MiceCast #50 - 1st Anniversary
February 12, 2007 14:33 - 2 hours - 28.6 MBContinuing with their experimental ways on the show's first anniversary, your hosts invite you along on a poker night. Richard is there and a fourth who is not really a Disney-type. This show is definitely PG-13 (maybe borderline R) which is about what you would expect when four friends get together for a night of cards. The two main topics of Disney discussion are Tom Sawyer's Island and Paul Pressler. We are also continuing with the plus-sized episodes. This one clocks in at 2 hours, 12 min...
So You're Goin' to Disneyland
January 26, 2007 15:44 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBYour hosts read an e-mail that asks what an experienced WDW'er should look for on their very first trip to Walt's Original. Then there is a half-hour tanget on some theme park operations. All of which gives you a 1 hour and 52 minute show. P.S.: Don't forget the "relevant" music at the end.
Safari Secrets
January 08, 2007 13:32 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBYet another show with an in-studio guest. DPN Forum Member and Former Cast Member Artjaro gives us a behind-the-scenes peek at Kilimanjaro Safaris. It would also be a good idea to have Google Maps or Google Earth handy, as Artjaro gives a bit of an aerial tour as well. All this and the usual MiceCast tangents and nonsense gives you a 1 hour and 56 minute show.
2006 Finale / WDW Trip Reports
December 30, 2006 07:39 - 2 hours - 28.6 MBFor the final show of 2006, your hosts present a WDW Trip Report. In an effort to not talk strictly about MouseFest, we have two people share their impressions of their first ever trip WDW. Brad from Bringing Disneyland Home and Chris from The Big D give us their take. Also, a new "feature" for MiceCast. The exit music will now have some sort of tie-in to stuff talked about on the show. This weeks exit music will also have a fun twist in it so make sure you listen to the whole thing. Oh yeah,...
Companion Video for the Christmas Show 2006
December 27, 2006 01:42 - 28.6 MB VideoHere is the campanion video for our 2006 Christmas Show.
Christmas Show 2006
December 23, 2006 14:54 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBIn the spirit of the holiday season, your hosts are "live" in the park reviewing Christmas decorations and details. Forum Member JohnDUB sits down with us for a while too. Show length is approx. 1hour 20 minutes. This show will also have a companion video.
'Sup?
December 01, 2006 15:51 - 2 hours - 28.6 MBBob from Beyond Main Street finally upholds his commitment to come visit us on MiceCast. What follows is a two hour peek into what makes Bob tick. Yes, you read that right. This show logs in at 2 hours, 10 minutes. There were too many complaints about splitting up the long shows, so you get his one all at once. Make sure you stay through to the end for a little different exit music.
Crowd Control
November 20, 2006 01:42 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBIn light of the closing of Disneyland's gates this last Veterans' Day weekend, Greg and Mike discuss some ideas and options on how to get those crowds down to a manageable level. This show clocks in at 1 hour 34 minutes.
Haunted Halloweentime Video
November 08, 2006 06:56 - 28.6 MB VideoThis is the companion video for "MiceCast #43 - Haunted Halloweentime". This is meant to be viewed AFTER listening to the podcast. It is approx. 20 minutes in length.
Haunted Halloweentime
October 31, 2006 13:38 - 1 hour - 75.4 MBGreg and Mike (and a long lost host) get into the spirit of the season and go on a Ghostbuster tour of Disneyland. This is another "live" in-the-park episode that lasts approx. 1 hour 40 minutes.
Million Dreams Discussion
October 26, 2006 13:11 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBGreg and Mike discuss the Year of a Million Dreams promotion and its effect on Cast Members and guests alike. Plus a few tangents to make sure the show lasts an hour.
Roundtable at the Rancho
October 20, 2006 12:01 - 58 minutes - 28.6 MBGreg and Mike participate in a roundtable discussion with Jeff from Houston and DPN Forum Member Burnt Toast. They made every effort of focusing on the subject of synergy and theme park creativity, but tangents still made a big appearance. There were also a couple of F-Bombs, which surprisingly, none came from Greg.
