Disney Podcast Updates, June 16-30, 2010



 
Another set of 60+ updates are here for your enjoyment/perusal/searching. Some of the highlights in here include Aaron's finale of the Top 100 Disney Songs on Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Pod, a couple of 1964 World's Fair entries, great video from the Nemo subs, the farewell of Tom Corless from the Disney Pincast, and much, much more!

 
If you are interested in listening to any of these episodes, I have links to subscribe for most of these shows in my post HERE. Also, if you're willing, you can help these shows out by posting a review over on iTunes. The more they get, the higher up they appear on searches. If you do start listening to a podcast as a result of what you've seen on here, please let the podcasters know!

 
As always, please note that this again is not a comprehensive list of the Disney Podcasts that are out there. Mike Hamilton has created Disneypodcastdirectory.net, which he periodically updates with new podcasts and removes dead casts. He also has the automated RSS (historical) feeds of the podcasts. This is more of a cross-section of what is currently being talked about…perhaps something may sound interesting, and you'll subscribe to listen to that topic. Shawn Rees over at the Disney Blog also has a revolving list of updates that are more current than these (I'm getting caught up, though!)

 
Any and all comments are welcomed! Also, if you know of another podcast that fits here, let me know.

After talking about The Incredibles, they celebrate Independence Day here in the United States with a look at the Hall of Presidents attraction and play their recording from their trip to Walt Disney World in May. They wrap up the show with some listener feedback (Mush: Pooooooooooor Mortis…that's cruel to do to anyone, even if it is Mortis. All joking aside, as a veteran, thanks for the HOP audio…that attraction doesn't get a lot of attention). Time: 1:03:06


    • 06/24/10 – Episode 44, Although we usually bring you two segments, we push the boat out this week and bring you three!

Time: 6:08
    • 06/22/10 – Video Blog 48, Join Will, Shannon and a spaced-out Princess Peanut on a San Francisco public bus after a full, fun day exploring San Francisco.

    • 06/24/10 – Episode 77, On this episode of the Magic Never Ends Podcast, join Will, Shannon and Princess Peanut for Part 2 of their Disneyland escapades.

    • 06/20/10 – Episode 167, In this episode we read a couple of e-mails, one of which asks us to discuss what we consider to be some of Disneyland's hidden gems. We make a fairly decent effort before we get too far off into the weeds. Time: 1:55:02
    • 06/27/10 – Episode 168, In a show that takes forever to get rolling, your hosts talk about myriad subjects. Mostly related to Disney. Time: 1:31:09

Time: 2:35:23


    • 06/28/10 – We sit down and review our latest trip to Walt Disney World and review Pixar's newest movie Toy Story 3. (Mush: TS3 is technically not a classic, but we'll let it slide since it was so good!) Time: 46:13


    • 06/27/10 – Episode 79, A very different show, with a very special guest and a VERY BIG surprise. (Mush: I haven't had the chance to hear this one…the description is a great teaser, dang it! Luckily I lurk on the WTTM forums, and I've got Jonathan friended up over on FB…CONGRATS on the engagement!!!) Time: 1:04:10


    • 06/19/10 – Episode 256, I seem to have this problem with dates... but no matter.  This week, we start with a little feedback from you, our faithful listeners!  Then, we share our two cents on Toy Story 3 (don't worry, it's spoiler-free), and share your opinions as well.  ¡Hay un amigo en mí! Time: 1:05:32
    • 06/26/10 – Episode 257, This week, after a little feedback about coffee pots and movies starring toys, we've got a little news from WDW regarding the posh side of life... live on property for a "small" sum of money, and treat your pets to a pampered vacation.  Then, we begin our journey through the Pixar library with "A Tribute to All Film Studios, But Mostly Pixar."  Since all their films are great, we get to the nitty gritty of what makes them great and give them a score, thus scientifically creating the ultimate "Best Pixar Film" list. (Mush: this topic is like "Disney, Indiana" meets "WDWNT"…interesting news segment, too.) Time: 1:08:44


    • 06/23/10 – Season 4, Episode 6, In this episode, the Mouse Lounge tumbles down the rabbit hole. Each week, in From the Vault we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short, television or radio program, or Disneyland Record.  This week Walt introduces the tale of Alice in Wonderland, and then told on Disneyland Records ST-3909, the Magic Window Series!  Listen to the first half in the podcast, then log in to the multimedia section of mouselounge.com to download the second half. From the Walt Disney Archives:  Walt gives a tour of the Disney Studios to Winston Hibler under the auspices of being during production of Alice in Wonderland.  While purely a promotional puff piece it is nonetheless worthy of playback for its nostalgia value. Each week we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West. A year before the first major expansion of Disneyland that was to add the Matterhorn, Monorail, and subs, on June 14, 1958, Alice in Wonderland, the attraction opened.  Adjacent to The Mad Tea Party and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, this dark ride has always been exclusive to Disneyland. We'll close this week's show with a musical excerpt and live performance, both from Disneyland. Lifted from the soundtrack of the hopefully temporarily defunct Parade of Dreams, have a listen to the Alice Unit.  Then have a seat in front of the old upright on Coke Corner as Alice and the Mad Hatter do their level best to organize the chairs for a mad tea party! (Mush: Loved the show! The Mad Hatter was amazing at the improv at the end). Time: 1:37:40


