Mike Mayo

Work:

At various times I've been an English teacher, waterfront director, librarian and editorial writer; also a producer and film reviewer for public radio. Most of my work has been in newspapers (with the occasional magazine piece and TV work) reviewing films and interviewing people in the entertainment business. My video writing continues on the 99Lives website as senior writer and columnist.
