Slacker City!

Hey guys!

I am SO SORRY about my slacker like qualities over these past couple of weeks. I know I should be posting show notes every week, but it's not working the way I planned. I am working on finding another way of doing the show notes, perhaps a way that is a little less complicated..so bear with me!

Thanks again!

Katie

Update on Episode 9

Episode 7-September 9, 2009

This week's show bring a ton of exictment as Lou Mongello from The WDW Radio Show joins us on the show. We put Lou through some difficult trivia questions, as well as find out some more about the man behind the Walt Disney World Trivia books, The Audio Guides to Walt Disney World and Celebrations Magazine. We would like to thank Lou for coming on the show and we are looking forward to having him on the show again.

We also talk about our upcoming trip to WDW in October and Katie finally brings the news for the first time since Episode 1.
**********************************************************************

I'm officially back! I had so much fun with this weeks show..it was so exicting! I finally got to record again, not only with Shawn but with Lou Mongello! I originally though recording with Lou was going to be really scary, because I thought of Lou as an intimidating guy! I'm dead serious! But, honestly he is the nicest guy! Keep checking back, because I'm sure we'll have Lou back on the show very soon.

Thanks again for listening, stay tuned for the next episode!

Episode 6- September 2, 2009

This weeks episode brings a little something for everyone. Shawn starts off the show with a fun intro, then leads into some huge news that everyone is reporting about. He ends the show with a a segment about Disney World trip planning. The show was short, yet to the point, just the way we like it. Katie WILL be back, so don't worry!

************************
I feel like the biggest slacker! The show came out TUESDAY MORNING and I'm just NOW doing the show notes! But yes, I WILL be back next week, and you all better be back too because we got a really super amazing fantastic guest. Who? Well..you MAY know him...or heard of him. You may not have SEEN him..but he's here, there and EVERYWHERE!

Okay Okay, enough with the short jokes. Our guest for next week is everybody's favorite trivia master, Lou Mongello, host of the WDW Radio Show and author of the Walt Disney World Trivia Books and the Audio Guides to Walt Disney World. I'm not going to give too much away in terms of what we talked about, heck, I haven't heard the segment yet! But I'm sure you are all going to love it.

Just an update, I have moved back to school and am currently running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Well..not exactly, but I AM very busy. I decided to head home for the long weekend to gather my thoughts (and to do some homework). It is a whole lot easier to record for the show, mostly because I actually have a DESK to sit at! It's all quite exicting because who podcasts from the floor of their bedroom? *Pfft!*.

Thanks everyone for the continuing support with the show, we really appreciate it!

Episode 5- August 26, 2009

Due to personal problems, Katie was unable to be on the show this week. Shawn brought Matt Hochberg from the WDW Today Podcast and Studios Central along for the ride for some news. Katie did appear in a prerecorded segement about upcoming concerts at the House of Blues Orlando and Shawn ended the show with a end of summer wrap up.

******
Helllo!

I decided to keep up with the blog (and occasionally tweet on the Twitter account) in order to keep myself in the mix. I listened to this weeks show and I laughed..HARD. Matt did a great job and I will forever be in his debt for filling in for me. Matt has become a great friend of the show and we hope to have him on again soon!

I will also not be on next weeks show either, due to the fact that recording will take place as I frantically try and pack for my move in day at school. I WILL be on the following week, so stick with us.

As always keep listening and checking back!

An Important Announcement

Hi everyone:

Due to some personal things that have come up, I am going to be taking a personal leave of absence from the show until I get things sorted out. I am going to be setting Shawn up with the blog so he can keep you guys updated until I am ready to come back.

Thanks everyone

A Long List of Things

Or not so long list.
Lets see how far I get before I start forgetting what else I'm supposed to day.

So! Shawn and I are relaxing in a hotel in Manchester, NH after an incredibly fun night. We decided to make the trip to see my good friend Brian Bergeron play a show at a local bar. Twas a ton of awesome fun.

I have decided (and I'm sure Shawn will agree) that the show needs to be heavily listener involved, much like the Netcot podcast and All About the Mouse (and of course many others). By that, I hope to find out from you guys what you want to hear. From music, to show segements, we want to know what you would like us to put in a future show. If you don't like the news music and want it changed for one episode, let us know and give us suggestions.

Also, we are working on getting some super cool Disney guests (well right now, it's super cool podcasters) and we want to know what could be some potiental things that we could talk about. We also want to read your questions (we will eventually be able to set up a Skype voicemail or something along that line) so you guys can send us a voicemail.

