With the recent celebration of EPCOT’s 40th anniversary, it’s time for the Progress City Radio Hour to begin our series of EPCOT-themed episodes! And as befits the park’s main icon, the first episode in our series is all about communications!
In this episode we look at how AT&T dabbled in attractions at previous World’s Fairs before sponsoring an attraction at Disneyland. We then discuss the development of Spaceship Earth at EPCOT, from its origins as the “Future World Theme Show” to the attraction we know today. We’ll also speak with former Imagineer Peggie Fariss about the depth of research which went into ensuring Spaceship Earth’s amazing level of historical accuracy.
Listen below, and don’t forget you can always support our efforts and gain early access to episodes and monthly livestreams with a tax-deductible donation to our Patreon!
