 Zachariah Smith is a 20-year-old singer and songwriter from Wabash, Indiana. His infatuation with music was evident at a very young age, and he grew up singing at every opportunity available. Zachariah made his musical debut on the 21st Season of American Idol earlier this year, where his show stopping musical abilities took him all the way to the top 5. Since the show, he has been playing concerts all across the states, including being invited to join Foreigner on their “Farewell Tour” in Nashville, TN. His infectious personality and ability to work a crowd has allowed him to sell out his last 3 concerts. His hit single “American Grace” made it to number 9 on the Country Now iTunes chart. Zachariah just finished recording two originals with his band members at Sweetwater studios in Fort Wayne, which is one of the largest music stores in the United States. Midnight in Mississippi will be available on all platforms on September 1st. This country rock song was written by Zachariah, his wife, and father-n-law. He and his insanely talented band members produced all the instrumentals for this track. They are currently in the process of recording their first album, which will be released in a couple of months. The sky is the limit for this strikingly talented Country Rock artist.https://www.therealzachariahsmith.com/Support the showThanks for listening for more information or to listen to other podcasts or watch YouTube videos click on this link >https://thetroutshow.com/

In the 123rd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave continue their long running series touring through Hollywood Studios.  The show opens with a blast from the past, an early 90s commercial for Disney-MGM Studios, just to take you back a little, when Jenn rewatches Moana, while Dave wears a bowling shirt. Legit.  Then, they start walking around Echo Lake, including comparing both Prime Time and Hollywood & Vine both pre- and post-pandemic -- wondering why Miles and Catboy never made it to a character breakfast.  They talk through Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, getting ice cream from Gertie's, grabbing lunch from Dockside, and then dive into a little history of the Hyperion Theater... what was there before Frozen? The American Idol Experience, of course. And before that? Find out!  Finally a fun throw back at all the parades that have taken shape over the years at Hollywood Studios!

Paul joined OrderMatic in 2016, rebuilding and restoring a company after its founder, Bill Cunningham, passed in 2011. Under his leadership, OrderMatic has outperformed its last eight years, strengthened itself in the quick-service restaurant industry during a brutal pandemic, and realigned current values with past core company beliefs to launch into a more innovative and strategic future.

02/21/18 - In this episode, the panel discusses five attractions at Walt Disney World that were made better after a change like The American Idol Experience switching to Frozen Sing-Along!

Kamber Cain grew up in El Dorado Springs, a small rural town in Missouri, but that has not kept her from having big city dreams about singing Country Music. No stranger to the stage, Kamber, born in 1990, has been quite the performer for the majority of her life. Influenced by artists such as Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Martina McBride Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift, she has always strived for a piece of the limelight.At the ripe old age of 3, her first stage appearance was with Brian Black. By age 4, Kamber started her singing career and hasn't looked back. She is known for her strong vocals and stage performance. Winning a local competition in Kansas at a Colgate Country Showdown at the age of 14 gave her the opportunity to open at a Country Round-Up Show for Jamie O'Neal, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Billy Dean and headliner LONESTAR. This was only the beginning. She has gone on to qualify ten more years for the Colgate/Texaco Showdown State Competitions held in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. She has held various titles over the years, including Route 66 Idol, Pittsburg Idol and most recently was named the 2014 Missouri State Fair Idol. She has also performed at the American Royal in Kansas City, MO, the American Idol Experience in Orlando, FL and at numerous other contests and venues. All this, plus continuing her education after high school by attending Belmont University and MSSU, obtaining a Marketing Business Degree. The true goal in life, however, is pursuing music!Kamber was blessed with the awesome opportunity to co-write and record 4 original songs with the mentoring of singer/songwriter/producer Rich McCready, (Co-Owner of McCready Recording Studio) and Nashville's own producer/songwriter, Brian Maher, (Hit Co-Writer for Justin Moore's "Small Town USA" and "Til My Last Day".) Tracks were perfected at Benchmark Sound Studio in Nashville and 4 amazing songs were born! Kamber has also started co-writing songs with Don Quinn and Elise Thornton out of Mississippi. These songs can be found on sites such as iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon, Reverbnation, Google Music, among others.Kamber was also blessed with doing her very first music video in the Summer of 2013 for her song "Ain't Nothin Like A Night Like This," with the help of Mark Alan Peters, Mike Stryker (Casting Life Films) and Darren Williams (Blue Conduit Films) from Nashville, TN. The video turned out amazing and really captivates who Kamber is as a person. Kamber has also finished up with the filming of another music video for her song called "Maybe I Just Might." It was filmed in Nashville, TN by the same video crew. The music video was released online on September 30, 2014. Be sure and check it out!Kamber has recently been featured on such websites as "Today's Best Country Music Videos", "Country Rise" and "Visit MO". She has also had one of her songs, "Ain't Nothin Like A Night Like This", placed in Season 2, Episode 7 of the Hit Show "House of Cards." In March 2014, Kamber was one of Reverbnation's Featured Artist's of the Week! She is also frequently played on some Missouri radio stations, along with some online radio stations, such as "Music Road Radio" and "The Iceman's Cavern".Kamber's plans for the future include writing and recording more songs while pursuing her lifelong dream of a Country Music Career.