Out-of-Place Observations
October 15, 2006 03:57 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBGreg and Mike take a listener suggestion and try to examine WDW and DL shows and attractions that may be "out of place". In other words, they don't fit in with the theme of the area they are in. Although no F-Bombs are dropped, there is some decidedly PG-13 content in the first 10 minutes.
Suggestion Box, Part Deux
October 08, 2006 11:44 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBMore of the same from the last show as your hosts, Greg and Mike, continue to discuss various show suggestions from listeners. No funny voicemail this time.
The Suggestion Box Show
October 02, 2006 12:43 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBGreg and Mike discuss various show suggestions from listeners. Plus one hilariously funny voicemail. Standard MiceCast fare at 1.5 hours.
Maintenance Musings
September 20, 2006 13:37 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBReturning to their MiceCast roots, Mike and Greg examine why the Magic Kingdom in Florida is neglected when compared to Disneyland. Jeff from Houston tags along for this in-depth discussion.
Mr. Mark Drops By
September 14, 2006 11:52 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBIn an effort to spread class and culture to the DPN, Mike and Greg do a special episode with a Non-Disney podcaster. Mr. Mark drops by to talk about his podcast, his career, and his interest in Disney Parks.
Greg's WDW Trip Report, Part 3
September 12, 2006 12:58 - 53 minutes - 21.3 MBMike and Greg go over Greg's recent trip to Walt Disney World. When the dust settled, the time on the clock showed that we recorded for three hours. Finally, this is part 3 of 3.
Greg's WDW Trip Report, Part 2
September 06, 2006 12:10 - 1 hour - 25.1 MBMike and Greg go over Greg's recent trip to Walt Disney World. When the dust settled, the time on the clock showed that we recorded for three hours. So this is part 2 of 3. We will post another part in a couple days.
Greg's WDW Trip Report, Part 1
September 04, 2006 09:55 - 1 hour - 24.8 MBMike and Greg go over Greg's recent trip to Walt Disney World. When the dust settled, the time on the clock showed that we recorded for three hours. So this is part 1 of 3. We will post another part in a couple days.
Greg's Pre-Trip Report
August 24, 2006 11:33 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBMike talks Greg into going over his Rusty Scupper planning tool so we can hear what Greg plans to do (well, eat) during his upcoming trip to WDW. They are doing this purely as an experiment to see how close or far-off Greg's trip will be from his plan.
Disney Dads
August 20, 2006 08:15 - 1 hour - 38.2 MBOn a suggestion from The Meandering Mouse (Jeff from Houston), Greg and Mike discuss their various methods for visiting Disney parks with kids. This show is tangent heavy (even for us) and clocks in at 1 hour 35 minutes.
Cast Member Comparison, Part 2
August 15, 2006 12:45 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBThis is the second half of the Cast Member Comparison show with "Earl" from Trapped on Vacation. No more F-Bombs from "Earl" either.
Mail Bag #3
August 09, 2006 21:50 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBGreg and Mike read listener e-mails and do their best to answer the questions contained therein. They cover a wide range of topics from most disappointing attraction to Disneyland's new President.
Cast Member Comparison, Part 1
August 04, 2006 12:37 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBMike and Greg want to compare Disneyland Cast Members to WDW Cast Members. They enlist the help of current WDW Cast Member "Earl" from Trapped on Vacation. This discussion takes over two hours so it has been split in half to save on bandwidth. Oh, and "Earl" drops an F-Bomb that goes uncensored.
PodFest Planning
July 27, 2006 12:35 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBMike and Greg lure an unsuspecting Brad from Bringing Disneyland Home into the studio to help him plan his trip to WDW for PodFest. Since Brad is a West-Coaster who has never been to WDW, your hosts wanted to make sure he got the best advice possible. This is a long one - 1 hour 47 minutes.
