Swans' latest album, entitled Birthing, releases on May 30 and is reported by Gira to be the band's final large-sounding, expansive album.

Disney very recently made some changes to their Disability Access Services program – often referred to as a DAS pass at Disney World and Disney Land. We're going to talk about why this happened, what it means for you, and what else is going on at Disney. Note: this interview was taped BEFORE the changes took place. More about Len Testa's Touring Plans here More about the DAS changes here We're also spending some time talking about a new service for doctors called Glucosepath and about a new surprising study about cortisol and diabetes.

Len Testa is co host of the fabulous Disney Dish podcast and the creator of Touring Plans the app and service of The Unofficial Guides to Walt Disney World, Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line. Testa is all about the math of theme parks – his guides are there to maximize the magic as he says – to make your waits shorter and save money – and it's all based on calculations from his team. He teamed up with endocrinologist Dr. Bradly Eilerman to create GlucosePATH which uses computer science and clinical data to evaluate every possible treatment option, using data from the patient, FDA, and peer-reviewed journals, in just a few seconds.
