Livelyland Is Your Land

January 10, 2022 03:59 - 1 hour - 77.2 MB

So, after 7 years of "Hey, you should come on my Podcast", and 7 years of "Who is this again? Kyle who?" We finally got Skipper Kevin Lively aboard. Famed as a Disneyland Skipper, Imagineer, and baby shampoo model, this chap has stories for years as we begin the first in our 10 episode series of 90 minute episodes, to be followed up with a 3 hour Marvel studios movie. It's amazing times to be a content.  But, seriously, Kevin is one of my best friends and he recently moved on from his role ...

Live(ish) From The Red Carpet: S08 E05

July 29, 2021 20:41 - 23 minutes - 21.2 MB

Hey there Skips and Skipperettes! How ya doing? We hope you're well, and in the mood for some chatting about the Jungle Cruise movie. We've sort of been laying in wait for this big event, and to re-energize some of the great discussions about the movie and about our beloved ride. We are getting a lot of new listeners now, so it's time to get back into Jungle Mode. And what better way to do it than from the Red Carpet at the World Premiere?  Well, had they let me bring a microphone, I would...

The Butterfly Effect: S08 E04

February 07, 2021 20:55 - 54 minutes - 49.7 MB

So this week (month, year... time is a meaningless construct during Covid times) on the podcast we welcome Skipper Joey to the pod. Joey hosts a fun postcast called Laugh it up Fuzzball, and was also a contemporary Skipper and my 3rd (4th?) Trainer on the Jungle Cruise boat ride. So, it was just time to have a friend on the show, get a little footloose, and chat about his time with Disney, but also some of the new changes on the ride. 

Skippers and Mental Health: S08 E03

January 26, 2021 16:14 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MB

Hey there, Adventurers! Welcome back! So, 2020 was a challenging year, and it was particularly hard on Skippers. As performers and actors, we have a very different make up, and being away from our Jungle has caused a lot of mental health issues. This week we chat with Adrienne MacIain, the host of "That's Aloud", an excellent podcast on creating your own personal story, and getting your experiences out into the world. She is a fantastic author, and she has great experiences with mental heal...

Merry XMas... and the annual re-running of our XMas episode

December 25, 2020 03:57 - 20 minutes - 19.2 MB

So, early on in the life of the podcast, I had this great idea. What if I did fictionalized radio serials of the adventures of some of the types of stories I would make up in my head... and I did. And the Jungle Crews Radio Plays were born. 8 episodes that are some of the proudest things I've done around the Jungle. Every year I take a few moments and replay the 8th and final episode, our Xmas episode. Skipper Gary London and Skippy get into some incredible holiday hijinx, and I love this e...

Coming Out Of Podcast Quarantine; S08 E01

October 09, 2020 20:07 - 1 hour - 58.2 MB

Hey there, Adventurers! 2020 has been, well... you know. But we are now all set up with our new SkipCast Broadcasting Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, and we're putting together new content for you in this tumultuous time... This episode we get to meet and chat with Skipper John Rose, a Skip at Disneyland from 1991 to 1996, and a little extra bonus from 2001-2003. We had a fantastic time getting our wheels back on the ground and chatting about his time as Adventureland was going through the chan...

The Quarantine Update Episode: S07 E07

July 16, 2020 21:08 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MB

Hey there, Adventurers! This episode is a 20 minute "catch up" on what's been happening with the podcast, the ride, the merch, the pandemic, and Skipper Kyle. It's a non-interview episode where Kyle just chats at the microphone. So, be forewarned. Keep in touch with us, more episodes coming as we get them put together. (So, our normal thing we've been doing for 8 years)

Once Upon A Gruber; S07 E06

May 04, 2020 19:11 - 48 minutes - 44.6 MB

Hey there, Adventurekateers! Your old pal Skipper Kyle here, with another episode of Skippertainment for you, to help keep you through these quarantined times... Today we are going to chat with a contemporary of mine, and someone I've been trying to get onto the show for a few years. Like 8. Skipper Jon Gruber! Jon was a Skipper, Trainer, and Lead in the late 00's to early Teens, and he was always a positive and energetic force on the docks. I loved working with him, and thought he would ha...

