Please join me in welcoming the Dixie Landings Radio Podcast! The new kids on the block, co-hosts Scott and Matt have fired up an awesome weekly show full of Disney history, fun, and Southern hospitality! Scott’s here today to tell y’all why you need to give this show a listen!
“We’re gonna take you down, we’re gonna take you down, we’re gonna take you all the way down. Goin’ down the bayou, goin’ down the bayou, takin’ you all the way!”
Since we are relatively new to podcasts, we don’t have a huge history, but what we do have so far, I hope you enjoy. Matt and I started the Dixie Landings Radio Podcast back in August. We had our first podcast recording together back in March when we took over the Enchanted Tiki Talk Podcast on April Fool’s Day. From that day on, we talked about how much fun it was and that we should look into doing one together. The thought about it was fun, but it just kind of faded away. I was about to lose my job due to my resort burning down and my wife was due to have our first child in just a couple of months. Life was about to get hectic. I wanted to see how being a new dad would be and what time I would have available before getting into it. Well let’s forward to today. I now have a wonderful 2.5 month old baby boy and have been able to find some free time, although I don’t exactly know how!
Matt and I talked again and decided to take the first step and get going. What seemed easy in theory turned out to be very hard. What would our podcast name be? What would our Twitter name be? Would we have a dedicated website or just the hosting site website? I go so excited with the thought of it all, as overwhelming as it was at first. We created our own website, finally decided on a name that had a lot of meaning to both of us, and just kept going. Dixie Landings Radio was officially born!
Now…where do we start? We’ve got all the hard stuff out of the way, or so we thought. Now we actually had to record! How do we record though? Neither of us had done this other than the day we were guests. Once recorded, how do we edit? And how does it get posted to iTunes, Stitcher and everything else? After much research and asking other podcasters for help, we were on our way. But another roadblock…what do we discuss? These shows need some thought put into them. It didn’t seem to be getting any easier. We had a brainstorming call and finally decided on everything. And what can I say, it’s been an absolutely pleasure and a lot of fun recording and sharing our passion for Disney with our listeners. We had a lot of fun creating a new game show, Name That Disney Tune where we brought on three guests to play as well. Thanks to Lisa Green for being so much fun and bringing a whole new level of excitement to the show…even for getting last place!
So here we are, just now releasing our 7th episode. We’ve gone over the history of Dixie Landings/Port Orleans Riverside, played Name That Disney Tune, talked about what we would do if we had to add, remove, or change parts of EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. We went over our top park music and discussed taking your children to Disney. Want to know more about any of those? You’ll have to tune in to the show and find out. New shows are released on Monday, just in time to have for your morning commute to work.
We hope you get your sweet tea and join us in the bayou each week!
Matt & Scott
