Summary
WDW Radio # 695 - Interviews from New York ComicCon: Scot Drake and Brian Volk-Weiss
I just returned from New York Comic Con 2022, and want to share two of the conversations I had while there.
The first is with Scot Drake, Creative Executive Marvel Global Portfolio from Walt Disney Imagineering about Marvel and its place in the Disney Parks and Experiences around the world. We talk about the evolution of the storytelling experiences in the parks, including interactivity and personalization, and the connections the Parks, characters, and stories have with guests.
I also had the opportunity to interview Brian Volk-Weiss, creator of The Toys and The Movies That Made Us, Behind the Attraction on Disney+, and his newest project, Icons Unearthed: The Simpsons. We discuss not only this new series about the longest-running TV show of all time, but storytelling, filmmaking, and fandom.
Stay tuned for our Disney Trivia Question of the Week where you can enter to win a Disney prize package, and more updates at the end of the show.
If you like what you hear, please share the show and tell a friend. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show.
