Mikes on Mic

Looking Back, Moving Forward: A Whole Lot of Jacksonville History

Mike Miller, Mike Tolbert, Mike Hightower Episode 117

We're throwing it back to one of our favorite milestone moments—the one-year anniversary of Mikes on Mic! In this special episode, originally recorded at The Jacksonville History Center, the Mikes reflect on highlights from the first 51 episodes that helped shape the conversation in and around Jacksonville.

From Sheriff Nat Glover’s powerful stories, to Michael Krause of Politico on the influence of political strategist Susie Wiles, to early memories of the Jacksonville Jazz Festival, and insights from UNF pollster Dr. Michael Bender on the city's shifting political landscape—this episode packs a punch.

We’re also joined in-studio by Dr. Alan Bliss, CEO of the Jacksonville Historical Society, for a rich discussion on how history continues to shape the city’s future.

Whether you're new to the show or a longtime listener, this episode is a perfect snapshot of what Mikes on Mic is all about—and a reminder of the big stories and voices we've brought to the mic.

🎙️ Tune in and get ready—because there’s a lot more coming your way.
