Welcome back to another edition of the Disney dish podcast with Jim Hill. It's me, Lantesta, and this is our show for the week of Schmer's Day, November 29th, 2021. On the show today, news, listener questions, and in our main segment, Jim Hill gives us the history of

Rolling in about this and she's like,

And he was the only one who knew, only three of the books had come out at that point.

Oh, a great story.
