Mike on Nick's ERT Show!

One of the fun things about being a podcaster is that sometimes, you get to be a guest on other people's shows.

This week, I got to hang out with the U.K.'s favorite son, Nick Hutson on his ERT Show.

We talked about his recent trip to Alton Towers.

I have to say, I think I did pretty good talking about a park I have never visited before!  Take a listen!

CoasterRadio.com #501 - The House at Haunted Hill

"The House at Haunted Hill" is one of the best
home haunts anywhere!

Season 5 of Coaster Radio.com is here!

AND... It's EB and Mike's favorite time of year, Halloween!

This week, the guys interview Matt Ford.  he's the creative genius behind "The House at Haunted Hill," an amazing Halloween show in Southern California.

The great thing about the show is that it's not located at a theme park or at some commercial venue.  Matt, along with his family and friends, have created this amazing experience at his home!

You'll hear the details behind this innovative home haunt and how it was inspired by Disneyland's Haunted Mansion.  You'll also hear how some Disney theme park voice talent came on board to make "The House at Haunted Hill" even more special.

EB and Mike also will fill you in on some changes to both the podcast and the website for Season 5.  There's also big news about "The David Arquette Project" and our "Arquette Arithmetic" contest!

Plus, EB will fill you in on the behind the scenes story about how his son Mark won Holiday World's "#1 Fan Contest!"

EB is a guest on The Season Pass Podcast!

There are certain things you can bank on in this life... death, taxes and people's love of EB.

Flava used to say that the rest of the Coaster Radio cast could stay home, but as long as EB was on the show, it would survive.

So, that's why it's interesting to note that EB has never been a guest on someone else's podcast.

Until now.

This week, EB is a guest on The Season Pass Podcast's ERT with Nick Hutson.

You can listen here!

EB and Nick have a conversation about theme park queues, online theme park marketing, Halloween Haunted houses, musicals, and EB's thoughts on the future of television.  EB also tells the behind the scenes story about how his son Mark won Holiday World's #1 Fan Contest!

And somehow, Hagrid makes an appearance!  (I thought he was under exclusive contract to our show!  We'll get the Lift Hill Media lawyers on it.)

We didn't get to do a show this week because of technical programs, so this is a wonderful substitute!

An Equation For Happiness

We received this e-mail from Travis in California....

"I just thought I would send you this nifty photo. First of all, I wanted to do another photo representing from Captain EO (which was quite enjoyable for me), but I also was joined by a good buddy. Doug Barnes from the Season Pass Podcast was here a few weekends ago and we hung out for a while. Now that I am a correspondent of The Season Pass Podcast (having been a guest host on the 2009 Halloween episode), we are both huge supporters of your show and we want to send our love to you guys."

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.

Back on The Season Pass Podcast

This week, I'm a guest on episode 74 of The Season Pass.

If you miss the old Coaster Radio.com podcast, I think this is the closest thing out there these days. Every week, there's quality and fun discussion about the amusement industry.

In this week's show, Arthur Levine joins Doug Barnes and me in an extensive conversation about working as the Theme Park Guide for about.com.

We also dish on water parks (especially the indoor resort boom), park trends (including “Interactivity”), Arthur’s E-Ticket and Z-Ticket selections and we take a look into the 2009 season (analyzing both economy and new attractions).

Check out the podcast HERE!

....And talk about the episode in the CoasterRadio.com forums.

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?

Talk about this in the CoasterRadio.com Forums.

Oh Pioneers?

Back when I was producing the podcast, there would be some weeks where I would have trouble coming up with new content.

Most times, I would design a new contest or find a guest that normally wouldn't be on a theme park show.

I guess the guys at the Season Pass Podcast had a similar problem this week. But to fill time, they decided to talk about us.

They were kind enough to say that CoasterRadio.com was a pioneering podcast for the theme park industry. They even went so far to call me a "podcast celebrity". (For the record, I don't believe that at all.)

In this episode, you hear them talk about their favorite moments from the show and for some reason, Nick Hutson is there playing live selections from the CoasterBoy Musical. Anything to fill time, right?
