The CoasterRadio.com Podcast Is Back!

2009 must be the year of "the comeback." Because Pee Wee Herman is back and so are we.

Today marks the relaunch of the Coaster Radio.com podcast.

The original podcast began in 2005 and ran for two years. After a three year absence, EB and I are back for a weekly show.

You'll notice that the new show has a few changes, but one thing that remains the same is the interactivity with the audience. We have a ton of ways for you to be a part of the show. We hope you'll take advantage!

This week, we talk about what's new with CR, 2010 ride announcements, Disney's new FastPass ideas as well as a ton of other stuff.

If you haven't subscribed to the podcast, now's the time to sign up!

Give it up for Clint Novak

Here's a tip of the hat to Mr. Clint Novak of the Coaster Crew.

He agreed to ride Shockwave at Kings Dominion in a red dress if listeners of In the Loop met their financial goal for the Single Riders Marathon.

The listeners came through and Clint paid off the bet like a man. And he wore the propeller beanie for good measure!

Congratulations to Clint and everyone over at the Coaster Crew!

My "Calling"

I had a "calling" this week..... and it has led me back on the air.

Actually, the "calling" came from Clint Novak, Will Holder and Pat McCabe from In The Loop. They called me on Monday and asked me to fill in on their podcast for a few weeks while one of their co-hosts takes an extended break.

It was kind of funny that they called when they did, because I have really been missing podcasting lately.

Over the past few weeks, I have been listening to some of my favorite old episodes of CoasterRadio.com and wondering if it's time to start up something new.... or resurrect something old.

For now, helping out on the new live version of "In The Loop" is a good way to get back into the swing of things.

For those of you who don't know, Clint and the gang have taken their long-running podcast and turned it into a live show. It airs every Monday night at 8:00 PM Eastern time. (You can link to the live show at coastercrew.com.

The amazing thing about the show is that listeners can call in and take part in the show live! Listeners can also participate in a live chat room that is active while the show is taking place.

Back when we did CoasterRadio.com, the technology was not advanced enough to handle live broadcasts. But now, In The Loop has taken the whole podcasting genre to a new level of interactivity.

Hopefully some of you guys from this site will take a listen and perhaps even call in! I'd love to hear from some of the old CR.com fans!

It's Skype-tastic!

This week, I continue my world tour of appearing on podcasts other than Coaster Radio.com.

This time around, I'm a guest on Doug Barnes' The Season Pass. If you remember, we talked about them a few weeks ago on this blog.

I was joined by Ricky Brigante from Inside the Magic and Nick Hutson from Musical Talk.

We spent close to two hours talking about the world's #1 vacation destination...Orlando, FL.

It's a pretty good conversation even though the participants were in Florida, California, DC and the UK respectively. You've gotta love Skype!

Take a listen here.

So now I've been a guest on The Season Pass, Inside the Magic, Musical Talk and In The Loop... when do I get to guest on the CoasterBuzz Podcast?

Mike Collins on "In The Loop"

In addition to the latest podcast we released earlier this week, I had a chance to take part in the latest podcast from the guys at "In The Loop".

For the first time ever, I took part in a show via Skype.

Now you can hear what we'll have to look forward to when EB joins us from Indiana!

Here's the link to the podcast.