TFJC Live Show; S07 E05

April 12, 2020 23:04 - 44 minutes - 40.9 MB

Hey there, Quarantined Adventurers! We have something a little different for this week's episode. We took "calls" from Jungle Cruise Skips from around the world, and gave them a chance to tell their own stories. If you want to be part of the next round of this, send your 5-7 minute audio clip to [email protected]. We've got more Skippertainment coming to you in the weeks ahead, and we hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

30 Years of WDW Greatness; S07 E04

March 09, 2020 03:51 - 54 minutes - 50 MB

Howdy, everyone! It's been a rough and wild holiday season and start to the new year. I forgot how working retail drains me during Thanksgiving/Xmas, and how no one wants to record podcasts during that time.  Well, we are back in the swing of things, and have interviews set for the next few weeks. This one is a special one that took us a solid 2.5 years to set up. Skipper Jeff Lessel has been on my "get list" since 2015 or so, and I was so happy when he became available to record with us. F...

Chuck Tales, WOO HOO!; S07 E03

December 12, 2019 20:01 - 57 minutes - 48.1 MB

Well, it took us a bit, but we're finally back and running at full steam. Well, half steam? Sort of a teakettle full of steam. Either way, we're bringing you new episodes. This episode we chat with Skipper Chuck, perhaps the only Muppet ever to be a Jungle Cruise Skipper. He worked in Orlando at the end of the 90's, and he brought his friend Skipper Brian Lynch with him.  Now, this was originally a video podcast on YouTube, but we just dropped the audio here for your amusement. Should you ...

RERUN: All Good Things, S06 E13

November 17, 2019 16:31 - 17 minutes - 16.2 MB

Two years ago we wrapped up the podcast and season 6 with my looking back over the prior 6 years of Skippertainment. This is the last episode in our "Rerun Recap", which has been going on since I rejoined Disney in 2017. After this I don't have any excuses, and we'll be bringing you new episodes and content soon.  Thanks for all the continuing support. It's going to be an exciting year of Jungle Cruise movies and news, and we're going to be bringing you some great stories. Kungaloosh! Ski...

RERUN: Goodbye Mr Kipps; S06 E12

October 26, 2019 19:53 - 1 hour - 61.7 MB

So, the TFJC podcast is back, but we've got 2 more "rerun episodes" to put in your ear-holes while we get some new content together. This one is sort of an ironic episode, because when I recorded it Kipp had just left the Jungle while I had just decided to come back. Now, I've just left, and Kipp is back as a Skipper. Still, Kipp is one of the best Skips I've ever worked with, and one of the best human beings as well. An enjoyable chat with him, and more good stuff is coming soon. Originall...

Jungle Crews: The Return; S07 E01

October 07, 2019 14:00 - 1 hour - 76.9 MB

Well, hey there Skips and Skipperettes from all across the wild and untamed lands known only as Internetland. Welcome back to Tales from the Jungle Cruise. What a long, strange trip it's been. Two years back in the Jungle at Disneyland, and now I've parted ways again with a place that means so much to me. It was a tough decision, and a lot of people had asked me questions about my time back at the park, the state of the podcast, the Jungle Cruise movie, and so many other questions. I invite...

RERUN: Adventures in Fandom, pt 2; S06 E11

October 02, 2019 01:41 - 58 minutes - 53.3 MB

Sorry for the long delay... Here's the second part of our conversation with Skipper Leo Camacho... We're busy "backstage" unpacking all the stuff around SkipCast HQ, getting ready to bring you another wave of Skippertainment.  Skipper Kyle, busy as hell and loving it. 

RERUN: Adventures in Fandom, pt 1; S06 E10

September 13, 2019 20:57 - 51 minutes - 47.4 MB

So, the guest from these next two episodes has really seen his career explode in the 2 years since we recorded with him. From being a host of a nationally broadcast video game show to being a visible brand ambassador and influencer within the world of fandom, Skipper Leo Camacho has really seen his stars on the rise. But even though his time at the WFJC was a short one, his takes on cosplay, the Disney Fandom, and Disney media has been insightful and he was a lovely guest on the show. We on...