As anticipated, I totally forgot what I was going to say.
So as always, keep checking back.

Email: waltcast2009@yahoo.com

Episode 4-August 19, 2009

This week's episode may sound a little off, and Shawn explains why (right at the beginning). Ok, I lied, it sounds WAY off.

This weeks episode features the news, rehabs and closures and a little bit about those two strange people that have been talking to you for the last four episodes.

If you would like any of the news that we talk about on WaltCast, send us an email at waltcast2009@yahoo.com and we'll do our best to FIND the link, which we will then send right over to you! Yes, find the link. Both of us are NOT very organized, especially me (Katie) and we try and send each other the links to the news stories just in case we need them or future reference or if someone asks for them.

Today is the BIG WaltCast debut on Reedy Creek Radio, which you can find over on Live 365. We are super excited for the big debut at 10am EST, as well as an encore (so I can hear it haha) at 7pm EST. We will be starting with this episode (episode four) and every Friday, they will be playing the most recent one. No word if the encore will always be at 7pm, but I guess we'll just have to rate and see. Also, if you like what you hear over on Live 365, rate the station!

I have decided to open up my personal twitter account to the listeners. Don't worry, it's all family friendly, minus a few swears here and there. If you follow me, don't worry, I'll follow you back! You can find me at twitter.com/katie8187 (username to change on a regular basis).

As always check us out on our host site, podbean at:

Just Sticking my Neck In for a Quick..

Helllooo!

Good morning everyone:) I thought I'd just say a quick hello to all of you guys as I get ready for another eventful (or not so eventful) morning of babysitting 7 week old twins. Just to let you all know (just in case you haven't listened to this weeks show) that Shawn's birthday is today! He is turning 24 today and I will be reminding him of that constantly when I see him later today:)

The show notes will be up either today or sometime tomorrow. They WILL be up before Friday, because Shawn and I are going to New Hampshire to see a good friend of mine, a musician, play a gig. I would totally send you over to his website/myspace/facebook/twitter/whatever else, but he doesn't know I'm a podcaster and I'm sure he might be weirded out by the sudden influx of fans.

As always, keep checking back.
We have some fun stuff in the works, including a segement on a super cool iPhone/iPod touch app that is based on one of MY favorite rides!

Stay cool (especially in this heat if you have it. If you don't, a) you're lucky and b) do you want to take it from us?)

-Katie

Combined Show Notes: Episodes 2+3

Horray! After some technical difficulties, we finally have been able to post Episode 3! As promised, I am going to combine the show notes from this weeks episode as well as the notes from Episode 2.

Show Notes for Episode 2

We have a slightly longer show this week, which is always a good thing when you’re starting out. We would like to thank Bryan Ripper from the All About the Mouse podcast for helping us out on the news this week. You can find him at allaboutthemouse.com. Shawn also does a goofy Billy Mays inspired Universal Studios promo (yes, THAT park *shudders*). Though we did not have a lot of stuff this week, stay with us because we have a lot planned!

Many thanks to Bryan Ripper for his help on the news. We had a ton of fun recording with him and can not wait to have him back on the show.

Show Notes for Episode 3

Welcome to the third episode of WaltCast! Thanks to better planning, we have a longer show this week! We start off with the news and there is plenty of it this week. Katie also goes “plug happy” and plugs every Disney Podcast that she listens to. We had a very interesting recording session for the show and hopefully it shows.


I am still trying to find a good format for the show notes. Once I get into the swing of things, I'll be able to post the notes in a more organized fashion. We are going to start doing weekly episodes starting with Episode 4, which is going to be released next Wednesday, August 19th.

As always, keep checking back here for any up to the minute news about the show, as well as any Disney news that we may find interesting.

-Katie

Uh Ohhhh

Hey guys!

Normally, it being a Wednesday, I would have the show notes all ready to go. Unfortunatly, we are having some difficulties with our host site and are unable to upload/publish this weeks episode:( We are working to resolve the problem and will try and have it fixed by tomorrow.

Keep checking back and bear with us.

-Katie

I Tried to Come up with a Kitchy Title, but Failed

Hellooooo WaltCasters!

I finally have my laptop back, all restored and (like) brand-new. I'm currently sitting on my bedroom floor getting reaquainted with my email and whatnot, and also waiting for a phone call from Shawn. Why? Well, I wasnt't supposed to be involved with this weeks show, because I didn't think I was going to be able to record anything. He was going to have Bryan Ripper from All About the Mouse help him out on the news (which is usually my domain) in place of me. Turns out, the phone call I am waiting for is the 'all systems go for launch' for the skype call that I am going to be on with Shawn and Bryan. So, a heads up (because I HAD to let the cat out of the bag) to all you listeners that Bryan Ripper WILL be on the show this week!

