Michael Rivero & Johnny Vedmore on The Jason Bermas Show - 09 July 2024

GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Michael Rivero is the host of the radio show “What Really Happened,” which he launched in 1993 following the controversy surrounding Vince Foster’s death.

Rivero’s career has been diverse and fascinating.

Born and raised in New England’s farming country, he began as a child actor but left film work after high school to pursue a career in science.

He worked for NASA on significant projects like Viking and Voyager.

However, following the post-Apollo downturn in the aerospace industry, Rivero returned to film work, coinciding with Hollywood’s burgeoning use of computers for visual effects—a field where his skills were in high demand.

Rivero also has a background as a professional stage magician, which he used to pay for college.

This experience gave him a unique perspective on audience perception, which he later applied to his visual effects designs.

His radio show covers a wide range of topics, often delving into controversial and critical views on current events and historical incidents.
