The MouseStation Crew

Mike Demopoulos & Mark Goldhaber - Co-Hosts

Proving that you can never tell when or where a Disney-inspired friendship could start, Mike and Mark met at a screening of "Dream On Silly Dreamer" in Minneapolis the afternoon before Disney's annual shareholder meeting in February, 2005. Mark was there to review the film for MousePlanet.com and prepare to cover the next day's meeting. Mike is a Minnesota native, and was there as a Disney fan. He would be leaving the next day for a family trip to Walt Disney World, and would interview for the Walt Disney World College Program immediately upon his return.

Mike would eventually get accepted into the college program, and was very successful in his assignment at Disney's Pop Century Resort. He decided to see what the attractions jobs were about and managed to win a position on the Test & Adjust team for Expedition Everest. After deciding that working in attractions was not for him, Mike took his leave of Walt Disney World for the time being. He's now back in Minnesota, still loving the Disney Magic.

Mark started writing feature articles for MousePlanet in March 2003 and took on the weekly Walt Disney World Park Updates in September 2003. He's now written over 300 articles for the site, and continues his never-ending quest to find a way to work 24 hours a day without the need for sleep. He's still living and working in upstate New York, much too far from Walt Disney World.

Mike & Mark started the Magical Moment Podcast in August, 2006, and recorded 21 shows before closing up shop at the end of December, 2006, to begin the MouseStation podcast.

Andrew Rich - Disneyland News and This Week on MousePlanet

Andrew has been with MousePlanet since the very beginning, mostly working behind the scenes to keep everything running.

Steven Ng - Audio Engineer and Sound Editor

Steven is a web applications programmer. He is also a post production engineer with GigaVox Media, one of the first podcast networks. He worked in the aerospace industry until a trip to Walt Disney World in 1995 inspired him to head into the consumer electronics industry where he worked on mobile technologies like the Magic Link Mobile Communicator and the Palm Handheld Computer.
