  • Alban Peltier

    Lead Engineer, Podcasting Studio

    I am undeniably French, but I don't understand people who eat snails. I'm a sound guy doing an internship in the wizard station, I come from the west of France but I lived in Tahiti when I was old enough to be in nursery school. I'm 21, you could say I'm old enough to drink alcohol but in France we start having our first drops of champagne at 12 years old. I studied sound engineering in Biarritz, a city in the Basque country known for the beach and surfing. I completely agree with the philosophy of WZRD, eclecticism is the key to peace and the radio station is the figurehead of eclecticism in the Chicago audiovisual landscape. Regarding my hobbies, I played a little bass guitar, I'm trying to take up the piano and I played basketball with Victor Wembanyama when he was 5 ft 8 tall (at 9 years old)
