Over 100 updates!!!
Okay, I cheated…I had to.
What you'll see here is mostly updates from the show descriptions. I was so far behind that I realized that I'd never get caught up if I listened to each one and wrote my own recap for every show. The logjam of shows was making it nearly impossible to get them on the iPod (I had over 36 hours of new material on iTunes). While I may have to do this again on occasion during the school year, I hope that this will catch me up to the point where I won't have to. I just about decided to just put the updates on hiatus, but doing this took relatively little time (no, I didn't listen to all of the shows…I probably got to less than 50% of them if I had to be honest). I added Mouse Magic HD to the master list (that was the new one that nobody found) as well as a couple of feeds to the WTTM entry (the HD vidcast feed and Patrick Hurd's personal feed for WTTM).
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.
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.
Any and all comments are welcomed! Also, if you know of another podcast that fits here, let me know.

- 10/4/09 – Nathan Rose and Jim Hill are back this week discussing the shakeup happening at the Walt Disney Studios, and the future of the famous division of the Disney Company. Time: 31:38
- 10/11/09 - On this week's show, Nathan Rose and Jim Hill explore The "New" Disney...the Disney that is represented by Rich Ross, who is replacing Dick Cook, signing the deal to acquire Marvel, as well as runs shows like "The Secret Life of the American Teenager", on ABC Family. It moves into family-friendly horror films like "Trollhunters" with the creation of Disney Double Dare You, as well as the new Epic Mickey steam punk game for WII. How are the hardcore fans going to handle all of this radical change? More importantly, how do all of these recent developments mirror what happened back in 1984 when Eisner, Wells, and Katzenberg came on board at Disney and reawakened the sleeping kingdom. Time: 27:30

- 10/12/09 – Episode 97, Join myself and Superdry as we make our way through the streets of Hong Kong and onto the metro system headed to Sunny Bay Station which connects to the Hong Kong Disneyland line. The one and only stop, of course, is Hong Kong Disneyland. Afterwards, I make my exciting steps onto property thus marking the end to my Disney Park World Tour. Looking back, I visited all 11 of the Disney Parks across the world in under a year's time. Here is a rundown of that busy year of travel: May 08 - Disneyland (2 parks); July 08 - Tokyo Disney (2 Parks); Sept 08 - WDW (4 Parks); Oct 08 - Disneyland Paris (2 Parks); Dec 08 – WDW; Jan 09 – WDW; April 09 - Tokyo; Disney / *Hong Kong Disneyland* So there you have it. All Disney parks on Earth in less than 12 months. It's far from an impossible feat but, dare I say, a dream come true for a Disney park fan *cough* dork. Hong Kong Disneyland is a small park which most would consider a "half day" park attraction wise. What it lacks in the realm of attractions, it makes things up with some of the most beautifully landscaped grounds and surroundings. The spit and polish witnessed at the park itself is just as impressive as the Tokyo Disney Resort. However, the "newness" of this park mixed with the culture leaves things feeling a little sterile, empty, and there is much room (literally) for improvement. During this podcast you will experience most of the park's attractions with us, STORIES ABOUT HOOKERS, an edited portion of their daytime parade called Disney on Parade, and various other Meanderings. It's most interesting to spend an entire day Meandering with us at this somewhat odd Disney Park. It was an interesting experience which left a handful of things to be desired. Overall, I do have high hopes for this Disney destination in the future. It's a promising Disney park located in one of the most amazing destinations in the East. Got ya wondering about the hookers, don't I? LOL Time: 2:04:51

During this podcast you will experience most of the park's attractions with us, STORIES ABOUT HOOKERS, an edited portion of their daytime parade called Disney on Parade, and various other Meanderings. It's most interesting to spend an entire day Meandering with us at this somewhat odd Disney Park. It was an interesting experience which left a handful of things to be desired. Overall, I do have high hopes for this Disney destination in the future. It's a promising Disney park located in one of the most amazing destinations in the East. Got ya wondering about the hookers, don't I? LOL Time: 2:04:51

We'll also look at how Disney is moving forward online, before looking at two trains – one that's slow and relaxing, and one that may be coming that's quite the opposite. This past weekend in Walt Disney World was fun and exciting for many, as Guests from around the world came to participate in one or more special events. In this week's roundtable, we'll look at the WDWRadio private event at the Adventurers Club, our walk around and review of Epcot's International Food & Wine Festival, the Expedition Everest Challenge race and more.

- 10/11/09 – Episode 140, We'll start off this week's show with some news and some rumors coming from Walt Disney World, including the introduction of a new ride, a new tour and a new princess. With the recent opening of the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, and some recent reminiscing about the extinct Walt Disney Story on Main Street, USA, the importance of Walt Disney, the man came up, especially in relation to the Disney parks. And while there are many references to him throughout Walt Disney World, many people unfortunately overlook an attraction that is much more than an interactive museum, as Walt Disney: One Man's Dream is a tribute to the man who started it all, and an inspiration to future innovators. This week, friend and Disney historian Jim Korkis joins me from Disney's Hollywood Studios as we take a tour through and detailed look at this attraction filled with hidden treasures. Time: 1:49:35

- 10/19/09 – Episode 141, Walt Disney World is filled with some incredible, unique dining experiences, and this week, we visit Mexico's San Angel Inn, where the atmosphere is as wonderful as the cuisine. Modeled after a Mexican hacienda dating back to 1692, the restaurant sits in perpetual twilight on the banks of a river, across from a Mayan pyramid and ruins, and features authentic dishes evocative of traditional Mexican fare. This week, we offer a live review from inside the restaurant as we enjoy some of the Inn's appetizers, main courses, and of course, desserts, as our serve explains every aspect of the meal, and the culture to us along the way. It's a fun segment that I think will not only make you hungry, but will make you want to visit the restaurant and pavilion as well. This week's show is a little shorter than usual due to my schedule and some other projects I'm working that I'm going to share with you soon, but I'm also releasing a number of new videos as well, including an interview with a true Walt Disney World icon. At Disney's Beach Club Resort, Art Lark, known affectionately to guests from around the world simply as "Art the Greeter," has been a fixture at the resort for years. And on one of his final days at the resort before retirement, I had a chance to talk with Art about his experiences, and what this role, and the Guests, have meant to him. I'll also have more videos from Disney's D23Expo, and a few other surprises as well, so stay tuned! I'll announce a new trivia contest, and give some additional information about upcoming events before playing more of your voicemails at the end of the show. Time: 47:42
