Disney Podcast Updates, December 1-10, 2009

Happy new year to everybody!!!

With the holidays behind us, I can say that I am the proud new owner of an iPod Nano 16G w/ voice memo capability, so I think things will be a little easier in getting these updated. First off, I can actually hold everything on the iPod instead of constantly shuffling shows off and on. Second, I can make real-time memos that I can play back while updating this - while it may not seem like much, you'd be surprised how quickly you forget what a show was about and what specific items I wanted to comment on.

I'm going to plow through December's shows in installments, again doing primarily just the show descriptions. I'll go back to my "old" format where I provide my own comments starting with the January updates.

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.

Podcastus Disneyii Interruptus

Well, folks, my string of nearly 7 months of consecutive podcast updates will sadly be broken today. I got the first half of November's updates completed and was doing a quick turnaround on Monday to get the 16th-30th done and posted. I started at the end of the alphabet and was had gotten up to the mid-M's (around 25-30 podcast shows by my estimate). I decided to quit for a while and clicked on "save" on Word.



Word shuts down on me while trying to save.



NOOOOOOOoooooooooo.....


Okay, I have the autorecover function going on Word...it had to have saved at least once in the 1.5 hours I had been working on it.



Nope.


Nothing.


Nada.


NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo...........



I went to the root directory where the autorecover files are stored, and it's empty.


With the week I've been having, I almost started crying.


Then I remembered: HEY! The episodes I had deleted from iTunes are still in the Recycle Bin. I go in there and try to restore an episode of MouseStation back to iTunes.


Yeah...didn't work. Nothing showed up.


So here's the case: I have a number of shows that I no longer have. While I do have quite a bit from the first half of the alphabet, I feel like I can't give full updates to only them and leave the others hanging, so I've decided to *sob* forego doing updates for that two-week period from November 16-30, 2009. I'll try to recall some of the highlights though:

• WaltCast had an interview with Lee Cockerell!
• WDW Today had me nearly crying from laughter at both the "What to Do on Attractions" and the "Secondary Park Icons" episodes (a bench, Len...seriously???).
• Gordon said "BLECH" a lot in his show on dissecting a 20 mile run with a calf blowing up on you (and had me cracking up in the process...sorry, Gordon, but hearing you say that just made me laugh).
• Mike and Mark did a good recap of one of our favorite attractions: Mickey's Philharmagic.
• Van is being classic Van on his Netcot shows (love his sense of humor).
• OH LOU! does it yet again with an awesome interview with Ridley Pearson and Dave Barry on their collaborative Peter and the Starcatchers books.
• BMSLou gives some more great video from his recent trip down there.
• DISCast did a review of Touringplan's new Lines App
• Matt and Nate did an amazing interview with Henry from Touringplans and also with Shawn and Katie from WaltCast on the same show.
• MouseStation did a recap on their MouseAdventure. Coupling this show with one of the shows from Disney, Indiana where Scott and Tracey talk about volunteering for the Adventure shows just how much work went into it. Sounds like an amazing event!
• MouseDroppings...Keegan meets up with the Esquire...'nuf said!
• Tom Corless and the WDWNT crew did a Timekeeper episode...I never got to see that attraction.
• Ricky's Inside the Magic had a show with a couple of early reviews of The Princess and the Frog and gives some interesting ideas about the show.
• Mike, Rikki, and the Be Our Guest crew had a really good interview with Len Testa on why he is how he is.
  

Trust me, there are other shows that had some great material. If I recall them, I'll add them here so that they can be searchable by the web engines.


Sorry folks...I don't like doing this. Believe me, I like seeing the searches hitting the blog and people clicking through to the podcasts to download - the blog is doing what I hope it does. Barring another snafu, I'll start working on getting caught up with December after the holidays.

Part 2 of Day 2 can be viewed HERE.





Folks, please accept my apologies for the temporary rudeness of my soon-to-be-recycled cell phone. I need to take some of the blame as I actually was distracted with my new iPod (when I wrote this), though, in my defense, if the Moose Meet music wasn't so darn good, I wouldn't be trying to import all that into the Nano. 1L (another online friend) gets part of the blame.



Okay…in going over all of the stuff he put in the first part, he actually didn't do too bad a job for the most part. There were more calls that I'm sure of, but they weren't in the log. I seriously did plan to save DD's message with her number, but a bus was pulling up, and I was trying to listen to the message while trying to get a kid out of a stroller and fold it down at the same time. Oh yeah…one other thing that the phone selectively forgot to mention. We took Pal Mickey with us, but his batteries had died. Those were brand new batteries put in 2 days ago too! I think the phone had something to do with it (jealousy? Perhaps Camera was showing a little too much affection to Mickey).



