In this episode: This week we're excited to welcome Marco Palos to the show! Marco is the co-founder of Phat Cat Swinger, "Hollywood's Little-Big Band" which you may have heard play at Disneyland or Disney California Adventure. Marco talks about the origins of his love for music and what inspires the songs he writes. He also tells us how social distancing played a role in giving himself permission to go beyond his comfort zone to explore different facets of his love of music and how he's pivoted that into an upcoming solo album release.

Returning the magic!

Sadly, the Disney Company laid off over 28,000 cast members (and counting) at Disneyland and Walt Disney World due to the pandemic. There have been many initiatives setup to help cast members and in this episode we talk about shifting our current Teamboat Willie fundraising efforts to help cast members in need.

We’ve setup our own food drive to try to help as many cast members as possible, One of the things we love about what Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County is doing is that for every dollar donated will provide the equivalent of 3 meals per person. That’s amazing! To help, you can click the image below to make a donation or help us out by sharing our donation page with your friends and family so that we can try to help as many cast members as possible.

Below are other resources you can use to help furloughed and recently laid off cast members.