While Marvel's "Ant-Man" begins filming in San Francisco, the Interwebs debate whether or not Disney will release the original version of "Star Wars" to home video--or if they even can. Meanwhile, the American Idol Experience at Disney's Hollywood Studios is closing down this month to make way for......? And since Tim and Anthony don't live by Disney alone, they share a word or two about the White Stripes and "Shaun of the Dead." No, really. It will all make sense. www.TheMouseCastle.com

Annie and Danny return for Episode 51 and start traditionally with the Disney News of the week, this time briefly touching on the passing of Robin Williams, The American Idol Experience closing, Frozen's upcoming "Making Of" special, George Lucas' evil plan, Tower of Terror ride videos, and the closing of Haunted Mansion for refurb.Next the duo announces that they'll be running in the Tower of Terror 10 Miler in 2015, which is just about the worst thing ever.Lastly they each plan their "Worst Disney Day" in the parks for each other. Annie gets way more creative than Dan.

This week, Seth Kubersky joins us to review Universal Orlando's Diagon Alley! He tells us what we can look forward to in "Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts!" Also, will the closing of the American Idol Experience be the first step towards a Star Wars Land? We also have a Live Trip Report from the New Thunderbolt at Coney Island! And,CM Venom stops by to review Goliath, the new RMC coaster at Six Flags Great America.

This week we celebrate Team Voice and half-marathon accomplishments. We also talk about the American Idol Experience at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

For each individual season of Coaster Radio, EB and Mike like to have something called a "story arc." Basically, it's a common theme and storyline that can carry over throughout an entire season of the show. For season four, we followed Mike as he prepared for and ultimately triumphed at The American Idol Experience at Disney's Hollywood Studios. But in Season Five, the guys  unveiled their most ambitious "story arch" ever - The Neil Patrick Harris Project. EB and Mike wanted to have a major celebrity (who happened to love theme parks) agree to become the voiceover artist that introduces each episode of the show. They locked on film, television and stage star Neil Patrick Harris, who turned out to be a listener of the show already! This week, after ten months of wacky contests, Towers of Treats and major charity events, Neil is ready to announce whether he will become a part of the Original Theme Park Podcast! We also welcome back an old friend, Arthur Levine - the theme parks guide at about.com! Arthur recently had a chance to ride Star Tours: The Adventures Continue at Disneyland and The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure at Disney California Adventure. He'll tell Mike and EB which ride made it to his list of Top Theme Park Attractions and which ride gave him a slight case of anticipointment. We'll also hear from the CoasterRadio.com audience as they talk about their favorite water rides.  Which wet and wild rides are the best in the country?  The listeners have the scoop! We'll also have a Live Trip Report from Dinosaurs Alive! at Kings Island and Mike will tell you about his upcoming trip to Hungary to ride one of the oldest coasters in the world!

This week marks a rather unique situation for us here at the show.It's one of the few times that EB and Mike found themselves at two different parks in the same week.So, the guys take full advantage of the situation by bringing you stories of two very different trips.First, EB tells us about his trip to Holiday World and Splashin' Safari for the Media Day for Wildebeest.  It's the world's longest water coaster.EB had a chance to ride this monster first-hand, and tells us all about whether it will be a hit or not.And, after months of preparation, Mike finally made his trek down to Walt Disney World to take part in "The American Idol Experience" at Disney's Hollywood Studios.Mike tells the ENTIRE STORY... from the lead-up, to the audition and whether or not he made it to the "big stage."  It's a wild story.PLUS, there's news out of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and things don't look good for Hagrid.  It's possible he got in touble for something he said on this very show.It's all this week on an all new CoasterRadio.com!

The Original Theme Park Podcast is back..... With a Live Remote! OK, OK... it's a podcast, so it's not technically live. BUT, this week EB mans the show from our studios in Indiana while Mike checks in from right outside Space Mountain at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
