Nathan Parrish
Nate Parrish researches Disney history for his podcasts: WEDWay Radio, a show about Disney history, experiencing the Disney Parks and the Walt Disney Company, and WEDWay NOW! the companion news show and window to the Disney community, both co-hosted by with his brother Matt. Nate helped create and produce Betamouse, the first Disney podcast about the convergence of Disney and technology. One of the areas that has made WEDWay Radio a success is that it not only explores the details of the Disney Parks, but also examines the cultural relevance. By day, Nate is a high school history teacher in suburban Kansas City MO.
Recently, on WEDWay Radio, we discussed Walt Disney and his vision for the "Global Village." The following is a summary of our discussion. At the end of the article, we provide a link for you to listen along.
