11 Mar 2016tspp #323- Jack Lindquist Tribute: 2013 IAAPA Disney Legends Panel 3/10/1602:01:07

*Subscribe @ iTunes*

Jack Lindquist was not only the first President of Disneyland, but one of the most important innovators of theme park marketing. This podcast is a tribute to the amazing spokesperson that the themed entertainment industry lost on February 28, 2016. Here’s a recording of the 2013 IAAPA Disney Legends Panel, from Orlando, Florida. The presentation is based on the “Year of the Author.” It’s moderated by Bob Rogers (BRC Imagination Arts), and sitting on the panel is Jack Lindquist (former President of Disneyland, Author of In Service to the Mouse), Marty Sklar (former Ambassador of Walt Disney Imagineering, Author of Dream It! Do It!), and Lee Cockerell (former Executive Vice President of Operations for Walt Disney World Resort, Author of Creating Magic and The Customer Rules). Not the best recording (since this audio was never meant to be published), but a wonderful and educational piece on the industry, the importance of leadership, and includes the quick wit of the late, great, Jack Lindquist. Enjoy.

13 Aug 2019VSPP #53- LGBT+ Representation in Horror (EXPLICIT LANGUAGE)--Unreleased (Midsummer Scream 2018)00:55:13

VINTAGE SEASON PASS PODCAST:

EPISODE #53 (EXPLICIT LANGUAGE) - UNRELEASED PRESENTATION FROM MIDSUMMER SCREAM 2018--Long Beach, CA.

MIDSUMMERSCREAM.ORG

One and all are welcome at this panel exploring the presence of lesbian, gay, bi, and trans artists in the horror community. From the “otherness” of the horror genre to the self-expression made possible by Halloween costumes, this niche has long afforded comfort and creativity to those who hide in plain sight, catapulting others to stardom.

With horror carving out more space in the mainstream and Halloween continuing year-round, how can we maximize our visibility? What counts as “good” representation? This panel of LGBT+ horroristas will discuss ways to make sure we’re not just following trends, but setting them — and in doing so, honoring the trails blazed by our kin throughout horror history.

Find community, get inspired, and embrace your inner diva monster! Our panelists have such sights to show you.

09 May 2019VSPP #30- Michael Libby (w/ Tony Baxter)00:30:25
