About Me
Mike Wilkerson is a professional blogger and podcaster who has been featured online via feature articles with ScreenRant.Com, SavageScience.Com and provides ongoing entertainment review podcasts via The 2GuysTalking Podcast Network. As 1 of (a cast of characters at) 2GuysTalking, Mike continues to create cool opportunities for new podcasts on The 2GuysTalking Podcast Network, and is a graphic designer by trade.

When not dialoging or creating podcast shows about entertainment, Mike enjoys time with his Deaf wife Gloria, and their precocious 8-year-old daughter Jade - who clearly has the same ability to play with toys that Mike does.

Stay tuned for more great projects that will use Visual Thesaurus as a centerpiece and please do bring YOUR favorite vocabulary words to Mike's attention!
