Introduction and Zencastr Benefits
00:00:00
Speaker
Dave, you know why I love using Zencaster? Is it because the recording quality is better than other methods of recording a podcast virtually? Nope. Is it because they offer a free version for hobbyists just getting started? No, not that. Is it because it's super easy to use for everyone and none of our guests have ever had an issue using it? That's not it. Is it because they offer automatic post-production and transcription services? Negative.
00:00:29
Speaker
Stop burying the lead. Why do you love Zencaster? It's because Zencaster is all of the things you just said, Dave. Well, and they sponsor this pod.

With Disney content being the catalyst or cornerstone for many a toy, hopefully this bodes well for fans of the theme parks, streaming content, and films coming from the House of Mouse.

Speaker
Lastly,
00:04:36
Speaker
It brings us great sadness to report the sudden and tragic passing of Jason David Frank at the age of 49.

We wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that you are loved. You are never alone, and there is always someone there to talk if you need them.
