In this episode of the Beyond Broadcast podcast, I speak with broadcasting extraordinaire, Mikey Havoc.
With an incredible journey starting in the music industry with band Push Push, before becoming a prominent figure in radio and television with a decent stint in the Auckland nightlife scene – Mikey really has done it all.
We walk through his incredibly quick rise and to becoming a staple part of the media landscape in New Zealand and we dabble in some of the wild and funny stories along the way.
Sadly this interview was cut shorter due to technical issues but this bite-sized episode of the podcast doesn’t even cover a fraction of his captivating life – we could’ve spoken for hours and barely scratched the surface. (I hope you know Mikey, there were tears in my ears for multiple reasons during this)
Recorded May 26 2025 – Some items items discussed which came to fruition
- Reformation tour for Push Push (What a legend)
