Tales From The Jungle Crews

Here's the second half of our holiday sit down with Skippers Kip and Rex. We had a fun time playing games, chatting about Disneyland, and general pop culture shenanigans. Lots of fun and yuks with a lovely pair of gentlemen. See you guys in 2 weeks for our "Post Valentine's" "Love at the Jungle Cruise" episode. Skipper Kyle

2013 is here, but we've got one last taste of 2012 in this podcast. Skipper Rex and Skipper Kip sit down with yours truly to chat about the Holidays at Disneyland. Lots of fun Holiday gabbing, and tons of puns. We had such a fun time chatting, we ended up running long... So we split this one into 2 episodes. A little extra New Year treat. Kungaloosh, my friends!

Happy Holidays to all of you! As we wind down 2012, we've got a lovely treat for you. Skipper Ron Robledo shares his experiences at Jungle in the late 80's, as well as his time at the Imagineering Department. The sound quality on the first third of the episode is a bit loud for the background noise, so my apologies there. It's still fairly clear on the voice side, but it's the danger of  "Guerilla Podcasting". Also, just as a note; We discuss a lot of "Theoretical" projects, and general information regarding Imagineering and park plans and such. This is, on my part, pure speculation and just things I had heard over the years. It's not meant to be fact. Actually, if you've listened for 30 episodes and think that I know what I am talking about in general, we're in trouble... Enjoy, my friends, and 2013 is looking like it's going to be an exciting year, and we've got a lot of episodes lined up for you!

Hey there, all our friends in the Internet Adventurelands, and welcome to Tales From The Jungle Crews. Big news! We're on Stitcher Radio now, and we're happy to have a bunch of new friends. Thanks for joining us! You can listen to us from the Stitcher App, or still from iTunes or here. We love this media stuff. This episode is part 2 of our October taping with Joey and Trevor of their eponymous podcast, but also joining us are Skipper Josh and Skipper Jay. This was a fun episode, and surprisingly not really explicit tagged. We must be losing our "cool" "edgy" factor. Email us at JungleCrews@gmail.com to have all your questions answered, and we've got a stack of episodes recorded for release every 2 weeks. We're getting "professional" again.

Greetings out there in the internet adventure lands, to all you skips and skipettes. Welcome back to Tales from the Jungle Crews... So, one of the joys of a hobby is when you have all kinds of fun things that crop up in your, shall we call it, "Real life", that things get to take a back-seat. I apologize to all of you that it's taken 2 months to get this episode up. One of the many lessons I have learned over the last year is that Skippers are hard to pin down to an actual time, even when there is alcohol involved. I'm working on getting more interviews lined up. So, if you were a Jungle Cruise skipper, or know a jungle cruise skipper, who wants to sit down and tell your stories, we'd love to have you. I also should have the phone recording system set up in the next week, so we are going to try that as well. This episode was recorded at our 1 year anniversary SkipGather in August. Now, the SkipGather was this thing where we'd hang out at trader sam's, and any skippers who showed up would just randomly record episodes with us. It was a lot of fun, and we're looking at doing more in the future. This episode, as about half of our episodes are, is not suited for the little skips in the audience. We may hit on a few adult tones, so, be warned. THis one has the explicit tag on it, but it's a lot of fun. I got to hang out with a few of my favorite people this night, and had a great time reminiscing about how I first reminisced about doing the podcast. It's been over a year, we've had nearly 60k downloads between all of our podcasts, and we've loved bringing this to you. I'm hoping for new episodes soon, so please keep passing the info along to your friends. SkipCast on itunes. So, without further ado, we go back in time... to August. And we join our recording already in progress

Man, that episode title is getting LONGER and LONGER! Welcome back everyone. The Jungle Crews Radio Play is back! Episode 5, the Doom with a Pinata Tattoo. This episode features Trevor Kelly as the fearless explorer Gary London, Joey Hurley as his sidekick Skippy, Jay Sabicer as Bob Smith, and a special thank you to Patrick Hall as "Harold The Yeti"... (We're excited about the Yeti cameo in this one.) This episode was recorded in the middle of a fireworks show, literally, so there's some weird noises in there. But we can just pretend it was Jungle noises. This Wednesday is the next SkipGather and 1 year Skip-niversary at Trader Sam's... August 8th, at 7pm. Join us for shenanagans. Enjoy, and shoot us a message if you love the episode.

Hey Skip-friends... Welcome back to Tales From The Jungle Crews... This week we're doing something a little different. As many of you may, or may not know, this podcast isn't our only endeavor. Under the name "Skip Cast Networks", we actually produce and promote 4 different podcasts. The tie in is that they are all produced by skippers and have that skipper-centric view of life. The first two are the TFJC and JCRP, the radio play following the adventures of Gary London, Skipper Esquire. Secondly is the newly blossomed Nerd 101. We take a 20 minute slice of a Nerd culture topic and explain it to the non-nerd. If you want to know the nuts and bolts about the Zombie phenomenon, or Firefly, or Doctor Who, we're the place to explain the basics to you. You can find that podcast on iTunes, under either Nerd101 or Skipcast. But the other podcast we really love is by our friends Trevor Kelly and Joey Hurley. I worked with both these cats back on the river, and I am proud to say we've become friends over the years. Their podcast, Joey and Trevor Talk To Each Other has become a breakout on iTunes, making it onto the New and Noteworthy section. Usually they just talk random, and quite funny stuff, but this week they sat down with Skipper Kip from the Jungle Cruise, and the results were really great. It actually felt more like a TFJC episode, so I asked the guys if I could rebroadcast it so you all could hear it. If you like the Joey and Trevor magic, find them on Facebook at Facebook.com/JoeyAndTrevor, or search Joey and Trevor on iTunes. As always, please find us on Twitter, @Skipcast. Also, some of you may have noticed we were gone for a week, and that is because our bandwidth charges have gone through the roof. We tripled our audience in July, and we're hitting nearly 4000 downloads a month. I waited as long as i could before doing this, but I put up a PayPal donation button on the page at JungleCrews.Podbean.com. If you love the show, and want to help me defer some of the costs, I'd love the help. As of last week we had 20,000 downloads in just about a year, and that's pretty damn special. Ok, here we go... Joey and Trevor Talk to each other... a Very Special Episode of TFJC.

Hey everyone, welcome to June's Tales From The Jungle Crews. I'm still working on more than one "serious" episode per month, but it's been a little challenging. (and maybe at some point I can quit making excuses for how hard it is to do this project while I have 2 full time jobs) This month, we chat with Skippers Scott Kelly and Jacob Caputo. Two men enter the cage, but three come out. Not exactly sure how that worked. But it was fun catching up with an old friend, even if I did show up an hour late to the taping because I was having my tires vulcanized. Enjoy, Radio Play goodness in less than a week... Skipper Kyle

So, has it been 3 weeks already? Episode 11 is here, and we sat down with the charming and lovely skippers Kriszstina Varga and Alison Rowley.
