Summary

Thank you for downloading and streaming WEDway Radio; this is the original Disney history show. This week, Matt is joined by architect and Disney enthusiast Wesley James to look back at the Disney Decade 2.0. There was no proclamation, but as Michael Eisner's efficacy waned as the chairman of the Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger stepped in to take the Disney company in a new direction.

Enjoy!
