WDWNT 2011 ChristmasPodcast Parade: Bonus
points to Tom Coreless and crew for doing something unique and different for a
Christmas time podcast. The guys really step outside of the box for their
annual Christmas Podcast Parade. As the warning on the show noted states, “This
show is a comedy show with no education value what so ever!” With that being
established I really enjoyed it. I had second and third thoughts when I first
downloaded this show, but I decided to give it a shot. The show is 100%
scripted with the hosts playing various characters throughout the almost two
and a half hour show. At times the content is immature and forced but like any
television skit show it has its share of ups and downs. The segments, for the
most part, are funny, unique, and original. I am really impressed with the level
of talent of the hosts. They really put a lot of work and thought into this
show. If you are getting tired of the regular ho hum “What is there to do in Disney
during Christmas” type of shoe, you should really give this show a listen. Give
it time. It is very well produced and very funny!
The Season Pass PodcastEpisode 188: The
crew is visited by and interviews author Chris Dearman. Dearman is the author
of Santa’s Village Gone Wild. Once again Season Pass host Doug Barnes
does a great job at interviewing the author and Dearman gives a lot of insight
and information into a little known Chicago area park. The stories shared on
this show are true one of a kind adventures that you will definitely want to
hear. The show is light on news this week but you won’t even think about news
once you listen to the first five minutes of this show. While other shows try
to cover a variety of different topics each week, the season pass does a great
job at putting all of its focus on one topic. This show has great production
quality the quality of the content is second to none!
WDW Dis Cussion ShowEpisode 4: On this
episode host Ryan Barr is joined by his regular co hosts Casey Kol, Ron Bidnez,
Tony King and once again WDW Fanboys co host Paul Miller pops in for a guest
host spot. The group talks about the holiday happenings at Disney World. This
same topic was talked about on plenty of other podcasts this week, so it was
not the most dynamic show .Although I don’t think many other people are insane enough
to listen to as many podcasts each week as me. When I started listening to the
show I kind of got down in the dumps about hearing the same old information
about celebrating Christmas at WDW, but the crew soon pulled me out of the pits with their great stories
and unique perspective. Sometimes having more than three or four hosts on a
show can be a bit challenging for a host and overwhelming for a listener, but
this crew manages to make it work. Major points to this young podcasting crew
for knowledge, and chemistry. The show is not perfect by any stretch but it is
a good listen. With a runtime of about 50 minutes this would be a good show to
listen to on a lunch break in the middle of the week. The show is a bit light
on news and behind the scenes information, but they make up for that with in
depth first hand, personal experiences from inside the parks. If you like WDW
Fanboys you will most likely enjoy this show.
Magical DefinitionPodcast-Unwrapping Disney’s Christmas Carol: When almost every other podcast this week was wrapping
up 2011, or going over the holiday happenings at Walt Disney World, Magical Definition
hosts Jim Hill and Nathan Rose took a different approach. On the show
the two hosts explain and break down how the Disney marketing machine helped
develop, push, and market the 2009 Disney film, A Christmas Carol. Jim Hill offers
never before heard information and access to the inside world of Disney
marketing. He discusses where the marketing team went wrong, and what they did
right. When it comes to marketing a movie, Jim Hill makes it clear that Disney
has the precision of a military operation. As always, listening to this show is
pure joy! Nathan and Jim have great chemistry and a good job at bouncing
questions and ideas off of each other. It was very refreshing to hear the hosts
approach this holiday show differently. It is a stellar show that is well worth
the listen.
"Hello internet!"
On the show this week hosts Lee,
Tracey and Darren are visited by former Universal Studios Orlando team member Ron
Schneider. Ron shares stories with the crew about the first ever Christmas
celebration at Universal Orlando. Ron offers up some great insight and tells
some very funny stories. Host Lee Mallaby lands yet another top notch interview
with a true theme park insider. Lee is a great interviewer and does a great job at asking the important questions, while making sure he does not take the spotlight off of his guest. UUOP continues to be one of my favorite theme
park podcast out there today. The way they present their news at the beginning of
the show is one of my favorite segments and I look forward to it. With only 20
episodes under their belt the crew at UUOP continues to get better and better.
Podcasting is much like a theme park attraction; it’s all about storytelling,
and these guys have managed to get some of the best story tellers in the
industry on the show. The bonus
outtakes show was a special treat. As someone who used to host a small local high
school TV news show I can appreciate a good blooper. With the special edition
of the bloopers show I think UUOP is more than worthy of “Show of the Week’. The bit where co host Hunters family member keeps
bursting into is room during the show is hilarious! The bonus show will have
you laughing from beginning to end and is well worth the extra download. I look
forward to watching this show progress and grow in 2012!
