Mike Bacigalupo, more commonly known around the city as Bach, is a product of Lowell’s Christian Hill neighborhood and Lowell Public Schools.

He began his media career in radio with occasional appearances on WCAP’s Morning Drive Show with InsideLowell Founder Teddy Panos in 2017. Soon, he was hosting the Asa & Bach Show, aka “The Power Hour” from 2019-2022. His inside knowledge of the city, combined with a razor-sharp wit, make his style as entertaining as any you’ll find on the local media scene. 

In “real life,” Bach has been active in local politics and civic organizations. His 25-year career focuses mostly in the non-profit sector, formerly in program management and currently in fiscal and budgeting matters.

He brings a unique perspective to the local and national scene, realizing that ultimately there is humor in everything, nothing is really that serious and if it’s not fun, it’s not worth doing.

A long-time fixture in the Lowell media scene, Teddy Panos founded InsideLowell, a 21st century multi-media company shaped by his over 30-year career in television, radio, newspaper, digital and social media.

Panos most recently capped a nearly 15-year run as Host of the Morning Drive Show on 980WCAP-AM, where he became a go-to source for local news and information. Whether breaking major news stories or securing interviews with newsmakers ranging from Presidential candidates and members of the U.S. Congress to local officials and community figures, he could be counted on to tell the story behind the story through his unique style and humor.

Prior to radio, Panos authored the first ever blog for the Lowell Sun newspaper, while also penning a weekly column. Before that, he was a 2-time award winning Sports Anchor/Reporter for WNDS-TV in Derry, NH, Teddy got his start in media working as a Sports Producer at WHDH-TV in Boston from 1992-1999.

Jack Mitchell has been jousting with establishment media and political power brokers since the early days of the 2007 NH Primary. As a grassroots activist with “Veterans for Obama,” Mitchell sharpened his new media edges skirmishing on a prominent NH Blog against other activists and “machine Democrats.”

By 2009, new media venues in Lowell were seriously challenging the dominance of legacy media. The variety of perspectives and personalities of Lowell’s Bloggers did not neatly mesh with the narratives and frames that where being spun. Mitchell thrived in this environment and, over a decade, carefully stumbled his way into becoming a dreaded establishment figure in his own right.

Eventually, Jack noted the limits of blogging, with a scourge of anonymous trash talkers. So he translated his voice over to Social Media, creating the Lowell Live Feed Forum Facebook Group, realizing the potential of Facebook as a tool to organize and influence.
