Mike Ham

Mike Ham is the founder of Radio Garden State, New Jersey’s loudest, boldest, and most unapologetically bootstrapped 24/7 internet radio station. Fueled by the DIY hustle and a love for everything Jersey, Mike built Radio Garden State to amplify the voices and stories of the Garden State’s creators, from indie musicians to local podcasters and community storytellers.

Mike doesn’t just run a radio station—he drives a movement. With a focus on the raw, authentic, and rebellious spirit that defines New Jersey, he’s created a platform where the sounds of diners, dive bars, boardwalks, and backyards collide. Whether it’s curating playlists, hosting live shows, or bringing the community together at events like Jersey Fest, Mike ensures that Radio Garden State stays true to its mission: “Keep New Jersey Loud.”

When he’s not behind the mic, Mike hits the road for his podcast, "Greetings From the Garden State," where he shines a light on the people and places that make Jersey so electric. From breweries to boardwalks, he’s always finding new ways to showcase the state’s culture and energy.

Mike’s work with Radio Garden State and his podcast isn’t about playing by the rules—it’s about rewriting them. His passion for New Jersey and its creators is at the heart of everything he does, proving that with a little grit and a lot of heart, you can make noise that matters.
