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

You've heard Jodi portray Ariel in Disney's theatrical releases, television shows, video games, and even the attractions in the parks not to mention countless merchandise sold in stores worldwide.

Disney Podcast Updates, May 1-15, 2010



 
Another round of updates is here! Lots of interviews in this set of show updates, including Davy Jones (the Monkee, not the captain of the Flying Dutchman), Stacy Aswad (Must Do's at WDW), Bob Gurr, Jim Korkis, Kelsey Grammer (yes, THE Kelsey Grammer), and more! Lots of Summer Nightastic info, as well as Toy Story 3 news, can be found in here. Finding Nemo is analyzed by the Disney Indiana crew, and, as always, they do an amazing job with it. Some of the DPN shows also start giving reviews from their recent Westfest event in this set, while the DisneyBrit crew does the same for their Mousemeets 2010 extravaganza. Also, we get the next installment of one of the best countdowns I've heard on a podcast (last entry on here). There's something for every Disney fan in the 55-60 shows listed below…ENJOY!

 
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. Also, Shawn Rees does a similar set of posts over on thedisneyblog.com and covers some shows that I don't list here…check out his stuff…he does a great job and provides the type of reviews I would like to get back to doing someday.

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

This week we head back into the archives to 2006 and the first time that Jonathan Coulton's "First of May" made an appearance on TOV....  I take you along with myself, Jeff from Houston, and Patrick as we explore the Land Pavilion at Epcot. After that I hit IOA and mess with some Dino DNA! (Mush: Episode 36 is the destination of the wayback machine…I remember this episode when it came out. I loved the Willy Wonka comment about Living With the Land…I still have episode 63 stored in iTunes with that ride-thru audio from Mousefest…one of the funniest pieces of audio I've ever heard!

I'll ask you to comment in the show notes and weigh in on some possible changes that may be coming. I often kid about how attractions and shows in Walt Disney World are just things to occupy our time in between meals, but the parks and resorts do offer a wide variety of wonderful dining options - and not all of them require you to make dining reservations in advance. In fact, some of Walt Disney World's best food can be found at the numerous counter service locations. So this week, we'll count down our Top Ten list of Walt Disney World Counter Service Restaurants. If you weren't hungry when you started listening, you just might be by the time you're through.

We'll tour the park and explore some of the secrets, stories and history of MuppetVision 3D, Muppet-based shows that are no longer here, the Disney-Henson marriage, as well as "The Muppets That Never Were," as Jim Korkis and I wander the Studios and discuss some of the proposed concepts that never made it both in and out of the parks. It's a fascinating live tour of the Muppets in the present, as well as a look back in time, and possibly even into the future of the Muppets in Walt Disney World. (Mush: being a Muppets fan, I really enjoyed this segment!) Time: 1:28:17
    • 05/13/10 – Video Extra, There's more to explore in Walt Disney World, as guests of all ages can enjoy catch-and-release fishing led by expert guides in the waters in front of the Magic Kingdom.

    • 05/13/10 – Episode 42, WEDway Radio is very excited to bring you this interview with Disney Legend and original Imagineer Bob Gurr.  Bob is said to have crafted nearly every attraction at Disneyland that has wheels and a motor.  He started working in the machine shop at Disney helping to create the Autopia in 1954 and from there worked on nearly every advanced attraction or vehicle at Disneyland and also at Walt Disney World including the Monorail and Submarines just to name a few.  In the news this week we discuss Monsters Inc 2, cheap Sea World tickets, Free Dining, A new Toy Story Midway Mania game and more.  (Any show with Bob Gurr is a good show…well-done on the interview, guys!) Time: 1:13:38


    • 05/15/10 – Episode 237, This week, Paul is at Westfest...but first... 7 minutes & 58 seconds of brutal honesty.

More than one Disney property makes its countdown debut here. (Mush: If you haven't been following this countdown, do yourself a favor and start listening. I was screaming at the iPod on a number of occasions, but I still absolutely LOVE this show…and, no, I'm not just saying that because of his shout-out at the end of the show for the blog (Thanks!)).

