In the past seven years or so my wife and I have visited Walt Disney World numerous times and I’ve made it a kind of mission to soak up as much information as I could about what went into making them. To that end I’ve watched documentaries and read tons of books on the subject. However so far I’ve only encountered one audio boxset, and while the topic of the set isn’t directly related to the parks it certainly laid the groundwork for some of the best works the parks have ever seen.
In the last episode of our podcast I gave a little history lesson/talk about the 1964 World’s Fair and Walt Disney’s involvement in it. The idea to cover it on the show stemmed from my wanted to try and spread some of the reasons why I love the topic of Disney so much, and why I consider the man a hero of mine. The podcast topic was just a glimpse, and hopefully I can find some ways to bring up interesting areas of the Disney company in future podcasts.
But today we’re here to talk about audio! Audio from the four attractions that Walt Disney produced for various companies at the fair. So, please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times. Let’s take a look!

I can promise you dear listeners that when we sat down to do this show we never intended it to be so Disney filled, just turned out that way. Not that Dan is upset mind you, he could talk about that shit for hours and hours. I mean he just got back from vacationing there and discussed the changes since he had been there 2 years ago. We do think geekspew offers something new in the way of a history lesson certainly for the nerdy, and serves to maybe spread some of the interest that Dan has in the man known at one time as “Uncle Walt.”
The rest of the show as usual covers much ground, from old school sci-fi shows to tales of biker gangs. The crew also discusses the bitter end to their latest Dungeons and Dragons adventure. It’s all good stuff.

I ain’t going to lie dear listeners, I think this show came out really well. We all seemed to be firing on all cylinders and it all just came together nice. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it!

We stumbled into a link that wanted to give us “more” and we wondered what was up with that. (more…)
As the old saying goes, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Thankfully nobody ever said that adage applied to mice. This November Disney Interactive is preparing to launch an elaborate new adventure in the world of Mickey Mouse, and for the first time this generation that adventure will be entirely interactive.

Man, we’re really moving right along! If we were still doing the Bitcast this would be episode 98!!! That’s just kind of incredible. Somewhere out there on the internet there’s an accumulation of well over 100 hours of us talking about shit. And about 20% of that is actually good! It’s at this point I’d like to go on record and say that this particular podcast is about 88.9% awesome and 11.1% meh (mostly the parts where I’m not talking). Hey, they all can’t be classics…. wanna fight about it?

This one breaks from our usual pattern a bit as we wanted to take advantage of a long game night and talk about the games we had just played. Our friends Rich and Mike join us for some conversation during a slightly different “What ‘cha been doing” segment. The rest of the show however falls into it’s typical place with geekspew, 5 hit combo and homework rounding it all out.
