With the WDW Today crew at Mousefest this week, we're going to be making recommendations based on our favorite episodes this week in lieu of our normal programming. Here is the schedule...

Monday, December 3: Matt
Wednesday, December 5: Mike Newell
Friday, December 7: Mike Scopa
Monday, December 10: Len
(Please note, these recommendations will not appear in iTunes or your favorite podcast program

Matt recommends.... listening to the Studios Central Launch Party. Back in October Matt and Mike Newell broadcasted live on Mouse World Radio during a chat to celebrate the changeover from MGMStudios.Org to Studios Central and a copy of the audio program from that evening is now available to download.

Part One | Part Two | Part Three

Mongello Everyone.

I've been asked a lot about the upcoming shows that we have planned during Mousefest. While it's our intention to broadcast live from both the land and sea events, we have to be realistic that this may not be a reality.

Yes, there is internet access on board the Disney Wonder, but we're not sure if it can handle a live broadcast stream to the Live365 servers. The same goes for internet access at the Dolphin Resort for the Mega Mouse Meet. We're still, at this point, not sure if it's financially feasible to have a dedicated lan line to our table in the ballroom. If we can go live from the MMM, we will post it here as soon as we know. The plan would be to go live around 11am Eastern on Saturday, December 8.

We will certainly give it a try, but we didn't want to promote upcoming live shows that we could not provide.

As always, any shows we do from any of the land events, and aboard the Wonder, will be recorded for later broadcast/download.

Episode 342 is now available for download.
