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.

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:

waltcast.podbean.com

Over on Itunes (search WaltCast on the Itunes Store). Leave us a comment and rate us too!

And as always, send us an email 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?)

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.

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.