RERUN: Adult Onset Adultness; S06 E09

August 24, 2019 20:39 - 1 hour - 58 MB

So, my time at Disney has again come to an end. The Jungle will go on without me, and the Podcast is returning soon. We've just got a few old episodes to recap, and we'll be back with new content. This one is a sad one for me. Skipper Andrew Petersen was a friend, and a beloved Jungle colleague. Andrew passed a year ago, and none of us have been the same since. He was a huge part of our lives in the last 10 years of Adventureland, and I was so glad to have had an hour of his time to put ont...

RERUN: Nostalgia Cricket, pt 2; S06 E08

August 11, 2019 20:58 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MB

Hey there, Adventurers! Glad to see you're still aboard, or ashore, or wherever you are. So much stuff to go over. After 2 glorious years back at the Jungle Cruise, my time in a boat is ending. This coming Friday will be my last day with Disney, likely for the last time. That means new episodes are planned and in the works, but it may take me a little bit of time to get traction and get rolling again. Luckily, I have 3 more rerun episodes to go, and that will buy me some time. Thanks for h...

RERUN: Nostalgia Cricket, pt 1: S06 E07

July 27, 2019 20:02 - 35 minutes - 32.8 MB

Hard to believe that we're nearly at the end of our rerun lovefest, and we're just around the corner from new episodes.  This week we are re-running our time with Tony Goldmark, of the "Some Jerk With A Camera" Vlog, and theme park connoisseur. The first of 2 episodes where we chat about the state of the theme parks, particularly Disney and Universal.  Originally Published January 23rd, 2017 It's really rare that we have a non-Skipper on the show. But, we occasionally get the chance to ha...

RERUN: Skippers and Happy Hour, pt 2; S06 E06

July 19, 2019 16:40 - 40 minutes - 37 MB

I'd love to say that after 8 years, I can stick to a weekly schedule, even with reruns, but this last week was a doozie for me. So, here's the second half of my chat with Katherine and Matt from the WDW Happy Hour Podcast  Originally Published January 19th, 2017 Hey Adventurers! A little early from us, but never too much good Jungle stuff... We have a lot in the pipeline, so we wanted to put out this episode a little early so we can make sure next Tuesday's episode is good to go before our...

RERUN: Skippers and Happy Hour, S06 E05

July 02, 2019 19:17 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MB

One of the great thing about the last 8 years of Skippertainment is that I've been a guest on so many podcasts, sharing my Jungle Cruise stories. One of those great moments was January 2017, and the WDW Happy Hour podcast. Matt and Katherine have become not only great Jungle Cruise supporters, but great friends. We do a lot of cross pollination of our podcasts, and their podcast is one of only 2-3 Disney podcasts that I listen regularly to. They do a great job, have fun discussions, and nice...

RERUN: Skipper Stories, S06 E04

June 26, 2019 15:07 - 37 minutes - 34.2 MB

Here's the part where I go "holy crap, I've known Dave Marley for nearly 17 years...". We're still doing our reruns for the time being until we get all the old episodes out there, but this one is a special one. The author of "Skipper Stories", "Skipper Stories 2, Electric Boogaloo", and "Really, Even More Skipper Stories?" sat down with us to chat about his time at the Jungle, the pantsless life of a Professor, and writing a book about the place we all have grown to love. Originally Publish...

Holy Crap, A New Episode! S06.5 E01

June 05, 2019 16:40 - 31 minutes - 29.3 MB

Well, after 2 years, we have a new episode... sort of. I mean, it is new, but it's not strictly a Jungle or interview episode. Hi there, I'm Skipper Kyle, and I'd like to announce the return of Tales from the Jungle Crews. My time with Disney is coming to an end in a few months, and with that, I am able to start producing some new content again. This episode is a in-betweener from Season 6 to Season 7, as I take you through my experiences at the Black Spire Outpost at Galaxy's Edge, and giv...

RERUN: Bag of Worms, S06 E03

May 28, 2019 20:42 - 55 minutes - 50.6 MB

Back in 2016 we had a Kickstarter going for our 2nd card game "King of the Skippers", and we had a couple of recent Jungle expats from Disneyland (and cute as hell lovebirds) on the show to talk about their recent time at Jungle in 2015-2016. So, jump back into the very recent past and enjoy our time with Skipper Kelsey and Skipper Dave. Originally Published September 5th, 2016 Wooh Golly! What a couple of weeks we have had. Our Kickstarter is off and running, and we are well on our way to...

