Description
Theme parks deserve smart discussion, and The Tomorrow Society Podcast is here to help. Interviews go in-depth and explore Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and other parks from a fan’s perspective. I talk to authors, filmmakers, podcasters, and experts that have worked behind the scenes on the parks. Walt Disney set the standard with Disneyland, and history is important. We live in an exciting time for the industry, and there’s no limit on what designers can imagine and build. Join me on this exciting journey into the world of themed entertainment.