Lousy with Lucasfilm
July 21, 2006 12:47 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBMike and Greg make a comparison between the attractions based on Lucasfilm properties and Pixar. They then try to determine if the Lucasfilm "Invasion" would get more resistance now than it did back then.
Enough with the Nostalgia Already!
July 13, 2006 13:29 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBMike and Greg start off by complaining about the cry for Disneyland Nostalgia floating around the internet and end up discussing their own nostalgiac views.
ECV's and Apathetic Cast Members
July 04, 2006 14:12 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBHappy 4th of July! Greg and Mike talk about Greg's run-in with an ECV piloted by Jack A**. We have live audio of the event and it is definitely for mature audiences only.
Anything BUT Pirates!
June 28, 2006 00:43 - 1 hour - 36.4 MBGreg and Mike take their show into Disneyland to give the re-habbed Pirates attraction a MiceCast once-over. Their efforts are stymied by the attraction "going 101". Which means it broke down. With your hosts just two boats away from loading. Disneyland ended up closing the ride for the rest of the night. Yeah, we were NOT happy. 1 hour 31 minutes.
Listener Voicemails
June 23, 2006 04:26 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBGreg and Mike play a couple of listener voicemails and respond to a request. Plus tangents galore and an adult beverage.
Rants and Tangents
June 18, 2006 12:17 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBGreg and Mike return from the interviewing circuit and make an attempt to get back to podcasting MiceCast style. The results are about what you'd expect; some ranting and a few tangents. Okay, a lot of tangents.

To Sponsor? Or Not To Sponsor?
May 23, 2006 11:28 - 47 minutes - 28.6 MBGreg and Mike examine Corporate Sponsorship's role in bringing new attractions to light. Plus, whether or not that role has expaned to the point where the sponsor has too much influence. Also, the listener needs to beware of the return of the F-Bomb (one guess who's responsible).
MiceCast, Seinfeld Style.
May 18, 2006 13:59 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBGreg and Mike come back from another break and talk about pin trading, the Haunted Mansion changes, and finally play some listener voice mails. Also, Mike talks little about what he was up to while he was away.
What's up with Mission: Space?
May 05, 2006 23:03 - 58 minutes - 28.6 MBGreg and Mile come back from a break just in time to comment on Disney's decision to offer a toned-down version of Mission: Space. Then their tangents take them on a discussion of what exactly Greg was up to while he was away.

Show Prep? What's That?!
March 30, 2006 13:59 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBYour hosts give you a rare behind-the-scenes look at how they choose their show topic. Then they go about trying to answer the question: Can Walt Disney World be overdeveloped?
Sacred Cows Revisited
March 27, 2006 12:53 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBYour hosts revisit their first show and revise their definition of what constitutes a "sacred cow"; something that can NEVER be changed.
Disneyland Tomorrowland - MiceCast Style
March 22, 2006 23:41 - 57 minutes - 28.6 MBGreg and Mike go over the news from Al Lutz at MiceAge about the changes coming to Tomorrowland at Disneyland. Which in turn leads them to giving their ideas on how to improve this much neglected area.
Mail Bag #2
March 20, 2006 00:29 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBGreg and Mike read some listener mail which leads them to discussing what to do about Disney's California Adventure. Part DCA travelogue and part re-imagineering, the boys flounder about intheir usual fashion in search of an answer.
Will EPCOT look as good as you did at 25?
March 16, 2006 14:26 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBGreg and Mike talk about the shabby condition of EPCOT as it approaches its 25th birthday. They take a detailed building-by-building look and explain their opinion on what needs some sprucing up or where themeing has gone awry.
Can all four WDW parks keep you for a whole day?
March 12, 2006 13:40 - 51 minutes - 28.6 MBGreg, Mike, and Rich spend some time analyzing this very question. They agree on all but one park. Tune in to find out which one. Also, don't forget to check out the Disney Podcast Network. There you will find a fun assortment of podcasts covering a wide range of topics.
