Disney Podcast Updates, June 1-15, 2010

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the next installment of updates! I've knocked out a month in the past 4 days, so that's progress, isn't it? Lots of stuff on the World of Color show at Disneyland as well as Summer NighTastic at WDW. Also, the Mouse Lounge is back! Over 60 shows are chronicled in this round of updates, with over 200 still in the hopper to get through! Still, the goal is to be nearly caught up so I can go to "real time" by late August.

 
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 also does great updates that are more current and hit some different shows over on the Disney Blog. Be sure to check both of these guys' work out!

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

It's good to actually see a more thoughtful, mature, and civil method of disagreeing with someone. Others can learn from this IMHO, though they probably won't take the time to do so. I did read some of the fireworks as they were happening over on Facebook and thought that the attacks (not by you…towards you and the other person involved) were unwarranted…it's the right of the listener/supporter to do what he/she wants.) Time: 22:47

While going through audio archives, I found an evening meandering out at Tokyo DisneySEA in temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. What better way to kill the heat? This is quite the detailed meandering through the most amazing Disney park on Earth. I call out almost everything I'm seeing in great depth and capture much of the aural ambiance that is DisneySEA. Highlights include: -The Resort Liner; -Hotel Hightower of Terror; -20,000 Under the Leagues ;) (I think my brain was frozen); -Journey to the Center of the Earth. Have fun and Enjoy! Meander On! (Mush: when Jeff suggests headphones, you're better off listening to him, especially when he's in Tokyo. His BravisSEAmo audio from a while back is still one of my favorites.) Time: 1:20:53

Whether you were there for some or all of the event, or think you may want to join us for a future broadcast, it's a fun look back on a memorable weekend.

This year's event will celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back," which first appeared in theaters May 21, 1980.

Disney Podcast Updates, May 16-31, 2010



 
Well, at least I made a dent in my 12.5 days' worth of backlogged episodes…and I'm insane enough to actually think of adding more shows! I'm still over 2 months behind, but I've come up with a 2 week plan to hopefully get completely caught up and current on these updates. As always, there are some amazing shows in here, including an earworm song courtesy of the Park Hoppin' Party crew, and one of the best interviews I've heard on a show as Jonathan and Bryan have Jodi Benson on their show.

 
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. For show updates that are from this century, check out the Disney Blog as Dis_Pod_Review also does these.

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

 

 

    • 05/21/10 – Episode 162, This week we had to alter our original plans for this week's show a bit because of some last minute things that got in the way of our recording schedule. But don't worry...we've decided to bring you audio from Epcot's Honey I Shrunk the Audience attraction in honor of its temporary closing to make way for Captain EO which will be returning soon. So we'll return to our regularly scheduled programming next week...But for now enjoy some audio from the complete Honey I Shrunk the Audience. Time: 29:56
