's own struggles with money. Being impoverished, or just-barely-better-than, while simultaneously releasing hundreds and hundreds of songs, multiple books, thousands of live-performances, and now two seasons of a podcast, Mike makes the case that work and working hard isn't necessarily the recipe for climbing out of financial hell. But if it's not hard work, what is it? What happens when working smarter and working for what your heart wants don't exactly match up?

This episode features brand-new recordings of The Cost of Everything, Working Class Poor, The Trouble With Being Poor, Today is Your Birthday, and Everybody's Working.
