I am so excited to have WDW Radio’s Lou Mogello on Dreamers Podcast finally! He is originally from my home state of New Jersey, and decided that once he was traveling back and forth to Disney World six times a year, that it was time to move to Orlando, Florida. Leaving behind his career as a lawyer, and his own side tech company.

After eight years of WDW Radio (congrats Lou on your recent anniversary)

A social media pioneer and influencer, Lou connects with his loyal audiences (he prefers “friends”) via a variety of online social networks, and also hosts monthly meet-ups in Walt Disney World and around the country. As one of the leading authorities on Disney, podcasting and new media, Lou is frequently interviewed by the media for expert perspective and analysis.