RERUN: The Curse of Super Successful Sean, S06 E02

May 17, 2019 21:25 - 1 hour - 63.3 MB

The reruns keep on coming... This week we chat with Skipper Matt Gambino, and talk about WDW and its college program, and how to turn your time at the Jungle Cruise into a successful career.  Oh, and... Season 7 kicks off the first week of July! Looking forward to being back in front of your ears on a regular basis. Skipper Kyle Originally Released On August 23rd, 2016 Hey Skips and Skipperettes!  Season 6 is here, and we're in the swing of our Fall Kickstarter. Starting August 26th, we...

RERUN: Season 5 recap and Kickstarter Announcement!: S06 E01

May 02, 2019 20:10 - 9 minutes - 8.54 MB

We're down to the last dozen episodes and season 6, then lots of fun new things are in the works. I'm going to be making those announcements as May comes toward a close. I mean, there's nothing else that is happening at Disneyland around the end of the month, right? This episode is probably a little bit inconsequential to the catalog, but I'm including it for completeness. It's a recap of Season 5, details of my trip to Disney Paris, and info on our Kickstarter game "King of the Skippers". ...

RERUN: Two A-Peeling Skippers, pt 2; S05 E23

April 25, 2019 18:49 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MB

So, this rerun episode wraps up the 5th season of the TFJC podcast. The second half of our episode with Skipper Freddy Martin and Skipper Jeff Bailes. We had a great time with this, and you can see the greatness that is Freddy Martin as he takes his first podcast steps.  Originally Published June 6th, 2016 Hey Adventurers! Summer Vacation is here, and the podcast will be in re-runs for the next 5 weeks. To keep you entertained, we have one last new episode, the second half of our time wit...

RERUN: Two A-Peeling Skippers, pt 1; S05 E22

April 18, 2019 16:25 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MB

What can I say about Freddy Martin? This guy has blown up and has become a major presence in the Disneysphere recently. He hosts a podcast called The Themed Attraction podcast where he interviews Imagineers and designers of the places we love to play. (Search for it on all your Podcast providers.) He's been involved in the recent Adventureland Days, and he is an incredibly pleasant chap. He brought Skipper Jeff Bailes with him and we had a lovely picnic in the park and recalled their days at...

RERUN: Swimming Against The River, pt 2; S05 E21

April 10, 2019 18:07 - 41 minutes - 37.6 MB

This week is the second half of our chat with Skipper Larry Kaml. It also has what is perhaps the greatest single and most requested Jungle Cruise story that we have ever had recorded on the show. This episode is, in some ways, the "most essential" listening of any of our episodes. Genuinely hope you all enjoy... Originally Released May 9th, 2016 Our first episode with Skipper Larry Kaml set records for it's first week, and we're expecting the second half of his episode to do the same. Thi...

RERUN: Swimming Against The River, pt 1; S05 E20

March 25, 2019 19:54 - 43 minutes - 40 MB

When we started the podcast, Skipper Larry Kaml was one of those guests we never thought we could get. He was a heavy personality for years in the Jungle, and his devotion around the time of the Narrations program was the stuff of legends. After a few seasons of showing him what we were about, I got to drive up and sit down at his dining room table and listen to his stories. Some of the best of the Jungle is about to go into your ear-holes, so I hope you enjoy... Originally Published April ...

RERUN: Catching Up With The Skipperette; S05 E19

March 19, 2019 18:04 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MB

First of all, there is no episode 18 in season 5. It's an April Fools prank we did, so we didn't want to mess up our numbering system. Skipperette Jen Chavez is one of the best people I know, and she's back at the WFJC. (Seems like we all get brought back into the fold eventually.) She has been instrumental in all of our Facebook content, and has contributed a lot to the podcast. We are so excited to have her around, and this was her second episode on the podcast. Originally Published Apri...

RERUN: The Surprise Prize; S05 E17

March 11, 2019 17:23 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MB

So, 3 years ago we did a Kickstarter for a little card game called "Jungle Rummy". We have wound up selling 500 copies, which wasn't bad for our first foray into game design. It still plays well, and I am really happy with how the art turned out.  As part of the game, we did a backer reward for a pair of TFJC fans, and they got to share their Jungle memories and be a part of the podcast. It was a lot of fun, and we hope you enjoy... Originally Published March 22nd, 2016 So, if you've been...

