Doesn't she have a short commute? Won't it take about a month to listen to 1 hour 34 minutes?

Lunch.

BTW, I've listened to the first half hour...Jesse, I'm going to have to go with naive on this one. Hindsight is 20/20. While you'd be hard pressed to find more than a few people now who would argue that we should have stayed out of WWII, we spent 2 years sticking our fingers in our ears, closing our eyes, going "lalalala." Pearl Harbor may have forced our hand, but the country was hardly instantly gung-ho. So yes, propaganda was produced and used to turn the populace from begrudgingly accepting the inevitability of our participation into good old American hatred of the enemy. We have freedom fries, they had victory cabbage and Donald sieg heiling.

Good point, remember Lindbergh was also promoting isolationism at the time.

MP, great show. Sort of off topic, but do you think you will ever discuss the '41 strike? I'm amazed at all the things going on at the studio at that time, with Walt leaving the strike to head down to South America, and then Pearl Harbor totally changing the direction of the studio. That was sure alot of plates to keep spinning.

I have to admit that I played it a little dumb to make a point without getting too political. GD, you know that I scrapped several "false starts" when I started talking about Poland/Manchuria and Kuwait. I know that the show is primarily a "Disney" show and while I like to frame my opinions with fact, I had to really resist turning it into a Jesse Political Podcast.

As far as the strike, I touched on it in the Dumbo and "Good Neighbor" shows. I'm sure it will come up again when I do shows about the Nine Old Men as well. Heck, I was even thinking about the strike when I was contributing to GD's Goofy thread (Art Babbitt and all, y'know).

Thanks MP, I'll listen to those again.

Another very interesting show. But really, C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S and MOJO for joining the Disney Podcast Network. Good for you! :snap:

Oh, it figures. Not 10 seconds after I got in my car at lunch and hit play, Jesse admits, in as many words, that hindsight is 20/20 and that there were indeed examples of Disney propaganda.

Lesson learned, I'll be listening to whole shows before commenting from now on.

Aaaaannnnd.....I forgot the CDs at home. :rolleyes:

I definately need to get an ipod hook up to the car stereo or I'll never finish listening. I'm about 3 podcasts behind. I also need my own iPod. I "borrow" Madzers when she's not home but that's only every other week. She hasn't figured out what I've put on there yet.

I haven't finished the podcast yet, but I'm reminded that I've never cracked open that Frontlines DVD tin I purchased.

I'd seen "Victory Through Air Power" in the movies once, and had wanted to see it again. But obviously had not wanted to enough.

Hopefully, I will now be inspired to watch the film, and the other overflowing contents of the Frontlines set.
