Sarah Petrescu, John Threlfall, Amanda Farrell-Low and Melanie-Tromp Hoover have a long history of arts and culture journalism in Victoria, so we decided to get together and talk about it.

On the newsier end, we discuss the ongoing happenings at Open Space (12:42) (with thanks to visual artist and interim Open Space board of directors president Charles Campbell for speaking with us), We also discussed the proposal of converting the former Maritime Museum in Bastion Square as an arts hub (22:02), which appears to be gaining traction with a presentation to Victoria City Council scheduled for April 5. Plus a look ahead.
"How deep was the well back then?" -- Kevin We are a sci-fi podcast and we'd be remiss in our duties if we did not, as some point, talk about the genius that is Ray Bradbury. The man that shaped the ideal of mainstream sci-fi and influenced generations to tell their own stories on Mars and beyond. Kevin and George unpack six of Bradbury's short stories and talk about the man, his influence on their own lives and where they see his work touching the work of others. Also, is Intern Tony actually calling us back...on the air?! BIBLIOGRAPHY: Ray Bradbury Short Stories: The Golden Apples of the Sun, 1953 Tomorrow's Child, 1948 All of Summer In A Day, 1954 The One Who Waits, 1949 Sound of Thunder, 1952 Dark They Were, 1949 The Martian Chronicles, 1953 We take a “fly on the wall” approach to our listeners. As such, some of what we discuss falls into the realm of SPOILERS. Consider yourself warned.

Welcome to Episode 28 of the Retro Disney World Podcast: "Whoop-N-Holler" - We appreciate your support and hope you have been enjoying each and every episode. Be sure to check out some of our previous shows. Corrections & Listener Mail - Todd started us with some corrections on the Spaceship Earth episode. First, the music you hear is not called "Space", instead it is an instrumental section of Tomorrow's Child. Another listener mentioned Michelangelo and which hand he is, How chimes in to tell us he is left handed...The triangle boxes between the SSE cars were discussed during the episode. Former cast members informed us they did not know, so we discuss some of the more popular theories. This is going to start a new series on the show called - "How Did It Work". The mailbag this month was crazy full. Brian goes into great detail about how Mickey stood on top of Spaceship Earth, involving a rope and high winds. Next up, we discuss an email we received about the lack of children in the parks when you view some of our older films. Finally, @FancyRobotCouch asks us why Mission To Mars closed...
