This week on the Magic Our Way Podcast, Disney dropped a bombshell announcement for one of Walt Disney World's most beloved attractions: Carousel of Progress. The attraction will close in July 2026 for a major reimagining that includes an all-new timeline, updated show scenes spanning the 1960s through the year 1999, a reimagined vision of tomorrow, and perhaps most notably, a new Audio-Animatronic Walt Disney introduction. We break down everything Disney revealed, discuss the attraction's history dating back to the 1964 New York World's Fair, and debate whether updating Carousel of Progress is actually staying true to Walt's original vision. Plus: The new show scenes and decades Why Disney says Carousel has always evolved The controversy and excitement surrounding Walt's new role What must remain unchanged Our biggest hopes and concerns for the attraction's future Join the conversation and let us know: Is Disney preserving a classic—or changing it forever?

Travel through Disneyland history with postcards, park memories, and the artistry of Disney Legend Sam McKim. This episode begins with a colorful 1960 multi-view postcard featuring Sleeping Beauty Castle, the Mark Twain, the Jungle Cruise, the Monorail, and Submarine Voyage—capturing the excitement of Disneyland during one of its most ambitious eras of expansion. Along the way, we uncover the story behind the postcard's unusual dual cancels and trace a summer day in the park filled with long hours, warm weather, and over 22,000 guests. The history segment shines a spotlight on Sam McKim, one of the most influential artists in Disney theme park history. From early concept art for Frontierland and Rivers of America to attraction posters, souvenir Fun Maps, and designs for the 1964 New York World's Fair, McKim's artwork helped define the visual identity of Disneyland and beyond. His career stretched from Disneyland's opening years to EPCOT and Euro Disney, leaving a legacy still visible throughout the parks today. The second postcard visits Carefree Corner in 1963, offering a glimpse into a quieter but personal side of Disneyland history as guests registered for travel assistance and souvenirs in the park's official information center. The episode continues exploring McKim's later Imagineering work, including contributions to Haunted Mansion, Hall of Presidents, and Disney park cartography. Finally, an incoming postcard featuring a Bruce Lee stamp and motivational quote ties Disney inspiration to creativity and action, while also leading to a fascinating look at Disneyland attendance differences between a busy spring Saturday and Easter Sunday in 1963. From Main Street windows to souvenir maps and vintage mail, this episode celebrates the artists and guests who helped preserve Disneyland's magic one postcard at a time.

In today's episode of the Master Series, we discuss the visionary American artist and furniture designer Wharton Esherick, celebrated as the father of the Studio Furniture Movement. Esherick believed furniture and sculpture were one and the same — that a chair, a table, or a staircase could be as emotionally resonant as any painting or bronze. His most iconic pieces pulse with organic, twisting forms drawn from nature, none more famous than his breathtaking spiral staircase, hand-carved from red oak, which stopped the world at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Did you know he started as a painter and only discovered wood by accident, carving frames for his own canvases? Did you know his entire home and studio on Valley Forge Mountain was itself a 40-year work of art — every door, cabinet, and light pull shaped by his own hands — now a National Historic Landmark and Museum??? Speaking of which, our special guest today is the Executive Director of his museum, Julie Siglin!

Step back in time with three postcards from Disneyland that capture the magic of the park across decades. From a 1958 Jungle Cruise adventure aboard the Mekong Maiden to a 1977 spin on the Mad Tea Party, each card offers a firsthand glimpse into the sights, sounds, and sentiments of a day at Disneyland—complete with vintage stamps, park hours, weather, and personal messages sent home. This episode also highlights Disney legend Bob Mattey, the mechanical effects pioneer behind the Jungle Cruise animals, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and even the infamous shark from Jaws. His contributions helped bring Disneyland's earliest attractions to life and earned him a lasting tribute on Main Street, U.S.A. Finally, a modern Postcrossing postcard ties past and present together with a heartfelt story of a 1972 visit—recalling ticket books, low crowds, and attractions that connect Disneyland to the 1964 New York World's Fair.

