Michael Baisden & George Willborn

Michael Baisden

Michael Baisden is undeniably one of the most influential and engaging personalities in radio history. His meteoric rise to #1 redefined radio with the numbers to back it up. The show was heard in over 100 cities nationwide with over 7 million loyal listeners daily in his 10-year career. His career began when he took a leap of faith to leave his job driving trains in Chicago to self-publish his book and began touring the country selling books out of the trunk of his car. According to Simon & 鞋匠, Michael Baisden is “probably the most successful self-published African American male author out there today.” With nearly 2 million books in print his books blend the perfect combination of entertainment, humor, provocation and sexuality. Two of his titles ultimately were adapted into stage plays playing to sold out crowds across the US. Scripts for feature films based on his books are in development.
