Inspiring Magic, One Child at a Time with Emily Gathman. 0 Nov 15, 2021 In today's Replay episode of My Disney Class Podcast, Ryan and Howie welcome Emily Gathman again. Emily is a 6th grade Science teacher at Bussey Middle School in Garland Texas. She loves to inspire her students to be creative problem-solvers as they tackle real-world Science and engineering problems in her classroom. Emily was recognized in 2021 as the Bussey Middle School's, Teacher of the year which as you will see in this episode is truly well deserved! On the show, Emily will share with us how she has incorporated the lessons that she has learned from Disney as well as what brings her inspiration from Disney into her classroom for her students. This ranges from how she has designed physical things in her classroom to how she uses inspirational quotes. For example, Emily helps her students handle failures they encounter in her class by using the quote,” Failure is not an endpoint but a jumping-off point.” She combines this quote with stories about how Walt Disney himself overcame many failures. We think you will agree as you listen to Emily describe her classroom that she is definitely inspiring her students to be innovators, just like Uncle Walt!

Teens have always needed a place to gather. There was one place in the 1980's where they could go and meet and hear the music relevant to them. It was also a place where important connections were made between people of different racial backgrounds, and different musical genres. But there were forces against them. Just press play to hear the whole story. ——— Click on search links to see if there are episodes with related content: Andrew Wanko, Music, Pastimes and Leisure, Arts, Entertainment, and Culture, Politics and Government,----- Podcast Transcript: I'm Andrew Wanko, Public Historian of the Missouri Historical Society, and Here's History on 88-one, KDHX. ——— In the 1980s, punk rock and hip hop were simultaneously bringing new youthful voices to the landscape of American music. While their respective music scenes rarely crossed paths, there was one local place that became a haven for St. Louis's punk rockers and rap fans alike. Right next to North County's unmissable Lewis and Clark Tower is a cavernous building that was once the Mark Twain Theatre. But through the 1980s, it was known to St. Louis teenagers as Animal House. ——— Animal House was opened in 1983 by Walter Lanham, who the club-going youth knew as “Uncle Walt.” One of a handful of under-21 night clubs anywhere in the region, the music at Animal House made it common ground for both Black and white St. Louis teenagers. Friday nights were set aside for punk and new wave music, while Saturdays were hip-hop nights. The club became one of the top local places to see nationally known hip hop stars - including LL Cool J, Whodini, and Eazy E - often with St. Louis dance groups as their opening acts. The crowd was always eclectic, and the excitement stretched into the early morning hours. ——— Animal House reminds us how music can connect, but its story also reminds us how music can become a flashpoint for divisions. By the late 1980s, Moline Acres aldermen and business owners moved to shut Animal House down. They claimed the club attracted supposed gang activity, while Lanham claimed the attempt was motivated by racism toward Black youth gathering around rap music. At one of the tense city council meetins, a defiant Lanham stated “The city and county say they need something for these kids to do, but they leave it to the other guy… well I'm the other guy.” ——— Local teens stood alongside Uncle Walt, speaking about the social importance that Animal House held in their lives. Exhausted by the constant defense, Lanham finally decided to close Animal House in 1989. Other clubs would appear, but for the 1980s St. Louisans who discovered like-minded friends and bonded over music, Animal House was a second home. ——— Here's history is a joint production of the Missouri Historical Society and KDHX. I'm Andrew Wanko and this is 88.1 KDHX St. Louis. ———

