The Life of a Fangirl Podcast

I had the chance to speak with Executive Producer Johanna Stein and Co-Executive Producer Dana Starfield about their new show, Madagascar: A Little Wild.

Learn what makes them happiest when it comes to their creative processes, and what they hope kids watching today will remember about the show 10 years from now.

It is coming to Hulu this week (September 7) and we're getting 6 episodes for your kids to binge right away!

Madagascar: A Little Wild on Hulu

Fangirls and guys, I know what we're going to do today!

The creators and voice talent of Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe sat down for a Q&A sesh.

• Why did they decide to make a movie?
• Why did they focus on Candace?
• Do kids really love Tom Stoppard jokes?
• Is Candace Against the Universe ok for kids?

And so much more.

Bonus: you get a little Phineas and Doofenshmirtz sprinkled in during the episode recording. The fangirl in me LOVED those moments!

So today I gotta ask:

What'cha doin'?

You're going to listen to this episode, then watch Candace Against the Universe on Disney+ starting Friday, August 29th.

We all have them- those celebs we are simply OB-SESSED with. Some of them might not float your boat, but hey, that's the perks of being a fangirl.

We're all In the Room Where It Happened!

Because Disney+ just dropped Hamilton, the film of the award-winning Broadway Musical for our viewing pleasure.

And this might have single-handedly saved 2020 from being a complete dumpster fire of a year. You gotta take your happy where you can find it, friends!

On today's episode, Sally Bulavko from the Finding Finish Lines Podcast joins me to fangirl the entire cast, King George, the experience, and of course, Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Universal Orlando opened last week. So we packed up the car and went for a road trip.

Yes. A Theme Park during a pandemic. Sooooo 2020, amirite?

Tania from LolaLambchops.com joins me today- and also on the trip.

Here's what we thought about:

• The Universal Orlando resorts
• Temperature checks
• Masks
• Crowds
• Drinking Butterbeer again
• Team Members back at work
• Other park goers
• And getting Universal Annual Passes this year

Did we feel safe? Did we regret going? Would we do it again?

And what tips you need to know if visiting a theme park is on your summer list.

This week is one of my most favorite episodes ever.

Not only is my 8-year-old daughter, Lucy, cohosting with me but we interviewed one of her favorite TV personalities.

Publicly she was cool as a cucumber but behind the scenes she was dancing her little fangirl heart out over this opportunity. It was A-DORABLE.
