SDCC 2009 – Day Three

By Michael - July 26th, 2009

In this Town Hall we're thrilled to speak with Derric Johnson, founder and long-time leader of the Voices of Liberty at EPCOT's American Adventure pavilion. Learn about his early Disney experiences in the 1970s, special moments over the years with the Voices of Liberty, and his time directing the annual Walt Disney World Candlelight Ceremony.

To honor the recent passing of Disney Legend Richard Sherman, this special episode of the Radio Hour is a tribute to the iconic and unforgettable Sherman Brothers. We'll take a look at some of their lesser-known work, from their time before Disney to projects such as Tinpanorama and Summer Magic, to, yes, even SMASH FLOPS!

Rocket into Christmas with our special festive holiday spectacular featuring author/historians Steven Vagnini and Foxx Nolte! And we're giving away a copy of the new Disney A to Z! Jingle those bells! http://podcast.progresscityusa.com

Sad news today, as we have been told that former head of Walt Disney Attractions, Dick Nunis, has passed away at the age of 91.

One hundred years ago yesterday, the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio was founded in Los Angeles. What began under extremely humble circumstances eventually flourished, creating a cultural juggernaut which dominates the media landscape today.

Let’s return to EPCOT Center for a patriotic extravaganza like no other! Join us for a look at the creation of the groundbreaking attraction The American Adventure, and the history of Americana-themed spectacles that preceded it in the 19th and 20th centuries. Then take your seat for a history of the beloved singing group Voices of Liberty! Grab those rose-colored bifocals and spare a dime – it’s the Progress City Radio Hour!