Join Heracane Anne & the Wolf PaQ as they dig into Heracanes video WIcked Uncle Walt, exposing the real Walt Disney as you have never heard, Callers Welcome.
Hi! And Welcome to Wolf PaQ Radio This is your host Heracane Anne and I'm so happy to have you tune in to this intriguing episode title WICKED Uncle Walt. While I was researching a previous story I stumbled upon startling allegations & conspiracies about Walt Disney that really caught my attention, everything from him being involved in child trafficking & MK Ultra to accusations of him being accused of being Adolf Hitler himself. Many people believe he was the worst kind of evil because it is said that he went after the kids by using subliminal sexual content in his cartoons and in a way, they are right, there is no disputing the fact that Disney movies have sexual images hidden in them. Disney films are also filled with Masonic and satanic symbolism. But was Walt to blame for that? Well, ya'll know me, I had to jump down this rabbit hole…. and when I did it felt like I landed in another dimension where nothing made sense & was filled with lies, spies, double spies, communist, & Nazis. I had to wonder Was Walt Disney a good man & a true American icon or was he truly WICKED… Let's find out the truth…. But before we continue, please take a moment to like, share & subscribe!

Today, I'm joined by Texas blues singer and pianist Marcia Ball. Marcia plays her grand piano right here on the podcast, and it is nothing short of awesome, in fact it's probably the best performance we've ever had on the show. However, she's very humble throughout our discussion, meanwhile my jaw is on the ground in amazement at the talent this lady has. We talk about how she found her love for singing, the difficulties she faced during the pandemic, and what the future looks like for live music. We also talk about the relationship between Louisiana and Texas and the history behind Mardi Gras. And then she treats us with an amazing performance of her song "La Ti Da."

You are in for a special treat today! I've got to do an exclusive phone interview with David Ball, the last living member of Uncle Walt's Band, as well as a special guest, country music singer/songwriter Gary P. Nunn. Uncle Walt's Band was an important cult band, which has influenced so many musicians in the US. After releasing the anthology and expanded versions of their self-titled debut and its follow-up, An American in Texas, Omnivore Recordings released a re-imagined version of Recorded Live — now titled Recorded Live at Waterloo Ice House. Recorded Live at Waterloo Ice House helps paint a bigger, wider picture of Uncle Walt's Band in their prime, and certainly in their element. I've listened the album on repeat, the 21 tracks are so powerful, not missing any of the authenticity and originality since their original performance in 1982. First I talk to Gary P. Nunn about his memories of Uncle Walt's Band and how they influenced his music. Then David Ball and I chatted for one hour about what it was like when the band was active in Austin. He shares memories and stories of their live performances, rehearsals, recording sessions, and creating with his two late bandmates, Walter Hyatt and Champ Hood.

Bells and Goose tell us their epic Disney Princess Attraction idea that involves a magic carpet and Figment! Uncle Roy's attraction idea involves a Frontierland experience where you would go on adventures with the one and only Davy Crockett. Uncle Walt wants to take advantage of the Tom Brady craze by adding an audio animatronic of the Buccaneer to Pirates of the Carribean in Orlando. Have a Magical Day!

Media plays an enormous role in shaping the way we experience the world. And few people have influenced media and culture as profoundly as this week’s hero, Walt Disney. We’re digging into the life of Uncle Walt and showing how his own personal biases influenced not only his work, but also how they continue to shape the way millions of people understand race, religion, and gender roles.

Who was the creator of Disney, Uncle Walt, really? In this episode we will be investigating the man who revolutionised the film industry and see if he really was the beauty he was portrayed as or if he was the beast that very few knew about.
David Ball is one of our best traditional country singers, a regular on the Grand Ole Opry and that rare classic indie who had big radio hits in two different decades. But before he twanged us up with Thinkin' Problem, in his well-spent youth, he was bass player and singer in Uncle Walt's Band, one of the most exceptional and under-appreciated ensembles in roots music history. The acoustic trio was made up of Champ Hood on fiddle and Walter Hyatt on guitar. All three contributed to the complex sound and stellar songwriting, but it was Walter Hyatt's peculiar energy and intellect that stamped the group with his name and personality. Uncle Walt's Band's biggest fans were some of the biggest names in their base in Austin TX, including Lyle Lovett and Marcia Ball. They were truly something, but eventually they went their separate ways. Walter Hyatt died in a plane crash in 1996. Hood died of cancer in 2001. Here, Ball talks about the band and the new Anthology of its best work out now on Omnivore Recordings.