Where were we…oh yeah…back at the hotel to rest. Eric and Sheri fall asleep rather quickly, while Aaron and I watch Toon Disney. I ultimately crash for about 20 minutes, but Aaron refuses to go to sleep. With 2 fairly refreshed, 1 sorta refreshed, and 1 still on an adrenaline high, we head back out to the bus stop around 4:30…just as a bus pulls up for us.



I'll give you one guess as to which one of us fell asleep on the bus.



We arrive at MK just before 5 and wake Aaron up before he takes the return trip to the Pop. We get a couple of pics at the Mickey floral on Photopass and run up to the train station to catch the train. As we get on the train, I hear them start the retreat/flag ceremony. I almost got us off the train so I could witness this. Someday I'll try to request to take part in it as I've read that Veterans are allowed to assist.



Anyways…back on the train…







The boys love trains, and they were on cloud 9 all the way to Frontierland. As soon as we get off the train, it starts sprinkling. I jokingly suggest that we do Splash Mountain as we're gonna get wet anyways! Needless to say, it didn't go over well…especially with a 70 minute wait. We make it to Pecos Bills and threaten Aaron with doing no more rides ever again as long as I'm alive if he didn't start behaving immediately. We tried to get him to sleep. Nope. Now we have Kidzilla on our hands. We tried to get him to go potty before we got to Pecos Bill's. Nope. 5 minutes later and he's dancing and begging me to take him. We tried to tell him to quit jumping around. Nope. The goose-egg on his head will serve as a reminder not to jump, especially under low-hanging places.



We get our food, and I take Aaron to the closest bathroom I know of…the one between Adventureland and Liberty Square. Of course he's too tired to walk, so I carry him. He does his business and demands that I carry him back to eat. We get back to the restaurant, and Sheri heads up to the fixin's bar. She comes back, and I head up to load up the burger. I LOVE this place! Aaron whines that there's no cheese on his burger, so I swap buns with him. FINALLY things start calming down for us. We finish our dessert and start to head out when I notice that there was a restroom actually in Pecos Bills…about 9 feet from where we were sitting.



…and I took Aaron to the one about a half-mile away.



Geez…I really am a moron.



We miss the castle-lighting ceremony…but it was just a "possible" to-do today. We make our way over to Adventureland to see how bad the wait is for Pirates. 30 minute wait. Nope! We keep on going around to see if Aladdin was running. Nope! (are y'all seeing a pattern here?) Tiki birds? I think Eric will request a new family if we take him there with all the darkness, lightning, and Polynesia.



He proved me wrong…Man, he loved the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room!!! We head out and contemplate getting back in line again for it until we see Aladdin up and running. The line was fairly short, so we decide to hop in.






I had to get this pose as one of my favorite ones from when we took Aaron back in 2005 is this exact same pose:









Can ya tell they're brothers?



While we're up on the ride, we get our first glimpse of the castle iced out. Pictures simply don't do that justice. Absolutely breathtaking is the only way to describe it.



We head off of Aladdin and make a non-touring-plan mistake…we wondered what to ride next. We had time, and Aaron was begging us, so we decided to head back to Pirates. As we walked up, the wait time cycled from 30 to 20 minutes, so we hopped in line. We had a good conversation with the family in front of us. The 9 year old son was showing off with his knowledge of Disney World…he's a little me in training, according to Sheri. We hop on the ride, and I ask wifey if she had Eric's light-up toy from Todd and Mo just in case.



Ummmm…Todd…Maureen…please skip the next couple paragraphs.













Sheri gets this shocked look on her face.



It was then that we realized that we left them in the bag in the stroller outside.



So much for that idea. This attraction was one of the things that we thought Eric might need the reinforcement. Oh well…we'll just have to add it to the pocket-packing list for the rest of the days.







Okay…Todd…Maureen…you can start reading again.



Eric LOVED THE LIGHT and kept the light on during the first part of the ride. It was because of the light that he made it through!













They ain't buying it, are they?



Eric actually did really good…he held on to Sheri just a bit during the short plunge but loved the ride. Aaron was singing the song all the way through. We then went through the gift shop, where I knew the boys would want to play with the swords.











Notice that I am nowhere near holding a sword and fighting with the boys. There was an infamous pic 2 years ago…





Those of you who have been around the Lodge for a while may recognize the pose I'm in. Photoshop everything but me out of there and then add a pic of a rather well-endowed animal that you can see over in Animal Kingdom, and you get the source of my angst. I still pray to God every night that Dan gets cursed with an unending case of hemorrhoids for doing that.



ANYWAYS!

Disney Podcast Updates, October 30-November 15

Well, this has been delayed well over a month. I won't bore you with the details; however, it does involve the end of the semester as a faculty member, Thanksgiving, and two separate trips to the emergency room with our sons (they're going to be okay). Much like October, 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 (which I much prefer...I like giving the personal touches to the comments).