RERUN: The Double Derail, pt 2; S05 E16

February 27, 2019 20:44 - 44 minutes - 40.4 MB

The second half of our chat with Skippers Amanda Taylor and Skipper Kellie York...    Originally Published March 7th, 2016 Two weeks ago we got a whole lotta love for our two Skippers, Skipper Amanda Taylor and Skipper Kellie Pitts(York). Well, as promised, here is the second half of that episode with these two lovely ladies. As I warned you the last time, this episode has a LOT more of me geeking out and being a fanboy than usual, and these amazing Skips are the reason why. I loved catch...

RERUN: The Double Derail, pt 1; S05 E15

February 27, 2019 20:43 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MB

It's crazy that we're at this point in the podcast. I've been back at the Jungle Cruise for over a year now, and we're back to the episode with my original trainer from 2003. Skipper Amanda Taylor was one of my big influences in how I started in the Jungle, and Skipper Kellie York was an incredibly popular and well thought of Skip from the era just before mine. I had such a good time chatting with them, and although this episode has a little bit more in-chatting and references that are speci...

RERUN: Rai Know What You Did Last Summer; S05 E14

February 22, 2019 02:55 - 53 minutes - 48.8 MB

We still keep cranking out the hits, and it's hard to believe that this has been 3 years since I met Skipper Raisa. The only Skip I've known who has worked at all 6 US parks, and who has had such an amazing story to tell about her times with the company. She's super fun, and I'm always so happy when our paths cross. I hope you all enjoy... So much going on at the SkipCast headquarters, can't wait to share all the news with you in March. (No clue when, still putting things together, lots of ...

RERUN: Three Waterlogged Skippers; S05 E13

February 09, 2019 19:29 - 52 minutes - 48.5 MB

It's been a rainy start of the year in Southern California, and it reminds me of the time 3 years ago when I sat down with a pair of great Skips and we talked Jungle of yesteryear. Skipper Jeff Rhoads returned to the podcast with Skipper Tom Halligan and we talked a very interesting bit of Disney history with some really unique twists and turns for this podcast. Oh, and it was raining. Cats and dogs. So, some good throwbacks to the rainstorms and Jungle trips of the past...  Originally Publ...

RERUN: The Weather Report; S05 E12

January 30, 2019 17:46 - 54 minutes - 49.7 MB

Greetings Adventurers, and welcome back to "We're still doing Reruns"... but we're getting ready for the relaunch of new content. Just a lot of life happening as we ramp up and get interviews scheduled.  In the mean time, enjoy this rerun of our time with Skipper Rob Ferre. A fantastic WDW Skip with a flair for self promotion and a great bunch of stories about the Orlando rivers. It was a pleasure having him on the show. Originally Published January 12th, 2016 Happy New Year, Adventurers....

RERUN: An Upstanding Skipper; S05 E11

January 24, 2019 04:19 - 1 hour - 56.9 MB

Hey there, Adventurekateers... Welcome back! We're still in rerun land, but not for much longer. This episode was Skipper Alex Elkin, who had just come through town for a stand-up gig, and we were able to get him on Skype to record an episode of the podcast. He's a great comic, and a well remembered Skip by those who worked with him. I hope you all enjoy! Originally Published December 1st, 2015 Hey Skips! It's the Holiday season again, and that means it's time for our annual 2 month break....

RERUN: A Script For The Ages, pt 2; S05 E10

January 17, 2019 03:43 - 48 minutes - 44.3 MB

Well, 2019 is here, and so much is happening at the Disney parks, the Jungle Cruise, and for me in my life. It's an exciting year, filled with lots of new stuff. We have a ton of new products at our Skipper Store on TeePublic. It's super exciting, and I'll work on keeping everyone up to speed on all the big Jungle and Skipper Kyle news. It's strange that I've been back to the Jungle for a full year now. It's amazing how time goes by so fast. This is the second half of our episode with Skipp...