    • 06/16/10 – Episode 410, Steven Ng joined Mark and Mike to discuss the World of Color premiere press event at Disney California Adventure park. Time: 1:06:48

    • 06/29/10 – Episode 57, Welcome to the Northern Mouse Podcast Episode 57 with your hosts Carlos, Kevin and Robb. Robb and I are back this week with the third episode of Running to the Magic we give you tips for beating the heat this summer. (Mush: good info for those training for the half- and full marathon!) We have our first campfire chat this week where we look at the quick service dining plan and how to get the most value from it. Then we go to part four of around the world in a day. Today we'll be in Canada and the US for some Off Kilter, Fife and Drum corps second show I caught this day and then to the Voices of Liberty and American adventure.  Thanks to everyone for your feedback and e-mails they really do mean a lot so please keep them coming. I especially want to hear from you if you are following the Running to the Magic segments. I've only had a few requests for access to the free training calendar in Google. Robb and I want to make sure that the segments we are bringing you are of value so please email us and just let us know whether to keep them going or not. And don't forget that we are back into camping season so campfire chat's are up and running send in your suggestions for the campfire chat all suggestions whether used or not will go into the magic hat and a winner will be picked at random during our last camping weekend we haven't had many and any suggestions would be appreciated. Use campfire chat in the subject line.  (Mush: I'm really enjoying the "Around the World in a Day" segments…looking forward to the next installment). Time: 2:02:09


    • 06/17/10 – Episode 66, Gordon takes a bike ride--again--and talks about his body image, the importance of training the mind to let the body excel, and he babbles a LOT!

    • 06/24/10 – Episode 67, Gordon doesn't talk a lot about running. He discusses the nature of childhood and the bittersweet nature of being a parent. He talks about HIS LIFE. All this in light of viewing Toy Story 3 over the weekend. He gets a great voice mail from Carrie R. And he explains his new intro. (I'll admit that I was bawling my eyes out while listening to this one. My boys are only 7 and 5, but listening to this made me take a step back and look at where they are at in their lives.) Time: 57:40


    • 06/22/10 – Episode 109, It's all about TS3! The Cat #1 family absolutely loved Toy Story 3. So not only does The Watchamacallit appear on this show, but so does Jennifer's husband! Time: 41:26

    • 06/22/10 – Episode 48, Mr. Frank from Mr. Frank's Wild Ride joins Shawn this week to read iTunes reviews (Mush: I know it's easier said than done, but do what you can to ignore the blatantly negative reviews that are nothing more than vendettas or spewing. As Frank said, a negative one can still be good if it's constructive). Time: 1:00:27
    • 06/29/10 – Episode 49, It's WaltCast's one year anniversary show this week. (Mush: Congrats!!! I know there have been ups and downs. Keep getting the interviews you've been getting, and your subscriber numbers will continue to climb quickly!). Time: 25:11


    • 06/16/10 – Episode 148, Welcome to a very special edition of the WDW News Today Podcast and the Disneyland News Today Podcast. I am you host Tom Corless, and I'll be taking you on a coast-to-coast adventure from the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida to the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. The reason? To cover all the excitement of the bi-coastal seasonal campaign known as Disney's Summer Nightastic. To start our trip, Banks Lee and Brandon Struve will help me review the Walt Disney World offerings taking place between June 6th and August 14th. We'll follow that up with some binaural audio of the Main Street Electrical Parade at the Magic Kingdom and an amusing trip aboard the recently enhanced Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We'll then head west to the Disneyland Resort where Chris Lastrapes, Conner Purzycki, and Sean Dickey will help me re-cap the California offerings you can catch between June 11th and August 29th, including the new nighttime spectacular at Disney California Adventure: World of Color. Our colorful coverage doesn't stop there, as we then will feature binaural audio of the opening ceremony and premiere performance of the show, some source audio of the entire World of Color spectacular, and interviews with three individuals who were instrumental in the creation of this new nighttime masterpiece. So let's not waste another moment, it's time to dive into Summer Nightastic for a podcast that will have you saying "Let's Go To Disney's Summer Nightastic". Time: 3:35:06
    • 06/27/10 – Episode 149, To kick off this week's show, we have your Walt Disney World Resort News and Rumor Report. In this week's report, we'll be discussing some new details on two exciting upcoming Walt Disney World attractions, Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid and Star Tours II, among a number of topics. Following the news, we have a very special presentation. Since we had some technical issues this week and couldn't get our second segment done, we're going to give you a chance to catch an episode of our new late night talk show, "See Ya Real Later" with Tom Corless. Hopefully, we'll be able to persuade a you to stay up with us on select nights this summer for our most ambitious project yet after you have a listen to exactly what we've been up to. All this and much more Walt Disney World information and fun awaits you on this week's WDW News Today Podcast. Time: 1:57:45

