Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
This week we talk with journalist and author Chuck Schmidt about his new book Marty, Mickey and Me.
You may already by familiar with Chuck’s work from his previous books or his regular column on Allears.net, but even if you aren’t, this isn’t an episode you want to miss.
We get into Chuck’s incredible career, from making early connections within the Disney company to numerous stories involving some incredible Disney Legends (I mean how amazing would it be to just causally run into Joe Rohde?)
And if you want to read about even more of Chuck’s incredible stories with Disney Legend Marty Sklar, check out his book Marty, Mickey and Me which is out now.
Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.