RERUN: A Script For The Ages, pt 1; S05 E09

January 02, 2019 23:42 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MB

So, when we look at our podcast run, we had a lot of Skips from the 00's, and decent representation from almost every era, but only a couple of people from the late 60's. Skipper Joel Halbestadt was one of them, and he was very influential in the time going into the 1970's and in doing some of the first cohesive script editing and input. Most of the jokes that you use today probably had their beginnings in Joel's era. It was a really fascinating conversation, and one that I am definitely gla...

RERUN: Jungle Crews Radio Play XMas Episode

December 19, 2018 21:32 - 20 minutes - 19.2 MB

It's that time of year again... time for the yearly "Republishing of the XMas episode". The TFJC Radio Play Xmas episode is one of the favorite things I've done related to the Jungle Cruise, and it's one of the things I get asked most about. Trevor Kelly and Joey Hurley join me for another dive into the world of the Jungle Cruise and it's Skippers. This is a big XMas tradition celebrating it's 5th anniversary... enjoy, and Hippo Holidays!

RERUN: A Broom With A View; S05 E08

December 05, 2018 20:25 - 49 minutes - 45.3 MB

One of the best things about doing a podcast is that I got to meet and develop friendships with the hosts of other Disney podcasts. The ones that became my closest friends are the guys at The Sweep Spot, a podcast hosted by a pair of custodial CM's who have really turned it into something. They get amazing guests, and they put out a book with their experiences working at Disneyland. They joined us on the show for an episode that was a lot of fun, and gave a different view of working at the M...

RERUN: David Koenig's Lawsuitland, pt 2; S05 E07

November 27, 2018 03:40 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MB

And... here's the second half of our interview with David Koenig as we talk lawyers, mice, and the joys of the Jungle... Originally uploaded October 6th, 2015 We're back, and this week we're bringing you part 2 of our sit down with famed author David Koenig, author of the new "The People vs Disneyland" book, which details the lawsuits that have made Disneyland what it is today. It's a really engaging read, and as always David is an exciting guest. I really enjoy his insights into the parks...

RERUN: David Koenig's Lawsuitland, pt 1; S05 E06

November 27, 2018 03:39 - 43 minutes - 39.4 MB

One of the best things about doing this podcast has been getting to know David Koenig. One of the few non-Skippers on the pod, but definitely has the pedigree to talk about Disney. His books were formative in the way I viewed the company, and his latest book "The People v Disneyland" was no exception. This was a fascinating interview where we talked about the way that lawyers shape the Disney experience, and the way it permeates into every crack of the theme parks.  (also, this episode mark...

RERUN: The Darling of the Jungle, pt 2: S05 E05

November 01, 2018 22:18 - 42 minutes - 39.2 MB

And... here's the second part of our interview with Skipper Danielle Ernest. (We are still working to be on track to have all of our reruns finished by the end of the year.) Originally Published September 8th, 2015 This week we finish up our conversation with Skipper Danielle Ernest, and her unconventional way she found her way into the Jungle... We had a lot of fun chatting, and her website (DisneyDarlings.net) is absolutely a fantastic blog.   We also chat a bunch at the start of our po...

RERUN: The Darling of the Jungle, pt 1; S05 E04

November 01, 2018 22:17 - 51 minutes - 47.1 MB

So much happening out there in Podcast land... We're going to put up a few new episodes today, and I'll be off air for a week or so while I head out of the country with the wife. Exciting times in Australia!  Our online store, the Skipper Store, is getting beefed up with a lower cost shirt selection over at TeePublic. It will take us a bit to get it up and running, but it's going to change the costs our shirts are offered at dramatically. We are also working on new Xmas cards for the season...

RERUN: Sullivan's Travels; S05 E03

October 17, 2018 17:35 - 1 hour - 60.5 MB

When I make a list of my top 5 episodes that we have produced, this one is definitely in it. We get to speak to Disney Legend Bill "Sully" Sullivan. Sully was a fixture at Disneyland as an original 1955 Skipper, and transitioned to a position working closely to Walt on projects like the Squaw Valley Olympic Games and the 1964 Worlds Fair. He then became the first operating Manager of both Magic Kingdom and Epcot. He's an amazing person, and it all started with his time in the Jungle.. 

RERUN: A Stand Up Gal, pt 2; S05 E02

October 10, 2018 21:15 - 40 minutes - 36.7 MB
