Castle to Castle: A Tale of Two Disnerds - the Inspirational, International, Intersectional Disney Podcast

As Mick Jones of Big Audio Dynamite sings at the end of 'The Bottom Line': gonna take you to, gonna take you to, gonna take you to Part 2...

Anybody? No? Okay.

Anyway, yes, this is Part 2 of episode 42, and we think it stands up pretty well to Part 1! First, Mike and Emily discuss the recently-unveiled (and adorable) teaser trailer for Disney/Marvel's Big Hero 6, then Clare and Lou return, to round off the MouseMeets discussion with all of the fun of day 2. Mike and Emily return, for a little bit of editorial discussion that's a lot more interesting than that might sound, and then it's time for a slightly long outro that reminds us all to Be Proud!

We really hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it - let us know what you think, on Facebook (75 Likes...can we get 100?), Twitter, by reviewing us (go on...) on iTunes, or by emailing us at [email protected] - and, as always, enjoy!

The Disnerds return in full force! Mike & Emily FINALLY get around to discussing that big mega-super-hit of last November, but it's still emptying Disney Stores around the world, so we should probably talk about it...lots of interesting implications, which also come into the discussion when it moves on to Disney's upcoming Moana (or Spirited?), and next year's Pixar offering Inside Out. Finally, Mike reviews the first day of May's MouseMeets event with a couple of very special guests, Clare and Lou (the Official Twins (tm) of MouseMeets)!In fact, there's so much packed into this episode that there's a Part 2 coming up in just a couple of weeks, so stay tuned! Let us know if you enjoyed this part, on Facebook, by joining the conversation on Twitter, or, of course, by emailing us at [email protected] - and, as always, enjoy!

Here's a little gift from the British Disnerd...bien s'amuser, et joyeux Noel!

Just Mike this time around - Emily will return in good time!

Welcome back! This month, Mike & Emily revisit the Disney princess brand, and aren't entirely happy with what they see...but there are peaks and troughs, and we certainly explore the good side of the brand as well. There's also an email from a usual suspect, and a very special birthday surprise at the end to cap it all off - speaking of birthdays, happy birthday, Emily! If you want to wish Emily many happy returns, and especially if you're an unusual suspect, you can talk to us via [email protected], Like us on Facebook, or find and follow us on Twitter - and, as always (we hope) - enjoy!

Apologies for being a couple of days late - but it could be worse! As the show title suggests, we delve into the worlds of Fraggle Rock and Wreck-It Ralph this episode, and have a good time doing so. There are also a couple of emails to read, and if you want to send us one of your own, you know where to send it!Oh, you don't?Well, we know you do, really, but we'll remind you anyway... [email protected]!Let us know what you think, by hitting us up at that address, OR by Liking us on Facebook, OR by Following us on Twitter - and please forgive our sporadic activity re: social networking. And, as always - enjoy!

...and here are just a few more cock-ups for your listening pleasure. Be warned, this episode is NOT for family listening, or those with sensitive dispositions. Some of these clips have been heard before, but always with censor bleeps; this time, the gloves (and bleeps) are decidedly off.

With this warning heeded, we hope you'll listening to these nuggets of naughtiness as much as we enjoyed cocking them up!

In celebration of our recent second anniversary, and this auspicious day of tomfoolery, we present to you a very 'special' episode of Castle to Castle. Enjoy...

Back again - eventually - as always! This month, Mike and Emily discuss the American Disnerd's trip to the original Disneyland, way back in December. There's lots of music and laughter, a bit of Star Wars, a bit of gushing - all the stuff you've come to know and love from the Disnerds.
