This week on Hey! Michelle with a Mic, Michelle sits down with Katie Walters, Promotions Director for iHeartRadio Cincinnati and Executive Producer of the 50th Western & Southern WEBN Fireworks, to talk about the career, community, and Cincinnati tradition behind one of the city’s biggest nights of the year.

Then, it’s all about the BOOM.

Plus: Billy Idol, backstage stories, stolen speakers, throwback WEBN memories, Third Eye Blind, and a finale Katie promises is going to be absolutely epic.
