It has been a while since I mentioned the release of a Disneyland Resort Podcast. They just posted the most recent episode I produced. We cover the Food and Wine Weekends, where I interview Michael Jordan the manager and lead sommelier of the Napa Rose restaurant pictured above and an interview with Imagineer Tony Baxter about the return of the Subs. You can check it out here.
Genesis of the Disneyland Podcast
I am often asked to recount the story behind the original 50th Anniversary Disneyland Podcast. Those who have heard the story know it sounds like a game of telephone. “A guy (Mike Spataro) called a guy ( Greg Cangialosi) who called a guy (K. Todd Storch) who called a guy (Me).” Here is an interview that my friend Greg Cangialosi (guy #2) conducted with Mike Spataro (guy #1) for his new podcast, ROI Radio. For the record, Mike is the unsung hero of the Disneyland Podcast, he brought the opportunity to us.
BTW, Greg did a great presentation at our most recent Podcast Academy. His presentation, which he mentions in the interview, will be available for free on the Podcast Academy channel in the near future. [Link]
If you are a Disney fan, here are the photos from the May kick off event and the July 50th Anniversary.
Fun With Video

I decided to experiment with some video. If it works, the post should display a movie poster you can click to play as well as a download option for an iPod version of the video. The movie segment above was created by Noah Bonnett from 88SLIDE for a series of episodes he produced at Disneyland. (BTW Noah is an Instructor at the upcoming Podcast Academy.)
