Mike Waters
I’ve been doing radio for 35 years and wouldn’t give it up for the world. I have two brilliant step-kids Ethan and Jenna. They don’t refer to me as their stepfather just, “Hey, You!” …especially when they want money.
I feel very lucky to be hosting The Waters Wake-Up call every morning 5:30-10. My job description is to sit on my butt and play great tunes all morning! I also get to talk to you, the Eastern Iowa community, and attempt to bring some information, humor, and entertainment along with me.
The Waters Wake-Up Call is your musical/comic relief for all the insanity that this world has become over the last few years. Instead of real news, I have fun with the news as I deliver Hit and Run Headlines and the 5 Things you Didn’t Know You Needed to Hear. Tuesday has become Tunesday focusing on music topics, Thursdays are Throwback Thursdays remembering the good times of the 70s and 80s!
More about Waters
Born a poor white child in Davenport, Iowa. Son of Muddy Waters and sister of Roger Waters. I Lived in Iowa for the first year of my life and grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis called New Hope! That always gets my fellow Star Wars geeks excited. My 2 favorite things in life, other than my family are good comedy (Marx Brothers, Monty Python, Steve Martin, Bill Murray, etc…) and good music! Classic Hits of course.
I’ve been doing radio for 30 years in places like Madison, Wisconsin, Southern Maryland, Yakima Washington, and for most of my adult life in Fargo, North Dakota where I’ve said things like “Oof Duh!” and “You Betcha!”. I’ve seen the movie over 20 times. I’ve also seen the movie, Cedar Rapids starring Ed Helms and John C Reilly…liked that one a lot as well. Unfortunately, neither of those movies were filmed in their titular locations.
