Meet The DJs
Kirsten
VP Programming/HOST
Raised in the picturesque town of Safety Harbor, Florida, Kirsten grew up in what could be the setting for Margaritaville with a lifelong passion for music, travel, sunshine and water. The irony is that Kirsten works so hard that she barely has time for Margaritas – along with hosting on Radio Margaritaville she is the VP or Programming as well as one of the (non-singing) voices of the Margaritaville Brand where her friendly voice can be heard on various Margaritaville products and resort locations!
Like many Parrotheads, JD's first Jimmy Buffett concert changed the course of his life. That night, Nov. 20, 1983 in JD's home town of Tallahassee, may be a slightly blurred memory, but he still has the tequila bottle that was consumed as a reminder. JD knew then that he wanted to entertain.
After working with kids and DJing in his hometown, JD moved to Orlando to continue his career. His talents soon reached every major Orlando theme park as a DJ, MC, and Host. In 2007, JD landed the perfect gig as host for SiriusXM’s Radio Margaritaville. When not broadcasting Live from the Orlando SiriusXM Parrot Perch, you will find him taking his show on the road in support of Margaritaville venues and Parrothead Clubs from Key West to California.
Born with wanderlust woven into her DNA, Savannah Buffett held a passport before she could walk and found herself backstage at rock concerts before she could talk. Growing up with her legendary father, Jimmy Buffett, fostered an affinity for adventure and water that she continues to embrace today, finding solace and joy in sailing, fishing, and surfing. She has served as a creative and musical consultant in realms ranging from A&R to event curation, working with clients such as Maroon 5 and the World Surf League. From hosting her own radio show, "The Savannah Daydreamin’ Radio Hour," on SiriusXM’s Radio Margaritaville, to exploring the Caribbean on her travel show "exPats," Savannah enjoys sharing her musical knowledge and passion for discovery with audiences far and wide. Among her achievements, Savannah holds her lifelong bond with her father as her most cherished treasure. From collaborating creatively to embarking on unforgettable adventures, their shared experiences have woven the fabric of her life with exploration, laughter, music, and magic. Savannah's current aspirations include earning her pilot's license, embarking on nautical adventures, crafting a collection of travel essays, and continuing to engage in the philanthropic efforts that honor her father's legacy. She currently resides in Miami, Florida, with her husband, Joshua, and their beloved fur baby, Kingston, always ready to embrace the next chapter and live every day of her life like a song.
Krystal King is your next store redneck born and raised in North Carolina! She moved to Nashville, TN to pursue a career as a country singer-songwriter along with her drummer husband (who she met in high school band camp) and her labradoodle fur baby "Bo Berry Biscuit."

A position which led her to further internship opportunities with Cumulus Radio Nashville and Performance Racing Network. While touring as a musician in Florida 2 years ago, Krystal discovered the Parrothead community and fell in love with the Party with a Purpose lifestyle. Her love for music, touring at the beach, and radio suddenly collided leading her to us here at Radio Margaritaville. Find out more about Krystal at KrystalKingMusic.com
Ryan Middledorf is a Virginia-born and Los Angeles-based comedian, podcaster and producer who was seven years old before he knew that anyone other than Jimmy Buffett made music (what a shock). In true Parakeet fashion, his first concert was a Buffett show and he hasn't looked back since. When he's not listening to Nautical Wheelers on repeat, he's learning how to make tiki drinks that some have described as "a little too tart" and "not half bad, better luck next time". He currently co-hosts the License to Chill Podcast with his Radio Margaritaville co-host, Patrick McDonald and has two sweet dogs (Bagels and Bodie) that interrupt almost every recording. Gotta' love 'em!
Patrick McDonald is host, writer and actor originally from Mansfield, Texas, and a graduate of Emerson College in Boston, MA. Along with Ryan Middledorf, Patrick co-hosts the License to Chill Podcast, and has been a Friday night host on SiriusXM’s Radio Margaritaville since 2021. A longtime comedian and improviser, Patrick has been performing comedy at hte UCB Theater in LA since 2014. In 2022, Patrick was the Creative Director of SMOSH, a legacy YouTube Channel with 25 million subscribers. Acting credits: Justice League: The Snyder Cut, Army of the Dead, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Patrick is the creator of “The Coronda Chronicles,” a popular mid-quarantine Instagram sitcom following the adventures of Patrick and a mannequin he was quarantining with, which was profiled in “Arts + Leisure.” His favorite vacation of all-time was a trip to the Canary Islands where him and his friends got pickpocketed on the beach but still ended up spinning it into the trip of a lifetime.
Sara is a Tallahassee Lassie and coincidentally went to the same high school as Radio Margaritaville DJ JD Spradlin. She moved to colder climes, but still prefers flip flops and the smell of sunscreen any day of the year. She hosted an Aspen Jimmy Buffett (as Freddie and the Fishsticks) concert and got back on the beach!
