Episode 58 (Part 1): The Inaugural Emily, Mike, Tanya and Kiva Disnerds Variety 'Hour'
Trigger/Content Warning for strong language and discussion of violent racism.
This episode is sadly but proudly dedicated to James Horner, who we didn't talk about nearly as much as we should have.
It's a rather special one this time, as the Disnerds are joined by TWO - count'em - TWO guests! We are joined by both Tanya AND Kiva, and a lovely time's had by all. There's actually even a surprising amount of Disney talk in this episode, along with Don Bluth, Dreamworks, and...Kid 'n Play's House Party??

Episode 57: It's a Disney Conspiracy!
Trigger/Content Warning for discussion of female infertility & related stigma!

Best Disney Podcast on the Planet
Castle To Castle is, hands down, the best Disney podcast out there, providing a sorely needed critical lens to examine issues of representation and intersectionality, and Mike and Emily are a pure delight to listen to. Their friendship really makes the show. My mood is always better after I get the privilege of listening to another episode.
I've learned quite a bit about Disney parks around the world, but it's the discussions about the seldom-discussed successes and failures of Disney to give adequate representation that truly keep me coming back.
I <3 Castle to Castle!
A Full-Service Disney Podcast
Mike, a Disney parks guy, and Emily, an animation lover, come together to share their obvious passion for all things Disney. Unlike other Disney podcasts which focus on one Disney element, this one covers anything and everything from Tokyo Disney to the science fiction roots of Lilo and Stitch. A fun listen which changes it up enough to keep it from being boring.
