Before the next chapter
That was me in the ’80s and ’90s.
I spent two decades behind microphones, in control rooms and helping build radio, television and early digital newsrooms. Those years—and the people in them—still matter to me.
My legal name is Michael Lawrence Blinder. But for anyone trying to reconnect from those radio and TV years, Mike Lawrence is still home.
