Those Happy Places

In this luminous episode, join Alice and Buddy as they welcome two special guests. Aly Grauer and Drew Mierzejewski are Podcasters, Performers, Writers, and Builders of Worlds—they’ve also both worked in iconic shows and attractions at some of Orlando’s most famous theme parks. Listen in as they talk about their experiences as Human Interfaces for these attractions, and how their core philosophy of Including and Elevating guests extends into their current work in the Actual Play RPG Podcasting space.

Topics Include: Poseidon’s Fury: Escape from the Lost City, Jungle Cruise Skippers, the Velociraptor Encounter, the Hogwarts Express, the idea of the Human Interface, Animatronic Hosts, Sympathy and Empathy in Theme Park Interactions, the Jedi Training Academy, Renaissance Festivals, the Performance of Cast Members at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and the Importance of Protecting Cast Members. Plus many, many more!