I still hope one day to get this back to a weekly update, and I hope that some new equipment after the holidays will help. If all goes well, I hope to get a 16G Nano that allows for voice memo recordings. This way, I'll have space to actually download all the shows instead of constantly shuffling to get stuff to fit, and I'll be able to do the memos for each podcast as I listen to them (instead of trying to remember what was on each show).

There are a couple more shows that I'm thinking of adding, but I just don't have the time at the moment to do it. In time, I'll get to them, but it may take a month.

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.

• Mouse Lounge
  
  • 10/29/09 – Episode 2 of Season 2, In this episode of the Mouse Lounge, celebrate 70 years with the one that started it all, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. From the Walt Disney Family Museum: In a darkened theater filled to overflowing at the D23 Expo, I had the honor of sitting in the presence of true Disney legends and experts. Producer, Don Hahn moderates a panel discussion about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In attendance were animator, Andreas Deja, who invoked life into Scar in the Lion King, and Gaston in Beauty and the Beast, Eric Goldberg, responsible for animating the Genie in Aladdin, and directing the jaw dropping Rhapsody in Blue and hilarious Flamingo with a Yo Yo sequences in Fantasia 2000, Disney historian and author, J.B. Kaufman, animation historian and prolific writer, Charles Solomon, and special guest, looking dazzling at 90 years young, Marge Gower Champion, the live action model for Snow White. 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 we serve up a triple feature. At the beginning of 1938, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was taking America by storm. By using the radio medium, Walt was able to stoke the fire of his marketing machine promoting Snow White; while at the same time, entertaining a national audience. On January 2nd 1938, a radio episode of The Mickey Mouse Theater hit the airwaves, coupling elements from the picture with other famous Disney characters. Pay particular attention as Walt himself effortlessly goes from his natural speaking voice into character as Mickey. Next, scoop up slices of film from the cutting room floor and wonder, what if? Have a listen right here to the marvelous but deleted soup sequence from Snow White. Each week we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West. This week, enjoy a one of a kind compare and contrast as you hear back to back versions of Snow Whites Scary Adventures, first in on the west coast in Disneyland then in Walt Disney Worlds Magic Kingdom. There are striking differences between the two. Which do you like better? We close the show with unique takes from the soundtrack. First from the newly remastered original soundtrack, the infectious Silly Song; then Satchmo Armstrong teaches you how to Whistle While You Work, and finishing with Ashley Tisdale's turn at Some Day My Prince Will Come. Time: 2:00:11
    
  • 11/7/09, Call or text with your comments!!! New number -> (805) 270-5785 In this episode of the Mouse Lounge, we take an adventure in Melody and to the mythic land of Agrabah! From the Walt Disney Family Museum: Peek into the process of one of Americas Modern Masters of Melody, Alan Menkin. 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 we unearth RCA Victors VY-4000. On four Little Nipper Storybook 78s on 1952 Adventures in Music: Melody. This entire segment, as well as images from the album will be available in the Multimedia area of Mouselounge.com. Each week we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West. This week, Don your Dishdasha and duck into DCA for a trip to mythic Agrabah! This is a very recent recording of Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular and the pop culture references are fast and furious. Also pay close attention to how the Genie makes short work of a heckler in the audience. Take issue with the Genie at your peril! We close the show with a trip across the esplanade into Disneyland for the Disneyland Band Noon Concert themed to a trip into the movies. Enjoy! (Mush's Note…I got to see Aladdin a couple of years ago and was amazed at the improv abilities of the actor portraying the Genie…the one in this clip absolutely blows away what I thought was great. Awesome Clip!). Time: 2:23:24

  • 11/15/09 – Episode 213, This week, we have a little bit different of a show. Recently Paul went to the Walt Disney Family Museum for the October WTTM Meet of the Month and was lucky enough to be able to attend a screening of the 3 Caballeros followed by a discussion of the film and light discussion of Walt Disney's famous Good Neighbor Program tour to South America which spawned several films, including Saludos Amigos and the 3 Caballeros. Paul was given permission by Donna Tuggle, director of Education and Public Programs for the WDFM to capture the audio of JB Kaufman's discussion before and after the film, and this week, that is the audio we will be sharing with you. We'll begin with Donna introducing JB and his short introduction to the film (3 caballeros) which we were about to see. Then, we play for you a sampling of the wonderful soundtrack from the film, as we meet up with JB after the movie for more information, some Q&A from the crowd and then, as a bonus, we will talk personally with JB about Walt Disney, JB's fascination with Disney, and JB's new book, South of the Border with Disney, Walt Disney and the Good Neighbor Program 1941-1948... So sit back as you virtually attend the first WTTM WDFM MOTM... and maybe someday soon we'll see all of you in person at the museum for one of our meets. Time: 1:11:36
