Podcasts about Christmas Morning

I'm back, boo—and I have some explaining to do. During our quiet two-month hiatus, I seriously considered ending After Hours With Amanda. Instead, I found myself heading to Disney's Created in LA and confronting some very loud imposter syndrome along the way.I'm sharing what happened, why the podcast needed room to breathe, the new Dreamers & Believers series, and what it felt like to almost walk away from an opportunity I had dreamed about for years. This is about Disney, yes—but even more, it's about letting a dream change without deciding it's dead. Grab your bevie.

From the moment you enter a Disney park, the Imagineers are intentionally manipulating your feelings and perspective.They compress spaces before revealing enormous vistas, control what you can and can't see, carefully transition you from one environment into another, alter architectural scale, and use visual order to influence how you experience the world around you.Tonight on Distory Nite Shift, Kate and Joshua explore the psychology and perspective tricks hiding throughout the Disney parks through the ideas of Imagineers including Claude Coats, Joe Rohde, and John Hench.We'll explore Disney's famous “Christmas Morning” views and how Imagineers use this technique in many of their most popular attractions across all the Disney parks. Then we're heading to Disney's Animal Kingdom to examine Joe Rohde's fascinating explanation of how Imagineers intentionally move guests from geometric, human-controlled environments into increasingly natural spaces, and what feelings they wanted to evoke in the process.Finally, we'll dig into Imagineer John Hench's psychological interpretation of Disneyland including visual cohesion, elements designed to make you feel safe, and more. Clock in for another Distory Nite Shift as we follow some Imagineering rabbit trails and explore how Disney uses architecture, storytelling, psychology, scale, perspective, and carefully controlled reveals to influence not only what we see, but how we feel as we step into the Disney parks.

This week, the Glaucomfleckens connect with a fellow "co-survivor" whose Christmas morning took a harrowing turn from opening presents to performing life-saving chest compressions. Ellie Breach, a D1 goalkeeper for the Pittsburgh Panthers and NC State, shares the intense story of her father's sudden cardiac arrest and the specific athletic training that kept her calm when "shit hit the fan" in her own basement. The conversation dives deep into the "living wake" experience of the ICU, where Ellie discovered her reserved ER-nurse father was secretly the "grandpa of the ER" with two full sleeves of tattoos and a reputation for legendary patient tranquilizing. It's a fascinating look at the clinical and emotional parallels between being a top-tier athlete and a medical professional, including why some specialties are famously described as "40 minutes of boredom followed by five seconds of terror". Finally, Ellie discusses her new mission with "Hands on Hearts" and Project Adam, raising money to ensure that having an AED in the building actually matters. Takeaways: Why a D1 goalkeeper might be the most qualified person in the world to perform high-quality CPR. The specific literary trivia point that proved to Ellie her father's brain was "still in there" during recovery. What a "Lucas device" is and why it might leave a patient with a broken back—even while saving their life. The surprising reason why being a "terrible patient" actually makes you a better hospital visitor. How a superstitious theory about the family dog and "medical demons" might explain Will's recent health streak. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

More Christmas Morning - christmasmorningpodcast.comIT'S FINALLY HERE! The day that we have been counting down to every week since January is officially here. Enjoy the final episode of Christmas Morning for 2025.

Some kids outgrow Santa. Others see him walk out their front door. On a warm Southern California Christmas morning, an eight-year-old wakes up before anyone else, ready to sneak a peek at the presents under the tree. The front door is open to let in the cool air, the holiday bells on the screen are still, and the house is quiet. Then the bells jingle. Frozen in the hallway, they watch as someone in a red jacket steps through the front door and out into the dark—no heavy footfalls, no click of the deadbolt, no final jingle of the bells. When they finally work up the courage to look again, the screen is shut, the lock is set, and the house is perfectly still. Their parents insist it was “just a dream.” Decades later, they're still not buying it. #realghoststoriesonline #christmasghoststory #holidayhaunting #santavisitor #paranormalchristmas #strangememories #childhoodencounter #maninred #trueghoststories #spookystories #holidayweirdness #ghoststorypodcast  Love real ghost stories?
