In which Bart gets all magical. From the Harry Potter Celebration at Universal Orlando to The Magicians on SyFy to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on the stage in London.

In which Bart pays tribute to the incredible actor, and beloved potions master, Alan Rickman.

In which Bart laments a sad few weeks for Rock n' Roll, paying tribute to Scott Weiland, Lemmy Kilmister, and David Bowie. Then briefly discusses the announced changes at Disneyland in preparation for Star Wars land and how they might affect his next book (or not.) And also starts spending his Powerball winnings already!

In which Bart talks about being sick, how Tamilflu messed up his brain, tries to turn to the Disney Parks Blog to salvage the episode, and gives a very brief, almost Drunk History version of how Disney Home Video began.

In which Bart gives a brief summary of a green Christmas, then dives right into a spoiler-filled review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. You've been warned.

In which Bart spends Christmas Eve Eve waxing rhapsodically about chicken wings and White Castle, gives a little WDW update about a new bar at Disney's Animal Kingdom, and even shares an excerpt from a new Christmas Story.

Put on your ugliest holiday sweater, because baby it's cold outside (and creepy inside) and we're singing carols, reviewing A Very Murray Christmas, talking about audiobooks, Martin Short, Harry Potter, refurbishing Epcot rides, and even doing a little Christmas shopping. Get ready to sing and swing, baby!

The 100th episode in which Bart reflects on over two years of shows, the changes that have come, and the future ahead, before recapping Thanksgiving shenanigans, giving a brief review of The Good Dinosaur (which veers off into a memory of an obscure 1988 action movie called Shakedown) and finally answers some listener questions, including which Hogwarts house he belongs in.

In which Bart talks about boozy, smoky Thanksgivings of the past, the crowded circus of a Turkey Day he's not excited about this year, making people work on holidays, and sincerely thanks all of the listeners and supporters of Ears of Steel. Plus, Jessica Jones, Captain America, and a new collaboration on the horizon?

In which freshly returned from a trip to America's Dairyland, Bart discusses road trips, the joys of being a hockey parent (expense aside), the Wisconsin Dells, Spotted Cow, and good times at Great Wolf Lodge.
