Tom Hischak and The Disney Song Encylopedia; Theme Park Music Conference; Disney News

06/30/24 • 59 min

Hello Disney Music Fans! It’s been a few weeks since our last episode, and that is because I was fortunate enough to have attended a first-of-its-kind conference in Orlando that focused specifically on theme park music. It was a tremendous experience that left me inspired, enlightened, and with lots of future guests for the podcast to give amazing perspectives on Disney and theme park music. We are also thrilled to be joined today by Tom Hischak to discuss his book, the Disney Song Encyclopedia, which is a critically acclaimed reference work that categorizes and analyzes over 1000 songs from Disney movies, TV shows, shorts, and attractions. All this, and some Disney music news as well

Follow Tom at www.thomashischak.com, and you can find The Disney Song Encyclopedia at Amazon. Also check out the programming for Theme Park Music and Sound Conference at www.themeparkmusicandsound.org