Special guests, surprising moments, and more make up one of the most memorable episodes of the show ever!!! It all begins with "WDWNT at 150: A Magical, Musical Look Back". The greatest moments in the history of the WDW News Today Podcast have been assembled into a single montage of the people, moments, and insanity that have made WDWNT what it is today. The fun continues with our "Virtual Red Carpet Special". Banks Lee and Brandon Struve interview guests as they arrive for the WDW News Today Podcast Awards (and buy time as the show is delayed due to technical difficulties).

Whether you are a parent or child looking to find new, creative ways to make lasting memories, there's something here for everyone. (Mush: between this show and Gordon's show, I cried more listening to Disney podcasts than I did as a newborn). Time: 59:30
    • 06/27/10 – Episode 176, This week, we're going to take a very detailed look at one of Walt Disney World's classic, opening day attractions. One that is significant not just because of its rich history, but because of its importance in the history of the Disney parks, personal connection to Walt Disney, and stories behind the stories that play a role in its inclusion at the heart of the Magic Kingdom. And with dramatic changes coming to Fantasyland, and a minor change to this attraction itself, it's a great time to take a look with Jim Korkis at the attraction that, to many, will always be known as Cinderella's Golden Carrousel. (Another home run show with Jim's wealth of knowledge). Time: 1:07:38

With kids, DHS was our second-favorite park); what the heck Tentfest and the Reunion are; getting married at Yacht & Beach; trending airfare; attractions that either require a chiropractor visit or fix an aching back, kids on planes, and more! One of the funnier moments occurred when Scopa was talking about the airfare and mentioned that they should do a show about that. Episode 721 on May 17th was devoted to that topic, and Scopa was on the show (Sorry, Mike…it was too funny not to mention it). Time: 33:06
    • 06/18/10 – Episode 735, Today, the panel discusses some of the attractions that were added for "The Happiest Celebration On Earth", and if they still hold up 5 years later. Time: 28:17

Time: 33:37


    • 06/25/10 – Episode Matt and Nate return from a short hiatus to revisit their series on Walt Disney and the 1964 World's Fair.  In this episode we explore probably the least known Disney created attraction at the fair; The Magic Skyway.  Sponsored by the Ford Motor Co, this attraction gave guests a look at the history of our planet using the wheel as a catalyst for advancement.  The ride system itself was a breakthrough on its own as Disney helped to create its prototype for the Omnimover, which would prove to be the dominant design in vehicle propulsion in Disney attraction over the next few decades.  While the attraction itself is unknown to most Disney fans, the legacy that it provided is enormous; not only in the ride design but in the show elements and style of presentation as well.  Attractions like World of Motion, The Universe of Energy, The Primeval World Diorama, Spaceship Earth, The Peoplemover and Horizons all owe a debt of gratitude to The Magic Skyway. Also discussed on the show is the 20th anniversary of the film, Dick Tracy, and our thoughts on a specific element to the movies 1990 release. Time: 1:07:38


    • 06/16/10 – Special Episode, The Sorcerer's Apprentice - Join Jerry Bruckheimer (producer), Jon Turteltaub (director), Nicolas Cage (actor, "Balthazar Blake"), Jay Baruchel (actor, "Dave Stutler"), Teresa Palmer (actress, "Becky") live on the Esplanade stage to present an exclusive look at The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Dave (Jay Baruchel) is just an average college student, or so it appears, until the sorcerer Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) recruits him as his reluctant protege.

    • 06/23/10 – Episode 54,  ZADDP's countdown of the Top 100 Disney Songs concludes with the fourth and final set of 25! Buckle in for a long haul -- it's a LONG show, but these songs deserve a little more time and attention. As always, there's plenty of history and analysis for each song. Can you guess which one will get the #1 spot? Thanks for joining me in this epic countdown. It's been a blast. Please share your feedback and feel free to post your own Top 25 list (or Top 100 if you're brave) on the Disney Podcast Network discussion forum. I'd love to see them! (Mush: LOVED it!!! Every time I'd hear a song, I'd usually yell at the iPod, wondering what could beat it. I completely blanked out on what #1 could be (I blame the fake #1 LMAO!). Also, there was some really good info that went with the song…I learned a lot from the additional material – especially The Rainbow Connection. Wow…I haven't heard that song for at least 20-something years, yet I was still able to sing along. Note to readers – if you haven't followed this list, don't listen to this one yet. Go back a few episodes and start at 100…you'll be glad you did. Great job on the countdown, Aaron!). Time: 2:47:14