Nous sommes le 4 juin 1905. Plongeons-nous dans le « New York World », journal fondé quarante-cinq plus tôt, racheté par Joseph Pulitzer, réputé plutôt pour ses informations un peu croustillantes, il le premier du genre à être accompagné d'un supplément en couleur. Ce jour-là donc, la canard revient sur l'entrée au gouvernement d'un certain Charles-Joseph Bonaparte, nous sommes sous la présidence de Théodore Roosevelt. L'article dépeint la physionomie du petit-neveu de Napoléon. On peut lire : « Son sourire fascine quiconque le regarde en face, malheureux, troublant, doux, sirupeux, intrusif, séducteur, trompeur, sarcastique, sardonique, terrifiant, paralysant … diabolique. » Avocat connu de Baltimore, devenu ministre de la marine, ce Bonaparte-là, disent encore ses contemporains, parle d'une voix traînante proche d'un gémissement. Il avait le goût du service public, mû par l'intérêt général, c'est ainsi que devenu ministre de la justice, il combattra les abus de toutes sortes, notamment ceux des grands groupes industriels, des trusts financiers et fondera, en 1908, le « Bureau of Investigation », ancêtre du fameux FBI. Retiré de la vie politique, il restera un conseillé avisé et plaidera, notamment, dès 1914, pour l'entrée en guerre des Etats-Unis. Revenons, aujourd'hui sur le parcours, un peu oublié, du seul Bonaparte à s'être illustré outre-Atlantique… Avec nous : Daniel de Montplaisir. « Charles-Joseph Bonaparte, fondateur du FBI » ; Perrin. sujets traités : Charles-Joseph Bonaparte, FBI, Joseph Pulitzer,New York, Théodore Roosevelt, Napoléon.

Before Walt Disney bought a single acre of swampland in Florida, he spent years on a secret "scavenger hunt" across America. We often hear that Disney World was a "Plan B" after Disneyland, but the truth is much more calculated. From a luxury bowling alley in Denver to a 5-story indoor theme park in St. Louis and a controversial ski resort in the Sierras, Walt was secretly testing the pieces he needed for his "Florida Project." In today's episode of Synergy Loves Company, we're connecting the dots between Walt's biggest "failures" and the ultimate success of Walt Disney World. We explore: - How a Denver bowling alley became the training ground for Disney's world-class service. - The real reason the St. Louis "Riverfront Square" project was cancelled (it wasn't just about the beer!). - Why a mountain ski resort in the Sierras taught Walt the most expensive lesson of his life. - How the 1964 New York World's Fair acted as a multi-million dollar R&D lab funded by corporate sponsors. Every stop on this scavenger hunt provided a piece of the puzzle: Operations, Control, Land, Technology, and Market Proof. By the time Walt looked at Florida, he didn't just have a dream—he had a proven blueprint for perfection. Join the Conversation: Which of these "failed" projects do you think had the most fascinating ripple effect on the Disney parks we know today?

Cryogenic infrared ion spectroscopy (CIRIS) makes it possible, transforming molecular characterization from frustrating puzzle to precise science.Today's guest, Professor Tom Rizzo, bridges the gap between academic innovation and industrial application. As former Dean of the School of Basic Sciences at EPFL in Lausanne and now Chief Scientific Officer at Isospec Analytics, Tom has spent over two decades developing analytical techniques that solve problems conventional methods can't touch.His journey from a childhood fascination sparked by chemistry demonstrations at the 1964 New York World's Fair to pioneering a breakthrough technology reveals both the persistence required for true innovation and the pathway from laboratory curiosity to commercial reality. For bioprocess scientists struggling with glycan characterization, isomer identification, or any structural puzzle where mass spec alone falls short, this conversation offers both validation and solutions.Episode Highlights:The fundamental limitations of current biomolecular analysis methods and why innovation is critical (02:51)From World's Fair chemistry demos to laser spectroscopy: Tom Rizzo's path to analytical innovation (03:31)The two-decade quest to combine mass spectrometry sensitivity with laser spectroscopy precision—and the machine that finally made it work (04:26)Why Tom transitioned from academic leadership to Isospec Analytics: bringing lab techniques to production environments (09:17)CIRIS fundamentals: how cooling ions to 10 Kelvin unlocks molecular fingerprints that room-temperature methods miss (11:14)CIRIS advantages for biologics: single-ion sensitivity, isomer discrimination, and unique molecular "fingerprints" for definitive identification (14:25)Integrating CIRIS into existing bioprocess workflows: LC-MS compatibility and the path to commercial instrumentation (17:29)Hard-won lessons from translating academic breakthroughs into industrial tools (17:43)When mass spectrometry hits its limits—distinguishing isomers, characterizing glycans, identifying unknowns in complex mixtures—cryogenic infrared ion spectroscopy provides the structural resolution you need. This isn't incremental improvement; it's a fundamental expansion of what's analytically possible.If you're facing molecular identification challenges that conventional methods can't solve, or if you're curious how next-generation analytical techniques will transform bioprocess development, this episode delivers actionable insights from a scientist who's lived both the innovation and implementation journey.Connect with Tom Rizzo:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-rizzo-4a0a6314/Contact email: tom@isospec.chIsospec Analytics website: www.isospecanalytics.comNext step:Book a 20-minute call to help you get started on any questions you may have about bioprocessing analytics: https://bruehlmann-consulting.com/call

