Margaret Winkler: She Discovered Walt Disney - Episode 108

Okay, if you’re the kind of person who likes to skip to the end and read the final chapter of a book  - and if you happen to own the full series of Dust Bin stories – which of course if available on Amazon right now – then you would be familiar with the following story. 

It’s tucked into the back – the very last story of the third and final volume – and it’s one of my favorites because, well, because I love the love the idea of discovering talent in unusual places. 

And this discovery was, perhaps, one of the greatest finds of the twentieth century.   A discovery made by Margaret Winkler, a secretary who sought replacement for a cat, and found, oh, so much more!

Stories from History’s Dust Bin is a 3-volume set of historical short stories. These are the nuggets of gold that had fallen by the wayside… the little known and unusual. Many of these gems were destined to be forever lost until they were collected, dusted off and brought back to life by author Wayne Winterton.

Each podcast episode features one of over 450 short stories from either Winterton’s Award-Winning Stories from Dust Bin series* or the companion volume, From Ace to Zamboni: 101 More Dust Bin Stories, as narrated by either the author or his son, William, or daughter, Jana.

If you enjoy today’s episode, please leave us 5 stars and a glowing review on iTunes! And if you don’t want to wait a whole week to hear another story from the Dust Bin, consider picking up the books on Amazon (either downloadable or good ol’ fashioned ink and paper).
