MICHAEL TIFFANY’S PODCAST JOURNEY
Meet Michael Tiffany, the host of Midnight Madness Radio. With his passion for rock music and engaging personality, he's been steering this popular radio show across 31 global stations since 2019. In addition to radio, he also made a comeback in TV production in 2024 with new episodes of Midnight Madness TV. | ![]() |
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your background? I played guitar and bass for 37 years off and on in different bands, but aka Joe Public and Voltage with Michael Tiffany stand out. I started producing Midnight Madness TV in 2009 on a Pegasys TV station in Enid OK., and it ended in 2013, so I had 5 years off. In 2019 I decided to start producing Midnight Madness Radio, and it quickly became syndicated on many stations worldwide. | What inspired you to start a podcast? New music was almost ignored, and as much as I like classic rock we must make a way for the future stars. |
How did you come up with the name of your podcast? Working with MS Paint. | What is the main focus or theme of your show? Music, music that rocks, interviews of musicians and rock stars. ![]() |
Have there been any particularly memorable moments during the recording that stick out to you? N/A-Radio show.
| Who has been one of your favorite guests so far, and why? Roger Earl from Foghat, and I had met in 2016. What's next for your show – any exciting plans we should know about? For now, I am focusing on providing quality content to build the audience base. As the show grows, so will opportunities to bring more content - including bonuses and guests. I did recently start doing polls on Spotify for engagement, and I plan to start utilizing TikTok in the near future, either relating to the case or behind the scenes shenanigans. Who knows? |
A special thanks to MICHAEL for sharing his insightful podcast journey thus far and we wish him all the best with his continued podcast growth.
