Modern Mouse Radio Josh Taylor

Josh brings David Erikson from Fresh Baked Disney to the show. They talk about what Disney's California Adventure park has to offer currently, the news of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror being replaced with a Marvel property, the probability of a Marvel Land at the park, and what the future of the park might look like. When Disney's California Adventure opened I don't think we ever suspected the park to look as it does now and in another few years we can probably say the same thing. 

This episode is a rebroadcast of one of our favorite episodes of Modern Mouse. Last year we dabbled with the idea of bringing social issues to Modern Mouse Radio. This episode was one of the first to tackle an issue of female stereotypes. We bring up if Disney Princesses are actually good role models, how Disney has changed the roles of their princesses, and what that might mean for the future. 

Pokemon Go, love it or hate it, has brought us into a new era of how we interact with our phones and the real world. Josh and Angie brainstorm ideas that could be used at the Disney Parks that Disney would easily be able to add to their experiences at the parks. As we evolve technology we are looking to be more interactive with our tech in the real world so how does Disney take advantage of this PokeGo craze and use smart phones to their advantage.

In 1945, Elie Wiesel was in a Jewish concentration camp in Hungary. He saw the worst of the world while he was there. He survived Germany's War on Judaism and ended up in America as a journalist. In 1957 he visited Disneyland, the happiest place on Earth, and reviewed it. In this episode of Modern Mouse Radio Josh brings his experience at Disneyland toe the show. The stark contrast between his time at the concentration camps and at Disneyland, and how he compared the park to the Garden of Eden. Hear Wiesel's story in celebration of his life, his teachings, and his writings.

For the last few weeks, Modern Mouse Radio has been making the transition over to being under the larger brand of Network 1901. The eventual goal is to have everyone who listens to the show be a part of Network 1901 and that the original MMR feed of podcasts will originally go away. So periodically we will be rebroadcasting some of our favorite episodes of Modern Mouse so that those episodes will never be lost. 

This episode was originally recorded in January of 2015. Josh talked with Keith Gluck of www.TheDisneyProject.com about Walt's original plan for the EPCOT project as well as if the city was livable or buildable. Plus they discuss the ideas of Walt's city that made it into the regular world 

Also be sure to check out Josh on Behind the Magic podcast at www.BTMPodcast.com where they discuss the alligator attack on Walt Disney World property. 

Josh talks with Ben Lancaster about the production of his new film "The Further Adventures of Walt's Frozen Head" in which Walt Disney's frozen head lives below the Magic Kingdom. Ben is currently working on special effects and post-production of the film. He's recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to help finish the film and create some buzz for it's upcoming release. Kickstarter previews will be sometime this winter with a full release next year!
