I just found this website, MousePod (http://www.pocketsymphony.com/mousepod/B520374309/index.html) . I've downloaded the first two shows, haven't listened to them yet. I'll be out driving this afternoon, so I'll be able to listen. I'll post my thoughts tonight. I'd love to hear what the rest of you think. I think the guy deserves mojo just for doing this, it's the sort of thing I'd like to do if I was at all computer savvy.

This sounds cool, but I'm not sure I get it. He puts together a random Disney playlist which you download onto your iPod?

If it's that easy, I'm totally up for this.

I think it's a PodCast (iPod + brodcast = PodCast), not strictly for the iPod of course, anyone who can play mp3s on the computer or some portable player. Essentially a radio-show-like program that is recorded in MP3 format that can be downloaded and played. You can do a Google search for the term podcast to find out more. I scanned through this real quick, sounds like he mixes his monologue with music clips.

Ah, another PodCast to add! I already get all of Leo Laporte's technology PodCasts, and this will be the perfect addon :)

The Creator/DJ of this PodCast sounds a bit like Chris in the Morning with the inflection of Dr. Joel Fleishman, both from Northern Exposure.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm going to try to keep the 'cast down to once a week, but I'm overflowing with ideas. I was talking to one of my friends who runs a cool bookshop here in SF about Mr. Toad and after about 10 minutes, he said "that would make a great MousePod episode." Yeah, thanks. One more page in the notebook.

Anyway, LoT rocks! I knew there were folks out there who were like me, I've met a few at the parks, but I had no idea where you were hanging on the web. Disney has so much swank appeal, yet the corporate folks (mostly) fail to exploit it in the US.

I think I'll have fun here.

SYRS,
Jesse
The MousePod guy

Cool! Nice to see you made it here! We are the perfect blend of Disney and swank-appeal. I really loved your show. It appealed to my geek sensabilities but kept it fascinating and interesting. Keep up the good work!

Welcome mousepod Jesse! I enjoyed the shows, but I want more music, I loved the Japanese pop version of "Part of Your World!" Swanky!

Hehehehe. That was what prompted me to contact Jesse in the first place. I wanted to know MORE! Now, I have a name, but we're still clueless. ;)
