Hello, I'm Michael Eisner.

Now, here is your host.

Hi and welcome back to the defunct land podcast. Today we are having a very, very, very, very special episode because I am joined by a former imaginere, Rick Rothschild, and I can't wait to get to this interview. I'm really excited. I'm not going to go over everything that you've done, Rick, because I want to hear it straight from you.

But I know that those listening that are interested, especially in defuncterides, are going to have a pretty great time listening to this interview in particular.

So, Rick, thank you so much for being here.

Absolutely.

Thank you for having me.

And so just to get started, how many years were you at a Mad? Absolutely. Thank you for having me.

I was there full time for 31 years. I started in 1978, and I took what was no, I guess, called early retirement in the spring of 2009. And I've subsequent to that,

worked on eight or nine attractions, Disney attractions, through my company that I formed.

That's basically just myself. And I've also done a number of attractions outside of Disney

since 2009. Yeah. And that's a practice that I've also done a number of attractions outside of Disney since 2009.

Yeah, and that's a practice that I've heard that other imaginers do.
