Our Editor's Take

D23 Inside Disney is a podcast that promotes everything from Mickey Mouse to The Mandalorian. Fans of the brand can listen for periodic updates about theme parks, media releases, and more. Episodes are between 14 and 38 minutes long. Interviews with insiders at the Walt Disney Company enhance the details shared.

Karen Weissman manages restoration and preservation at Walt Disney Studios. She talks to podcast hosts Hunter, Lisa, and Sheri. They discuss Karen's work on classic Disney shorts that fans can see on Disney+. She explains how high-definition television impacts the way these short films appear now. A viewer in 1939 would not have noticed a missing frame. Now, adding these frames back in is part of the restoration work.

Podcast guest Kirsten Lepore writes, directs, and produces the I Am Groot TV series. Baby versions of popular characters can boost the marketability of already successful franchises. Kirsten's series on Disney+ proves their effectiveness. She talks to the hosts in one D23 Inside Disney episode. Kirsten comes from an indie background. When Marvel Studios accepted her treatment for the series, she found it surprising.

Superhero movie fans may want to listen to the episode about Marvel Studio's Echo. The cast talks to the podcast hosts about their experiences. Actor Alaqua Cox expresses gratitude for having a platform to spread awareness. She appreciates being able to advocate for the deaf community.

Listeners who celebrate Christmas may enjoy hearing how Disneyland Resort honors the season. The hosts talk to show director Linda Love-Simmons. The resort's 1997 Christmas Fantasy Parade was the first she choreographed. Linda tells the hosts that the Disneyland Band and Dapper Dans play and sing Christmas music. Even fervent fans may not know how pervasive the Christmas spirit is at a Disneyland Resort. A Christmas wish and a Disney wish could come true in a single trip.

Disney fans of all kinds may enjoy the exclusive content this podcast offers. New D23 Inside Disney episodes debut several times each month.
