Radio presenter Mike Wachira has moved to Smooth FM. This is after working for HomeBoyz radio for 13 years.

Mike started his radio career in November 2007. Speaking exclusively to Mpasho.co.ke, Wachira said the events that followed after the launch of the radio station were very vivid in his mind.

"Soon after that, there was the post-election violence and so we got a pay cut. Businesses were failing but we had so much commitment in what we were doing. This was a dream that had come true for me."

Wachira reminisces about the good times he spent with his former co-hosts.

"I have co-hosted the show with amazing presenters from Jeff Mote to Sheila Kwamboka, Kerry Martin, Lotan and Sanaipei. We've always felt like a family"

He says even with social media, radio is here to stay;

"Radio is here to stay. It is a medium that so many rely on and trust. You can get information on social media but the trust people have built with radio shows you that radio is still a medium that is here to stay for a very long time."

Wachira is also one of the most sought after radio presenters who is now under The Radio Africa Group.