I'm pretty excited, and you all should be too! The show will be out Wednesday and you may hear my voice a little more than expected!

Keep checking back!

-Katie

Just Because

Hey everyone:

I thought I would drop by and give ya'll a quick update on the goings on over here at WaltCast. We've gotten some great feedback on the show, from new listeners and Disney podcasters. On the most recent episode of All About the Mouse, we got TWO!! shoutouts from Bryan and Jonathan. One was at the end of the show, and the other was in their show notes. Thanks guys! We've also gotten some awesome hits on the blog, as well as on our host site Podbean. We couldn't be more greatful that people are taking the time to listen to the show, even though the first episode was under three minutes.

We are in the process of planning out our next show, which we hope to release next Wednesday. You might not hear too much of me, because my laptop has decided to hate me. It is a Windows Vista related problem and I am in the process of backing up everything in prepreation to restore the laptop. I will try and get a few things in, but it's looking like Shawn may be doing the majority of the show.

As always, keep checking back and check us out on Itunes!

-Katie

Finally!

Hey everyone!

Finally Shawn and I got the first show out. It may be short, we wanted to give you guys a taste of what is to come. The show should be on Itunes in a little bit and is now on our podbean site!

Check back later today or Thursday (for I am interning all day today) for show notes, which will include the news posts I talked about.

Thanks again and remember, sit back, relax and let us to the talking!

Hey everyone!

Just thought I'd throw an update in on this lovely (or not so lovely where I live) Tuesday. The WDW Monorail incident is still fresh in my mind, and I am sure in everyone elses. According to Netcot.com, the monorails at WDW HAVE reopened, two days after the crash killed one person. I have not been informed if OSHA or WDW have come up with the major cause of the incident, so any information will be appreciated.

WaltCast is coming along nicely. We are currently working on the first episode and will defiantly keep you all updated as we come closer and closer to the first episode being finished.

Thanks again!

-Katie

Update

Earlier I posted news concerning the late night monorail crash at Walt Disney World. Provided is a link to Attractions Magazine and their latest news coverage.

Tragic Accident at Walt Disney World

We regret to inform you that at 2AM today (July 5th) there was a tragic monorail accident at Walt Disney World. I do not know where exactly the monorail accident was taken place, but monorails Pink and Purple were involved in the tragic accident. One person perished (one of the drivers). A family of six was freed from the monorail and the other driver was also safely rescued. The monorail system at the parks will be closed until further notice. My prayers go out to the cast member's family that died in this tragic accident.

We will be constantly checking all available news sources for any up to date news about this tragic accident and will be updating the blog as needed.

-Katie

We're live!

Hey everyone!

WaltCast is officially live on Itunes as of this evening! Shawn and I are very excited to finally see the show on Itunes. We are planning our first show, which should be released in the next couple of weeks.

I'd like to take the opportunity to thank Van from Netcot and the Netcot podcast for his recent advice on podcasting. We really appreciate such awesome advice from such a fabulous podcaster. Shawn and I have been avid listeners of Van's show for sometime and greatly admire all of the time and effort he has put into not only his own show, but his website as well.

Also, I'd like to thank a good friend of mine for his constant support of the show. John will be a guest on WaltCast in the future, and in the meantime, check out his blog 52 Pickup, a movie review blog.

Check out the show on Itunes! Just search for WaltCast and give the test show a listen. Keep checking back here for for information as to when the first episode will be live!

-Katie

Introductory Episode etc

Hey everyone.

The Introductory/Test episode of the show is officially on our Podbean (waltcast.podbean.com) and we just submitted the episode to Itunes for approval. I keep on searching the Itunes store for the show and it hasn't come up yet, but I can't wait until it does.

Both Shawn and I are excited to see our little "baby" grow as we gain listeners over the next few months as we enter the podcasting world. We both have been avid listeners of a few Disney-related podcasts and have greatly admired the work and dedication that each podcaster has put into their show. We hope to communicate our love of Disney to the world through the show and we hope we are able to do that.

Thanks again and keep a lookout for the first episode. Don't forget to leave comments on the blog or send us an email at: waltcast2009@yahoo.com. We appreciate any show segment suggestions, questions or even a quick email to say hello.

-Katie
