My Dinner With Chiefie; S02 E28

Welcome Jungle Fans, and Adventurekateers of all shapes and sizes! For nearly 2 years we've been providing an oral history of the Jungle Cruise, but we've never had anyone like Skipper Chiefie on the show before. I was lucky enough to be invited to a gathering of Westside Disneyland Cast Members from the 1980's and 1990's in early August, and I had a great time getting to know the Jungle Cruise Skips who were there. My final interview of the night was with this lumbering pillar of personality named Chiefie. He stole my microphone, he caused me a 4 hour edit job, and he won all of our hearts. So, heeeeeeeeeere's Chiefie!(Also... Some information for our new listeners.)Our Facebook group can be found HERE!Our Twitter handle is @SkipCastAnd you can Email us at JungleCrews@gmail.com if you would like to appear on the show, or you just want a really good quiche recipe.Kungaloosh, everyone! See you next week for our 2 year anniversary show!Skipper Kyle Esquire

Westside Attractions Reunion, Part 1: S02 E27

So, on August 3rd, there was a little get together with about 120 Westside attractions CM's from the 80's and early 90's. It was a pleasure to go and capture some history, and tonight is part 1. I sit down with Skipper Phil and Skipper Cisco and we chat about the Jungle of the bygone era... Lots of fun, and good people. It was nice meeting so many of those who have come before me.Also, some sad news. (and I touch on this more in the episode) We lost one of our own on Sunday. Skipper Mark "Sumo" Sagato was a Skip from the mid-90's, and worked in a lot of places around the park. He was my trainer at DCA, which was where I met him, and we got to have an on-and-off sort of friendship. Mark passed away of a coronary incident early on the morning of the 11th. He's one of those people who touch lives greatly, so I dedicated a bit of the intro of the show to him. If you knew Mark, or even if you didn't, please visit WeLoveSumo.Yolasite.com and make a donation to support his girlfriend in making arrangements and in putting together a memorial to him. It would mean a lot to me if the audience of the show can help me get behind this.Thanks, everyone... We'll be back next week, and the week after that is our 2nd anniversary show!Skipper Kyle

Nerd Birds!; S02 E26

Greetings Skips and Skiperettes, and thanks for joining me in our own little corner of InternetLand. This week we chat with Skipper Kat, who was not only well versed in the ways of the Westside, but she also spent time on the Dream Squad. It's a lot of fun, with pop culture references, movie reviews, and life tips for everyone.We've got all kinds of Jungle Goodness coming in the next month, leading up to our 2nd anniversary. Please keep passing us along to your friends, we appreciate all that our listeners do for us.

Westside Attractions Reunion! (Start Here) (Replay S02E02)

We had a great time last night at the Westside Attractions (Dept 951) Reunion. We've got about 2 hours of podcast excellence on tap from the event, but since we handed out so many business cards, I thought I'd leave a message for any new members! The podcast goes in a lot of directions, and right now is kind of an indulgent spur. To get a good feel for what it is that we do, start with THIS episode, It's a good place to get a feel for our escapades in the Jungle. I hope we made some new friends last night, and we'll be hearing more from the 1980's-early 90's Skips soon.

Descent Into Madness, pt 3; S02 E24

Well, here's the final part of our 3 part episode with Skipper Mike Robles and Skipper Adam Rotella. Do I need to say anything more about this? Nope.2 more weeks of our special "Seattle" content, and then we're back to a slightly more historical and less hysterical podcast. I know these have been a bit indulgent, but I've enjoyed them, and really... isn't that what this is all about?Thanks everyone for the continued support. We're keepin' on rockin' and rollin' and not usin' the letter G, and we appreciate all our listeners.

Descent Into Madness, pt 2; S02 E23

Well, here we go again. Episode 2 of 3 with Skipper Mike Robles and Skipper Adam Rotella. It's controlled Chaos in Seattle... If you need additional warning, go back and look at the tags for this last episode. This one is less "Jungle History" and more "11 AM beerfest with a microphone"... so don't expect King Lear, ok?Lots of good stuff upcoming, so we'll catch you guys next Tuesday. Kungaloosh!