Flight 46: Iconic former domestic and international planning and development executive for both Disney and Universal, Frank Stanek. When you view construction photos or videos of Epcot, Tokyo Disneyland, Universal Studios Orlando Resort, Universal Studios Japan and other major themed entertainment projects around the globe, the focus is typically on those crazy creative folks — not the guys in the suits. But the truth is that if it weren't for the guys in the suits who secured the site and the funding, strategically planned the project, and oversaw the budgets and schedules, those crazy creative folks wouldn't have anything to design or build! Frank Stanek is probably the most famous "suit" in our industry today, having worked for Walt and Roy Disney on the New York World's Fair and Mineral King before joining WED Enterprises to oversee business planning and development. He helped to create Walt Disney World, Epcot, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris before working directly with Michael Eisner and Frank Wells as the Walt Disney Company's first Corporate Vice President of Planning. After a stint with the Japanese firm Dentsu, Frank was recruited to MCA/Universal, where he became President of International Business Development and oversaw the Universal Orlando Resort, Universal Studios Japan, and Universal projects in Spain, Korea, and China. Set your timepiece now and plan to join us as one of the themed entertainment industry's most storied planning and development execs shares his wisdom and tales from the trenches in what promises to be Zoomcast for the ages!

International Arrivals speaks with Filipino American artist duo Abang-guard: Maureen Catbagan and Jevijoe Vitug (Phillipines/USA) (https://maureencatbagan.com/) about their current exhibition, Makibaka, at the Queens Museum in which they use the 1964-65 New York World's Fair's Philippines and New York State Pavilions as an entrance for talking about the importance of 1965 for Filipino American labor history. They emphasize the importance of community archives and the interplay between institutional critique and personal narratives, aiming to reclaim and reframe Filipino American history. Their work reconsiders the importance of monuments, Little Manilla(s), The Delano grape strike, and pays homage to the bridge generation who came to find their American dream.  The title of their exhibition, Makibaka, is a rallying cry: fight to live, live to fight, dare to struggle, dare to win. It's a slogan that resistance and protest movements used against the Marcos dictatorship and martial law during the 70s and 80s and has become the regular rallying cry of Filipino activists fighting against oppressive systems, both in the Philippines and abroad.

My dad has a record for every occasion. 60 years ago yesterday, on October 4, 1965, Pope Paul VI visited the United States for a 14-hour trip that was entirely contained within New York City. The visit marked the first time a pope had visited the U.S. and included addressing the United Nations, meeting with President Lyndon B. Johnson, celebrating Mass at Yankee Stadium, and visiting the New York World's Fair.  It is estimated that at least 1 million people saw the pope in person, while 100 million watched his visit on television This record commemorates that historic day.

