The Ethan and Daddo Show

Ethan and Daddo get into the holiday spirit by chatting with Chris Van Allsburg, Author and Illustrator of the Caldecott Award winning book "The Polar Express" - later adapted into the classic holiday film starring Tom Hanks. 

Ethan is learning how to ride the new bike he got for his birthday, so we thought we'd get some advice from an expert - U.S. Olympian and three time Tour de France rider Lawson Craddock!

Lawson shares some great tips for new riders and takes us inside the worlds most famous race.

Ethan and Daddo visit the LEGOLAND Discovery Center inside the American Dream mall in East Rutherford, NJ! 

We had an incredible day checking out the giant Lego creations, hopping on the Imagination Express ride and taking a building class in the Creative Workshop. But, of course, the best part was sitting down for an interview with Anthony, LEGOLAND's amazing Master Model builder.

Ethan and Daddo travel to Baltimore to spend the day at Camden Yards and sit down with Tony Mansolino, the team's third base coach and infield instructor.

Tony, a former minor league player and manager, talked all about this exciting young Orioles team, what his job entails and how signals work on the field. He also gave some advice to kids like Ethan who are transitioning from hitting off a tee to facing a pitcher. A great day and an Orioles win!

Ethan and Daddo take the show to Chocolate Expo where we chat with three cast members from the original Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory film - Paris Themmen (Mike Teevee), Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca Salt) and Rusty Goffe (the main Oompa Loompa).

We also learn the secrets of chocolate making from Steve Mazur of Mazur Chocolates in New Jersey and Dave Mack from Loon Chocolate in New Hampshire.

Casey Carle is the star of the stage show BubbleMania!, in which he does hilarious and incredible things with bubbles - including putting an audience member inside of one! 

We saw BubbleMania! at a theater near our home and were so blown away that we had to have him on the podcast immediately (while he was cleaning up)!
