Mike Preston takes the edge off a stressful day as the evening host of the most popular evening Oldies program in the country. An Ohio native, Mike has always given his time and energy to things that are important to him, whether it’s his job or a charity like the American Cancer Society. That giving part of his personality has made his 30-plus years in radio very successful.

"Radio personalities are the unpaid psychiatrists of the world," jokes Mike. "We try to make people feel better about the world every single day." Preston knows what he’s talking about. As the host of the Oldiez 96 evening show, he spends a lot of time talking to listeners, because a good part of the show is dedications and requests. "I love it," he says. "I love talking to them. I love playing the Oldies."

Off the air, Mike spends his free time working with charities. He’s also a serious family man who is devoted to his wife and three children. "Probably the highest honor I ever received in any career was being presented with a ‘Best Dad in the World’ award from my children."
