Need a musical break from the headlines? You can now hear the very best of Mike Casey daily on 96.9 the Cloud.
Our listeners know the ever so familiar and friendly voice of Mike Casey very well.
For over a decade Mike greeted morning radio audiences on 99.5 the Mountain with great classic rock and special features like Resurrection Jukebox and Barrel of Monkeys.
Cloud Classic’s are sponsored by Ruff’s BBQ Shoppe in Applewood.
Just in time for spring, Mike’s pick of the month is this new feature with our old friends The Beach Boys.
As we entered the new year Mike featured a song recorded by Billy Joel to increase awareness and highlight the Cloud’s support of The Second Wind Fund in Colorado.
Mikes Beatle podcast is a playful one.
Most of us know all about the most famous four bandmates called the Beatles. What you might not know is the story behind a simple classic penned and inspired by Ringo Starr.
This months featured Cloud Classic is from the Beatles last studio album. Abbey Road was recorded mostly in 1969, but was not released until 1970.
Within the masterworks of Here Comes the Sun, Come Together and Something (perhaps the most moving love song ever recorded) is Octopus Garden.
At less than 3 minutes the songs inspiration is as playful as the lyric itself.
One of our newest podcast highlights Mike’s musical history wisdom. Steely Dan has been a mystery to some and a classic rock-jazz favorite to many.
In our most listened to podcast you can learn all about the classic inspiration of Robbie Robertson and the story behind the iconic song: The Weight.
We suggest you listen to the Podcast first and then enjoy the magic of the video.
Cloud Classics are an expanded “about the music” feature that is a perfect outlet for Mike’s creative writing and delivery.
Combined with the Clouds unique blend of new music discovery and adult rock radio?
Let’s just say we are moving mountains to make the Cloud better by the day.
Here is a complete collection of Cloud Classic On-Demand from Mike’s Collection brought to you by Ruff’s BBQ in Applewood.
We are very proud of the company we keep in the Cloud and very grateful to our title advertising sponsors at Ruff’s BBQ Shoppe in Applewood.
If you’re in the market for a Big Green Egg, Traeger, Green Mountain and now Napoleon Gas Grills: Ruff’s is your first stop in Colorado.

November 12, 2020 at 10:51 amI enjoyed listening to Mike Casey’in the mornings for over a decade. He provides interesting facts about the music and an intelligent point of view on current events. Is Mike a radio host? Lately, I’ve been listening to commercial free music, but I’m open to listening to radio with Mike Casey.

February 14, 2021 at 3:36 pmI just happened to run across this station, 96.9 Cloud Classics, recently and now can’t bring myself to move the dial to anything else. Classics yes, of course, but not the same old stuff you always hear. I love the music!

April 14, 2021 at 10:58 pmI’m so glad to be able to stream 96.9 and Mike Casey from my home in Manitouwadge, Ontario, Canada. I have always been a fan of Mike Casey. You see, I have known him since he became one of my brother’s best friends around the tender age of 9 or 10.
Now that I do volunteer work out of my home, I can stream 96.9 all the time and hear Mike and remember the great times we had when he would be hanging out our home.
What a wonderful addition to your station. Thank you for giving me a place to go and enjoy the classics being played by such a wonderful young man.
