Detroit Radio: Drew Lane Launches Podcast

Drew Lane
Former “Drew and Mike” morning show host Drew Lane — and longtime “Drew and Mike” producers Mike Wolters and Marc Fellhauer— debuted their new “DM&M” podcast Wednesday morning on Soundcloud.com.

According to The Detroit Free Press, the podcast, which was recorded at Wolters’ home Tuesday evening, had a couple of technical issues, including the very first few minutes of the show not making the final posting. It also didn’t include Lane’s longtime cohost on WRIF-FM (101.1), Mike Clark.

The trio talked about for 72 minutes about current events, sports, the Rolling Stones and more. As far as breaking news about a new “Drew and Mike” morning show?

“This would’ve been a great position to be in 20 years ago,” Lane said when talking about the radio industry, which then would have presented many potential employers. “Now you have four.”

Lane said that they’ve talked with all the different companies that own major Detroit radio stations, including Greater Media Detroit, which let “Drew and Mike” go and manages WRIF, WCSX-FM (94.7) and WMGC (105.1). Former CIMX-FM (88.7) morning show hosts Dave Hunter, Chuck (the Freak) Urquhart and Lisa Way launched their “Dave & Chuck the Freak” morning on WRIF on May 28.

“We’re going to be back on the air. I promise you we will be back on air,” Lane said, just as one of the microphones fizzled out.

On Wednesday afternoon, Fellhauer told the Free Press that the podcast is “a bridge to whatever is next.”