A lavender 1957 Chevy Nomad steals the spotlight at our Tailpipes and Tacos Cruise Inn broadcast from Lupe' Tortilla Tex-Mex in Katy, Texas. Owner Jim Craven shares his three-year journey with this head-turning classic, detailing what makes a Nomad special beyond just being a two-door station wagon - from the angled window pillars to the nine distinctive grooves on the car's top.Under the hood, this beauty houses a monstrous 502 cubic inch crate motor with dual four-barrel carburetors that, in Jim's words, "will lay rubber in second and third gear." While Jim initially had reservations about the lavender paint when buying sight unseen, it's now the car's most celebrated feature, routinely earning trophies and starting conversations at every show.What resonates most is Jim's refreshing philosophy about classic car ownership. Unlike those who treat vehicles as untouchable museum pieces, he drives his Nomad regularly, believing classics should be enjoyed rather than preserved as "garage queens." This approach has made him and his distinctive vehicle fixtures in the local car community.We also take listeners through fascinating automotive milestones in our "This Week in Auto History" segment, from the Jeep's 1941 military debut to the Ford Mustang's landmark introduction at the 1964 New York World's Fair.

Will Exposition Boy expose the backstory of Billy Narrator, boy detective? Can Falk prevent them from destroying the whole episode and the sanity of his listeners? Listen to find out!Clash of the Story Boys, episode 127 of This Gun in My Hand, was narrated and exposed by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Sisyphus, Eat Your Heart Out, available in paperback and ebook from Amazon. How do I settle creative differences? With This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. Thanks to Pete Larsen for the idea for this episode: “I'd love to see a fight between 'Exposition Boy, the Teen-Sidekick' and 'Billy Narrator Jr.'”2. If you're going to take six years to develop an international exposition and build an artificial island for it, maybe open it in an off-year when there isn't an official world's fair on the other coast. The Golden Gate International Exposition opened in 1939, competing with the 1939 New York World's Fair. (Spoilers: they did run out of money and closed early in October 1939, then scrounged up a little more to reopen May-September 1940.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate_International_Exposition3. Billy commandeered the show in episode 113, “Don't Kid a Kidder,” to do his own show, Billy Narrator, Boy Detective.https://archive.org/details/tgimh-113-dont-kid-a-kidder4. The Pope's Rhinoceros by Lawrence Norfolk establishes a deeper backstory than any other novel I've read. The first four pages describe glacial and geologic activity that form the lake where protagonists finally come into the story on the fifth page. Literally a glacial age of backstory.Credits:The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Exposition Boy's storytelling music was from “Journey Into Fear,” the June 9, 1946 episode of the public domain radio show Hour of Mystery. Music from the second commercial was from the public domain film Death Machines (1976). Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals. Sound Effect Title: Traffic mel 1.wavBy malupeeters License: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0https://freesound.org/people/malupeeters/sounds/191350/Sound Effect Title: Park ambience - mostly birdsLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/Mafon2/sounds/274175/#Music Title: Kitten on the KeysComposed and Performed by Zez Confrey and His OrchestraRecorded May 4, 1922License: Public Domainhttps://freemusicarchive.org/music/Antique_Phonograph_Music_Program_Various_Artists/Antique_Phonograph_Music_Program_05052009/Kitten_on_the_Keys/The image accompanying this episode is a modified detail of one panel from the April 28, 1929 public domain comic strip Just Kids by Ad Carter.

We'll explore the wizardry behind Davis's electromechanical marvels, and how Marc injected humor into beloved attractions such as the Haunted Mansion, Country Bear Jamboree, and the Enchanted Tiki Room, and learn about his lasting impact on Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. And you'll be immersed in the stories of his iconic contributions to classic films, his analytical approach to animation, and how his mastery brought to life characters like Cinderella and the formidable Maleficent. You'll also learn of the heartwarming love story between Marc and his equally talented wife, Alice, and the film they inspired. It's an episode filled with nostalgia, inspiration, and a touch of pixie dust, and just as we pay homage to the enduring legacy of Walt Disney's “Renaissance Man.” And I invite you to remember look for the visual cues that celebrate his life and work next time you're visiting the happiest and most magical places on Earth.- What is your favorite Marc Davis attraction, gag, or character?
