    In celebration of Father's Day, Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Pod revisits its 2006 "Top 10 Disney Dads" episode. That show, episode #13, contained an audio montage of the "Honorable Mentions" -- Disney Dads who didn't quite make the cut. Three years later, that montage is updated to include: • All the original "honorable mention" dads • The original Top 10 dads (not included in the original montage, as they had their own audio segments throughout the countdown) • New Disney Dads who have joined the Disney family in movies and theme park attractions since the summer of 2006 • A few bonus Disney Dads from classic Disney films who weren't included the first time around The original audio montage was very well received by listeners when it was first released and emails still come in about it to this day. The updated and expanded version is this quick episode is the perfect way to commemorate Father's Day this weekend! Thanks for listening! Be sure to leave a quick review on iTunes!
