Being part of the Legend team is like being part of a family. We want you to know about us just like we know each other. So on this page, find out about the personalities behind the voices on the World Wide Legend.

Tim Aune

Tim has always had an interest in radio and electronics. His enthusiasm began in school using low powered transmitters broadcasting to the neighborhood. He continued to do this at the school for the blind where he was a student as a teenager.

Following this, Tim did some radio work on a pirate radio station in South Minneapolis, followed by broadcasting for the radio station serving Mankato State College and then Kysm Radio in Mankato during the 60’s and 70’s.

Tim says:

“I have a lot of fun doing the show on the Legend and playing everyones requests.”

Don Coco

Don began his radio career in Boston in 1980 when he worked for a College station. He moved to California in 1984 and, two years later, he went to work for the Lighthouse For The Blind which is located in San Francisco. He used to do lots of travelling, interviewing famous people for the organisation’s broadcast service.

In 1995, He moved with his wife Julie to Sacramento where they still live. He became involved with Internet radio in 1999 and has never looked back since!

Don says:

"I love presenting my show on The Legend. It gives me the chance to play music particularly from the 50's and 60's which I really enjoy doing and I especially like getting requests and dedications from the listeners!"

Bruce Toews

Bruce's love affair with radio began when he was three years old. His goal was to host his own radio show, a dream he partially realized in 1991 when he guest-hosted for five episodes of a comedy variety show on CITI FM in Winnipeg, Canada. He has had two songs which he recorded played on the Dr. Demento show.

Since 2004, he has been realizing his lifelong dream by hosting radio programs on the Internet.

Bruce says:

"Working with the incredible DJ's on the legend, being a part of this great team, is allowing me to do what I have always wanted to do, and The Legend is a marvelous place to be allowed to do it."

Jonathan Mosen

Jonathan began being heard on New Zealand radio from the age of 4, when he began regular appearances on Radio I in Auckland.

After having grown up on the radio, Jonathan established a full-power, short-term radio station at the school for the blind, to prove to people in the radio industry that blindness was no barrier to broadcasting. The strategy worked, and he made many useful contacts in radio through this venture.

Jonathan had full-time work in radio by the time he was 20. He worked in New Zealand's largest radio market for several years, in the early days juggling a full time university schedule with his full-tine radio job. He presented a range of current affairs, music, and phone-in programs.

In 1999, Jonathan established ACB radio, which he directed for its first four years, during which it experienced phenomenal growth.

He has established and directed a number of low power, community radio stations even when not working in broadcasting full-time.

Jonathan has a large music collection, and is in particular a fan of the Beatles. He owns many rare Beatles books and albums.

The Mosen Explosion has been heard on various stations since 2002, and came to The Legend in April 2009.

Jonathan says

"the era on which The Legend concentrates is my favourite musical period, and I enjoy playing the music and interacting with listeners."

Brian Hartgen

From a very young age, Brian has always loved both music and radio. He remembers listening to the BBC charts in the early 70’s together with documentaries concerning music artists and groups. It was London’s Capital Radio which introduced him to music of the 50’s and 60’s.

Brian particularly enjoys audio production and, again from a young age, has used tape and later digital technology to edit and mix items together.

Brian says:

“Although I have carried out a lot of audio production work over many years I have never produced a radio programme until this year. I have fun putting it together and playing great oldies and the interaction with the listeners through Email and Twitter is fantastic! Thanks to Bill and his team for making it all possible!”

Terry Clasper

Terry is totally Blind and has been passionate about radio almost since the day he was born - yes radio actually did exist then.

He grew up in the 60’s and 70’s living around the UK where pirate radio could be heard as well as radio produced by the BBC and then in the 70’s British commercial radio.

Whilst at school all Terry ever wanted to do was be on the radio. He remembers teaching himself to cue up a record on an old radiogram at home, then sitting for hours just introducing songs to himself, and talking whilst he swapped records over.

Terry's first radio opportunity came in 1975, when he visited a garden party at a hospital close to where he went to school in Liverpool.
The entertainment was provided by the Hospital Radio Station, and he said to the presenter “I fancy playing some songs like you are is that possible?”and so his love of radio presenting started.

Terry says:

“The great thing about being on the legend is the listener interaction, you feel like you are watching a big conversation being in the privileged position of responding to it adding a musical tier to the interaction. It feels like you’re in the middle of something positively friendly both in terms of the stations co-presenters and of course most importantly the listeners.
And of course making it even better is the music: Those forgotten favourites I grew up with and now am in the privileged position of being able to share with you"!
