The Story Behind the Mic

From the Courtroom to the Kingdom

Lou Mongello’s story is one of the most compelling in independent media — a lawyer who walked away from it all to follow his passion for Disney.

In 2003, he launched what would become WDW Radio as a way to share his love for the parks. Within a few years, the podcast had grown into one of the most recognized Disney media brands in the world.
