Mike Hadge's Digital portfolio
Here are a few of my favorite examples of the multitude of projects I've written for digital platforms.
A songwriting (and song RIGHTing) reel like no other!
The Official Website of Howard Stern
From 2015-2017, Hadge worked with a team to completely redesign and relaunch Howard Stern's official website, enhancing user experience and creating daily content to complement the show and Stern universe. Take a look at the new, updated design here and check out one of my extensive, multimedia-laced live show rundowns here.
Record BreakHers (Web Series)
In this Mashable web series, Alli Goldberg and Jen Jamula attempt to break some of the most ridiculous world records held by men. I acted as Script Supervisor and helped write for all of Season 1. Check it out!
Bad News Booey (Video)
I conceived, wrote, and produced this ESPN parody for The Howard Stern Show in honor of producer Gary Dell'Abate's ill-fated first pitch at a Mets game in 2009. The faux-documentary features Jimmy Kimmel, Michael Rapaport, Peter Gammons, Kevin Burkhardt, Dan Patrick, Artie Lange, and more.
Wheels of Fire
A narrative essay selected for comedy magazine The Dirty Pool's Q4 2017 issue.
Front Men Who Played Backup
Another extensively-researched piece written for Purple Clover all about rock stars who secretly played on other artists' tracks.
John Goodman Works in Any Genre
A guest-centric promotional piece written for HowardStern.com and mentioned on air during Howard's interview with John Goodman and served as a point of conversation.
Brad Garrett's Animated Characters Lose Their Sh*t
In honor of Stern Show guest Brad Garrett, I pitched, outlined, sourced, and edited this compilation video of no less than 35 Brad Garrett characters screaming, yelling, or otherwise simply losing their sh*t. The man himself was greatly honored and amused by the video.
Read Good Time: The Simple Greatness of Rod Stewart's Faces
In-depth, multi-media think piece/band profile written for HowardStern.com in honor of show guest Rod Stewart. Basically, the article I would have pitched to Rolling Stone on my first day.