Disney Podcast Updates – April 16-30, 2010


Well, folks, this wraps up the first year of podcast updates for the blog. No pomp and no circumstance – I'm over two months behind, for crying out loud. It's weird how this has changed in the past 12 months (uninterrupted with the exception of a couple of weeks in November due to a technical glitch). It has grown exponentially, it seems. The first round of updates had 28 podcasts on it. Currently I'm tracking over 50 shows with several more being subscribed to with thoughts of adding them to the list. It goes without saying that I've bitten off more than I can chew, and I feel bad that the vast majority of the updates below are little more than the show descriptions. Still, I feel that there's a benefit here as I continue to add labels to the posts and see traffic coming in via searches and out via the podcast links as hopeful new subscribers find the podcasts. Again, I'm going to try to work on getting caught up – I find myself getting behind and then feeling overwhelmed when I see 200+ new episodes sitting in iTunes waiting to be listened to. Hopefully I can do the show updates to catch up and then start doing weekly updates instead of 2/month updates.

 
To those podcasters who have promoted what I do on your feeds, it is most definitely appreciated. If I didn't acknowledge it, please be assured that it was not intentional. In an effort to listen to as many shows as I can, I sometimes end a show a few minutes early when it sounds like the main part is over and the show is in the "wrap-up" stage.

 
As for the 67 shows listed below…some really good ones are on here once again. There are too many to list here, but you can tell which ones I really liked based on my comments below.

 
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. Also, Shawn Rees does a similar set of posts over on thedisneyblog.com and covers some shows that I don't list here…check out his stuff…he does a great job and provides the type of reviews I would like to get back to doing someday.

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

    • 04/20/10 – Episode 100 (CONGRATS!!!!), The cats invite on George Taylor from the Imaginerding Blog and Jeff Pepper from the 2719 Hyperion Blog for a critical discourse among the Disney Digerati. Huh? In lay-terms, how hard is it to provide media (audio or written) about Disney from a more journalistic approach rather than from a personal approach? Being an economics professor and a doctoral candidate writing a dissertation, I find it VERY difficult to write one way (i.e. the dissertation). If I could write the dissertation like I do a trip report or podcast update, I would have had the Ph.D. 4 years ago. This was a risky show topic to take on, but I think y'all hit it out of the park. I think this should be a required listen to all members of large discussion sites (that's one of several reasons why I don't participate in anything Disboards-related) the George and Jeff have a new subscriber after hearing this episode. Great show, Cats! Time: 44:21

There's also Jack Wagner, Mickey & Goofy (ummmmm…I'll never think of that song the same again), and a voicemail (No idea where you get it, but I Love the Jack Wagner audio bits, did you have to use Wonder Pets audio??? Also, I was LOL at the road kill CPR and nude teacher stories). Time: 29:32

That's right, we have an interview! My guest this week has an important role in Disney history; he was the co-creator of what may be the most well known and beloved Disney parade of all-time, The Main Street Electrical Parade. My guest is Ron Miziker and he'll be taking us through the creation of the unique entertainment offering, as well as sharing some wonderful and hilarious stories from his time at the Walt Disney Company. It was a honor to speak with him and I guarantee you'll enjoy the interview from start to finish. Time: 1:23:26

And this week, such is the case with Fantasyland's Pinocchio Village Haus. Jim Korkis joins me once again to tell some of the "Stories Behind the Stories" in this DSI: Disney Scene Investigation.

    • 04/25/10 – Episode 167, Properly planning your Walt Disney World vacation is crucial, and an important part of that planning needs to focus on not just time spent in the parks, but getting to and from the resort. This week, we're going to take a look at Disney's Magical Express, the free bus service to and from the airport. Whether you're a first time visitor or think you know how Magical Express works, we'll talk about not just how the system works, but its pros and cons, how to get the most out of it, and some very important details you need to know before you go. Next, I'll call a listener and invite her to play Fact or Fiction, where she can answer Walt Disney World trivia questions for a chance to win some prizes. Play along at home, see how you do, and find out how you can enter for a chance to play on the air as well. I'll announce a new product this week, have a few announcements, and then play more of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.
