MEDIA REVIEWS

Mickey Burns without question the most knowledgeable and prepared interviewer with an understanding of being factual without losing the ability to entertain his audience. In a word he’s Awesome!!! As is his book!!! Tony Orlando Singer & Entertainer

Mickey Burns has given us a wonderful insight into the lives of celebrities (myself proudly included), their trials and tribulations, and their hopes and fears. From The Projects To Profiles: A Memoir is also a deeply felt and personal memoir that provides the reader with a glimpse into the life of a man who never quits, and who always strives to achieve the highest goals, and the realization of ones dreams. It is a fascinating and inspiring read. Stacy Keach Actor

Mickey has interviewed me several times and I’ve found the experience very enjoyable and the atmosphere quite happy. His support crew like him very much and make all interviewees feel at home. Furthermore, he asked great questions and knows his stuff. He’s always well prepared…wonderful book! Don McLean Singer and Songwriter

Mickey Burns takes us on a fascinating and inspiring journey from his childhood through his accomplished broadcasting career. I’ve had the opportunity to interview Presidents, celebrities and many more. This is never an easy task. However, with his disarming personality, great intelligence and unforgettable charm, Mickey is able to bring out the very best in each and every one of his guests. His in-depth knowledge, research and preparedness never ceases to astound me. His book is a fantastic overview of an incredible and remarkable life. Rita Crosby Emmy-Winning TV Host & Best Selling Author
