Sorcerer Radio has been the internet's premier fan-run Disney radio station for the past 11 years but who are the voices behind your favorite Disney programs? Here's a look at some of the talent behind the microphone and the Mickey ears!
Aljon Go - Air-talent/Station Manager
Host of "WDW Tiki Room - The Show About All Things Disney" - Friday 8 a.m./e
As a child Aljon's family encouraged his love of music and drawing. Eventually it paid off in winning several art and music awards including a Country Music Hall of Fame's Junior Songwriting Award at the age of 13. While at college he taught music while working at several of the top Nashville radio stations playing rock and top-40 music on WKDF, WPRT and WBUZ
being the first to play artists like Kings of Leon, Framing Hanley and Paramore. In the early 2000's Aljon was touring world-wide playing guitar with his band Mink performing with acts like Lit, English Beat and Better than Ezra. The band also did several USO/AFE tours being first American rock band to play for American troops in Afghanistan post 9/11 .
These days Aljon still plays guitar and does voiceovers for radio, television and podcasts. He also is the co-founder and co-host of the
"WDW After Dark" webcast and shares his love for geek culture at

Jeff Davis - Air-talent, News Director
Host of DW:60, Thursday 8 a.m./e
Jeff started his career in radio at the age of 16 after spending years watching his father and listening to him on the airwaves in New York City, taking notes and learning the business. Jeff then started like most DJ's do, doing overnights on the weekends and helping any way he could. By the time he was 17, Jeff had moved to the nighttime position during the week at KIXB playing country music.
As time went on, he was the morning show host at rock station KAGL, and then another country station doing the midday show at KBYB. But you can't take the Disney magic out of someone, and now Jeff is playing the music that he loves best, and that's from the Walt Disney World Resort on
Sorcerer Radio. Jeff is also the co-founder and co-host of the
"WDW After Dark" webcast. Learn more about Jeff on his Sorcerer Radio show page.
Kristen Hoetzel - Air-talent, Promotions, Moderator
Host of "WDW Tiki Room - The Show About All Things Disney" - Friday 8 a.m./e

Eric Allen - Air-talent, Moderator, Graphic Artist
Host of "SorCom Review" - Tuesday 8 a.m./e
Eric has worn many hats over the years – college radio DJ, comic book artist, print media manager, failed stand-up comedian, and administrative assistant among others – but while few if any of these hats have had actual Mickey ears attached they've never been far away in spirit. He was first introduced to the magic of Walt Disney World when his parents took him during the mid-70s. A fan of sci-fi/space/fantasy ever since being glued to the TV as an infant when Neil Armstrong took his “one giant leap for mankind,” Walt's visions of the future as manifested in areas like Tomorrowland and Future World found a welcome home in his own imagination. Eric is also host of Sorcerer Radio's
SorCom Review.
Eric is also known as the resident gamer hosting a monthly segment on the
WDW Tiki Room called "Bonus Levels" which reviews the latest Disney, Marvel and Star Wars video games. He is also a regular panelist on the
WDW After Dark webcast. Learn more about Eric and get his Twitter and Facebook links on his

Sorcerer - Station Owner/Programmer
Sorcerer's love for Disney was instilled in him at an early age by his grandfather. Trips to the Contemporary resort were just the beginning. Sorcerer was always encouraged as a child to be creative and to pursue creativity at any cost. When he was in high school, he rekindled his love for Disney with two trips with his high school band. The two things that Sorcerer loved in life came together into one neat little package, music and Disney. And what better way to move forward with this love, than a few years after those trips, to open a website and station dedicated to his love for Disney and Music.
Today, Sorcerer is focused on raising his kids the way he was raised. To pursue your dreams at any cost. Disney trips are the norm for the Sorcerer clan and the lil Sorcerer's are sure to get enough Disney magic to spur some creativity. On the side, Sorcerer still pursues his love for music with his Disney remixes (My Disney Cup and Beverly) and other music creations outside of the Disney realm. Follow Sorcerer Radio on
